Now the absolute majority of coins are experiencing a grave crisis, even such powerful communities as monero or etherium, lose daily. Of course, new coins are even harder to develop. Against the backdrop of that dump, I don't see any failures: devs follow the roadmap, the support works, the blockchain works, the community is gradually growing.
Censorship? If haters starts to pour dirt on you, then perhaps you will close your door for them.
I invest, because I see in the devs a sense of purpose and potential, and I like the roadmap of this coin. And for me, there is a beatiful possibility to realize my own ideas, because the devs are always in active contact with the community.
Why do you think about investments? Do you want to earn a lot in the short term? No one can guarantee this to you. You either take some kind of development, or not. At your own risk. Now there are a lot of similar "investors" who want to immediately enrich themselves for their pennies. But it most likely will not be, in that case you'd better play in the casino.
