I will try to keep this post shorter than usual... I know I say that every time and it's never like that... 馃槂 I'm one of the co-owners of the 
One of the methods is the so-called "missions" that we run every Wednesday and the concept is very simple... We ask a question in a post on our main account

Also, I have to say that most questions are Achim's ideas and I occasionally drop some, but in most cases, he takes care of the "missions"... The last question that we asked the community was: "What Hive Project was the biggest disappointment for you?" You can check out the post here... What is more important than the post itself, is the comment section, you have to check out that! And of course, if you didn't reply to that question, I would encourage you to do so...
One of the latest comments was by 
"What a question to ask after a bear market though, guys, lol!"
That was a trigger for me to write this post... While he is 100% right that it's maybe not an "adequate question" to ask for at the end of the long bear market, on the other side, why not ask? You know that old thing with EXCUSES... Use every possible situation to blame your failure...
While Adrian didn't say that, it is obvious that many projects have suffered a lot from the last bear market and many didn't "survive" it... Don't want to brag, but everyone who has been in crypto for more than 1 cycle, knows that... That has to happen... It always happens...
On the other side, can we blame it all on the bear market? Some of the projects that were mentioned in the comments died at the beginning of the bear market... They didn't even taste the real pain... But, why???
In my opinion, the answer is in the title of this post... We have many talented programmers, and coders on HIVE and they can create some super-useful tools, dapps, scripts, etc. But, in most of the cases, many of those failed projects were "one-man-show" projects... Where, 1 person would do EVERYTHING, from designing the page, through coding, marketing, tokenomics, promotion, etc. That is possible and it can succeed, but very, very rarely... I would say in a lottery-win percentage...
However you look, you always conclude that you should do what you know to do the best! I remember numerous examples from my life where I had to do things that were important for my father, where he would spare, for example, $10... At the same time, I would lose double that on expenses + lost time when I could be a lot more productive (doing "my stuff")...
The same goes for our failed projects... If I know how to code, and then I jump to design a logo, I lose my precious time in LEARNING the other skill and I will never be as good as in my primary skill, or as some other professional... In the end, my design sucks and my code has bugs as I didn't spend enough time checking it throughout...
That's just one example, but there are more like this... Nobody is perfect, but sometimes you have people who are "pretending" to be more valuable than they are... You contract them, they don't deliver what they had to, and you waste precious time searching for replacement... Which can be the same as the first one... This sounds like a rare case, but believe me, that happens more often than expected...
Forming a team is a tough job... I know that very well as I'm trying to find people for our Liotes project all the time, but either I'm picky, or people are not interested in going into the blockchain adventure... But, creating a quality team, and having a project leader(s) is the only way how you can create a quality product/project that can last... As soon as we realize that we CAN'T do it all alone, we will have long-lasting, quality products that will add value to our lives and the lives of other Hivians...
Now, I would like to expand on the question that we asked in Liotes and ask you...
What do you think, what was the reason that those projects have failed?
Thank you for your time,
