When looking at a new coin, I do a lot of research on the particular coin and all it has to offer me or the real world application. The more information, the better. If the coin has a lot of unrealistic ideas then I am more likely to be hesitant. When a project, such as Bitcoin Origin per say, has a lot of potential upside to it in terms of ambitious ideas but achievable aims such as a multi-fork or a severless Blockchain, then I am much more likely to invest in such a project. There has to be a balance in the amount of strengths and weaknesses. They have a large amount of potential at Bitcoin Origin if it goes well so keep an eye out for that and read up on their whitepaper
