My remarks about projects in general:
- non tech : you need a bit of money and determination
- tech: you need a lot of money and skilled tech team
- crypto:

you need skilled tech , money and luck
unfortunately the majority of crypto projects end as pump and dump, not because founders do want that, but because that's how the ecosystem works, early investors will dump on the next investors and kill the project, i have seen it 1000 times in crypto, because crypto investors are basically mostly immature kids.
