That is what will happen because most of the coins/project are copycat from other project that already exist meaning there is no originality and the basic idea is that all are created for sole purpose but to make quick profit and then abandoned the project or just leave it there without any progress in the future \, because the team will focus with another creation and same old style, making money and move to another.
we must be aware of this and never support those kind of project, instead look for unique one that has valuable idea on how to help people in technology and not just in profiteering .
Yes it's true most of the new start-up projects are copycat of older projects, I might say that they are trying to improve the thing that the older projects are having trouble with but few of the start-up projects succeeded in their goals and sometimes what's worst is that the devs or creator behind the new projects are doing it to make a quick profit and yeah most of the time they rug pull. That's why it is riskier to invest in a new project without having a proper research about the projects usecases, devs or creator and the goal of the project, so whenever I am ask what project was worth to invest with I always suggest the top crypto token.
I have a bad experience investing in new projects, after I invested in new projects not long after that the price fell very quickly. And it's quite
a long time to have to wait until the price goes up again, because as you explained, most of the new projects that appear now are copycat from
previous projects. So it has no real use, new projects are created only for the personal benefit of the project team. If the team projects already
get the desired profit, then usually the projects will be abandoned, so it's no wonder so many altcoins end up being deadcoins. Indeed the safest
for investment is to choose a top crypto which usually has a very high demand, so even if the price goes down, it won't take long for it to recover.
So it's very easy to make profit from top crypto, although the profit generated is not as high as that of new projects.
