realistically it takes time for any project to excel and yes good and committed team that actually want to deliver and if this team really stick to their promise i believe everyone both the investor and the project team with have a good future
It takes not only time but also the team to work, make updates in the project and promote it in the market, as for me this is the key to success
Properly selected exchanges also decide a lot for the initial price of the token, as people start trading there, if they see that the token is standing still, they understand that there is no point in investing there
Of course it is very important which exchanges will be selected by the team to start. If the majority of exchanges will be with a free listing, then you should not wait for a rush around the coin. you need to go where there are many traders and investors - this is usually top-level exchanges.
