i am sorry to disappoint you but what you seek is not found in altcoins.

the only thing you will ever find in altcoins, is pump and dumps so it is best if you try to adapt to those or don't enter the market at all.
and by adapt i mean, invest before the pump and sell those coins short term after they got pumped a bit and gave you the profit you want.

- Good tech
- Inovative & Useful Features
- Strong future prospects
- Solid team
- Regular social media presence
- Higher marketcap (or potential marketcap)
- anything else?

none of these matter.
the only thing matters is how many whales and manipulators that altcoin has. if it has lots of rich whales (Ethereum for example) you an be sure of the pump and a big profit.
and if the pumpers and whales don't pay attention to a coin, no matter how much innovation it has, it will never go up.

Yup that is true. But what you are saying about whales and manipulators is about altcoins being traded. What he is asking is about if there is an altcoin that can be hold for long term that will increase its value overtime. So in short the altcoin he is looking for is not meant for trading but for investing.
