I found out in the blockchain world, many people are losing patience when they start to invest in a project. Their understanding about "long term" is no longer years but weeks.
Some project need time to build and shape. What do you think?
It depends on the age of the investor.
Nowadays, some of the investors see crypto as a get-rich quick scheme, and maybe that's also the reason why most of them can't even commit to hold a coin for long term. I agree with what you said that a project takes years to develop that's why most of the projects are creating their project first then launching it to the public, so that it will not take too much time to develop because that might affect the trust of the investors. Well, let's also add the risks of it as well. We know that a project can just run away not leaving any traces at all. We know that a project that has been existing for years can just abandon the coin, leaving the investors, and run away with the money that they got. This is also the reason why investors don't have the patience to hold a coin for a very long time unless it's been existing for a very long time, and many people trust it.
Some project really needs time to build, and shape I agree. On the other hand, if you will continue to develop your project, and people see it beneficial to their everyday lives for whatever reason it is, they will support that project, hold the coin for maybe mid to long term. As for me, I'm at my mid-20's, so I can still risk some of my money to some new projects, but I opted not too because I'd rather invest it into some old projects, and some dividend paying stocks out there.
Is it really the investors’ fault for expecting quick returns? Or is it the system that feeds on their impatience? Crypto, by its very nature, is volatile, explosive, unpredictable. People are drawn to that wild, untamed potential for fast gains, arent they? Crypto is like the wild west of investing! Quick money, big risks. That’s why the older, more "traditional" projects seem too slow for some. Its not entirely about trust issues, man, it's about the rush, the potential for instant profit.
Projects running away, abandoning coins, breaking trust – you cant put that on impatient investors, can you? That's an issue with the projects’ integrity, not the temperament of the investors! Its high time we stop victim-blaming and put the responsibility where it belongs – with the project developers!
