Morning mate. I absolutely agree with you and this is also the strategy I follow. What is important as well - innovations, milestones and working product. At least for me. By the way, talking about you, are there many solutions you follow these days? How are you usually discovering new ones?
Nope, I cannot say that there are many, only 2 or 3 most advanced ones. And my latest way of discovery - exchanges. For example, have you heard of Binance Community Listing Program? The main point here is letting community to choose the most promising and in demand tokens from Binance DEX (of course, they must suit requirements, like trading volume etc) that will be listed on Binance
