Lost Hope in Cryptocurrency in 2025

[lombok]

          -      According to what I've read about ico, it seems to have been successful around 2017 if I'm not mistaken because many crypto communities in this field have also made huge earnings through ico projects that rose during those times.

But it also seems like I don't see any ico projects now that are rising in bounties that become successful in the end, because most of them just pop up but I haven't heard of any participants who said that someone paid them and the price of it shot up in the market, I haven't seen or read any such situations.

I also believe that the ICO market has shifted in certain regards as well. As you pointed earlier, in the previous years the majority of the ICO projects were able to generate significant revenue and develop efficient and enthusiastic communities. However, in recent days many projects appear quite spontaneously, and storeys about the fantastic success of the latest ICO can be met quite rarely. This is because some of the many projects are not well managed or there is low investors involvement from a lack of information. As we have observed, in such a competitive market, it becomes really challenging on the part of entrepreneurs to identify projects that are capable of delivering quick performance, and what is worse, we do not have such an experience when we can witness a project that performs extraordinarily at the first instance.

Or simply it do becomes saturated and this is something that do happen after all the years on which there are tons of projects that launches on a very short time period and most of them are just that copy cats or using up on the same chain and having no relevance in terms of utility. The worst thing is that most people are now getting fond of dealing up with meme coins on which i could say that this is where most hype do generate out because we've seen that there are really those people who do get become millionaire because of it. Lost hope just because the market isnt moving as it should be? Changes are inevitable because investors views do changed up overtime specially their own inputs at the same time in speaking about impressions and views.

Indeed. We have Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 of 2025. If crypto prices are not very well in Q1, it may be increasing well in Q2, Q3, or Q4. As long as there is still a chance for the crypto prices to increase again, I think we don't need to lose hope. I personally can't say about the top prices of crypto coins, we may already reach the top prices. But to expect the price of crypto coins increasing again is not a mistake. For example, Bitcoin may increase again to $100k. I assume it is still possible as long as Bitcoin doesn't drop to $50k - $60k.

I would say it would happen once the tariff wars would end and the broader market would be injected with a dose of confidence, then liquidity should return to its rightful place, and then - the crypto market too.

You are not an exception to find yourself surrounded by circumstances that do not work the way you desired. However, getting to this far closes one’s eyes and will actually find that there is much more yet to be missed. Yes, change does happen but it has been noted that more mature decisions can be made in such conditions without undue euphoric pressure. Indeed, if you consider only those solutions that potentially bring profit shortly, it will certainly be very hard to identify the great potential in all that. In various spheres of life it is important to realise that many great things in this world started from something that was once considered ordinary or even underestimated. What remains are not tabloid-oriented but what actually has the substance which can be equivalent to the value. Therefore, it is advisable to shift the focus a bit and think in a different way, and to start envisaging further away.

We just need to never stop working toward our goals and learn upon our mistakes.

Once we get enough knowledge and experience - it will start to click.

And things will get much easier

But I noticed that too, I haven't heard of any successful ICOs in the cryptocurrency field at the moment, although I see some ICOs in bounties but I don't see anyone paying rewards to those who participated in their projects.

Because in 2017 I also experienced this year receiving rewards in an ICO campaign and I also received good earnings no matter what and by that time my position was still low rank despite that so I can say that 2017 was a good time compared to now which is really gone.

[Report]

Cryptocurrency gives us hope that we can get solid friends and communicate with each other every day even though we are in different continents and countries. Cryptocurrency also provides very qualified knowledge about digital technology, especially in the blockchain field.

I think OP's friend is already bored of being active in cryptocurrency and indeed if that feeling cannot be forced.
Maybe for OP's friend if he wants to retire in cryptocurrency, please retire because that can make his life comfortable and peaceful.

ICOs era has been over already, it makes sense if there is no success UCOs anymore. I think people have no interest anymore to invest in ICOs projects. They prefer to buy new coins/tokens when they are already listed in the exchanges. I think people feel afraid with ICO projects because there are too many failed ICO projects.

Yes, in 2016-2017, the payment from the campaign of ICO projects were very well. At that time, there were many successful ICO projects. It is very different with ICO projects recently. Now, most of them are scams or weak projects.

Who would forget that era? until to the first quarter of 2018 wherein there are a lot of ways to make money out of ICO. And perhaps it was mentioned because of comparison but it doesn't mean that we are literally in the ICO era.

We already past that stage although it has evolved a lot in the last 7 years or so. Every bull run cycle there will be one project that is going to be hype but then again, after the market has been saturated it will die down a natural death. So it's going to be cyclical, and as long as developers are not running out of ideas, new project will emerge in the future.

[CoinHolder]

If your friend knew Bitcoin since 2013 and Bitcoin was associated with this forum of Altcoinstalks.com. Then I would say he was a little knowledgeable. Because between 2016 and 2020 I had some friends who owned a lot of wealth. And they are living a luxury life now. If your friend had known Bitcoin before and about this forum, he would not have said that. I think he was lazy nature he did not do this. He seems to do that because he has no money in his wallet.

[DavetJack]

I think that hope for cryptocurrency is lost by those who see it only as a tool for speculation. Yes, the market is cyclical, and after growth, there is always a downturn, but technology continues to develop. Now it is important to look not only at the rates but also at the real applications of blockchain. For example, cryptocurrency payments are becoming more and more convenient, and there are already platforms that help businesses to easily work with digital assets, such as https://0xprocessing.com/commissions/. Studying such solutions, one realizes that crypto is not only trading, but also a real tool for financial transactions.

Yes, I agree that cryptocurrency is not only trading but also a real tool for financial transactions. Especially when it is promoted to the masses like this.

Yes, we who are involved in this crypto market know very well that this crypto currency is not just for trading, it is a prominent way of transaction for many prominent traders and see. Many traders make big transactions through it so they can do it carefully. And we also know that this crypto currency is more or less spread to the national population all over the world.

new projects will always appear and we can choose which project is good for investment. and as you said every cycle we can see projects that have sensation and success, but if the dev team does not make improvements and keep the project good and in demand by many people then the project will fail and become worthless.

I am not that sure if this tariff war will end that quickly since we can see and read news where there are countries that retaliates so yeah I am really expecting this to last long if no one is gonna find a peaceful solution to the said issue. Crypto for me has it's own flow regardless of what had happened to the world it still continue it's growth though there are seasonal hype and trends but they usually lasts few months and then back to normal again and I think that is how crypto's nature.

This means in some cases people make conclusions which are hasty, occurring on the basis of mere observing the exterior. Somebody might be aware of the existence of bitcoins for years but there are a number of people following the same that do not act. Some goalkeepers are in doubt while some are by circumstances. 2013 was not the best time to have faith in something that most people do not comprehend. However, some of us may have the right circle, sharp instincts or the courage to take risk while still others are silent. Never take actions of people as the way they are because we are not aware of what they’ve been through. They may require extra time to do the task or may be they are having the remorse of missed chance. Nevertheless, one thing that is clear, people rise in their own time.

In a project, everything depends on the developers of that project. We have seen many projects that initially gained traction in the market and later failed in the market because the developers did not actively provide updates over time or did not provide upgrades that would be good for the community, but only provided upgrades that would benefit them.
If I were to talk about the current bad state of Ethereum, I would also attribute it to the upgrades of its developers, where the community or general investors have benefited less and its developers have benefited more.
