Can a successful project be built just on hype?

I think thats not the main criteria to become a succesful project, Although that in some instances hype is also important to gather some attention from the prospected investors but all in all it has an important contribution to become a succesful ICO project if the purpose is to gather more funds.

Every projects need some level of hype either good or bad. We must be able to create some hype around our project in order to be able to attract community to the project. So a project that will be successful also need some hype.

I think the hype will not last in the long run, about a few months later a scam. So the investors are not interested in hype. It could be after receiving a large investor, within 1 week immediately scam

I heard a lot of projects like this in 2018, but I wasn't interested in investing in new projects like that.
Hype does look good for someone novice who isn't familiar with crypto, good information makes new investors immediately buy more altcoin without seeing the products they have.
I don't expect altcoin price increase due to hype, but I really hope altcoin which has real products will definitely have high prices in the future

Can a successful project be built just on hype? In recent times, I have seen multiple projects Like Pieta Coin which became instantly popular due to a lot of hype which was created around them, but in fact, not all of these products are worth the attention they get. Then, there are other projects which are actually worth our time and money, yet investors choose to ignore them because of the lack of hype. Am I right about this?

Yes, you can make a project popular without a working product. The deception is that these projects usually have good advertising, that is, marketing works great. Therefore, they quickly gain popularity, and then, as they collect a large amount from investors, they disappear without a trace.

I think projects built on hype are only for a moment and then slowly erode. just succeeded at first. then who knows where.
projects built on hype certainly have successes and failures.

Using hype to sell projects/products is to gain people attention that particular products is good and also selling but is going to actually sell for a while it could be for a year the interest of people may just drop because at the initial time it was much booming because of the hype, for me successful project should not depend on hype alone.
