Most people judge by pump and dump variations and I honestly do not blame them... if you were in for the quick buck, it'll be the same. When however, you are more concerned about future prospects and profits that can be achieved by playing the long game, it's always better to go with your assessment - search for projects with viable use cases that have the potential to be adopted by the masses just like
this.That will be insane for someone to use pump and dump variation to judge the potentially of a coin when everyone and even newbies knows what usually becomes of this type of projects at the end. Most projects that are usually subject to his are manipulated by whales and most times classified as shitcoin.
The major thing that should guarantee potentiality of a coin is if the teams are real, hardworking and if they have a real life working project, then it will be certain that they have the potential to deliver and always remaining In the market without die off. These are the things that tell me how potential a coin will be.
