I find it very difficult to keep seeing the bigger picture when there are so many new projects. For instance the airdrop and ico branch. Overwhelming! Is this also a problem for my fellow crypto enthousiastics?
It is simply physically impossible to track all of the new altcoins that keep appearing. You would need to hire an entire team to keep studying new altcoins and filtering the bullshit from the good projects which unfortunately are very few. If you try to do it by yourself, you will see that there are not enough hours in the day.
So many shitcoins out there only make it more obvious that bitcoin is the king.
There are currently 3,812 different publicly traded stocks in the US alone. You don't have to research and keep track of every single one of them to invest in the stock market. The same goes for altcoins--there's no need for most people to keep track of
every last new altcoin that comes out. I would suggest picking a few sectors that you are knowledgeable about or interested in and stick with those. The good projects that fall into an area of interest will probably stand out to you and be good candidates for further research.
How are you not going to need to invest your time researching as many tokens as possible to find a good one? the more time you spend researching new projects the higher chances you have at finding a hidden gem that may (or not) go x100 on your initial investment. There is no easy way out. If someone comes up with an amazing project it's going to remain hidden for a long time until the rest of people catch up simply because there are tons of altcoins out there, so you must put in the work to research ideally every single one that comes out, but since you can't, do what you can.
