Nice criteria in all fairness, but actually that's the usual thingd need to see first before investing in a project. But you know what, these things will be pointless if the project you choose did not create so much hype. So try to put in your considerations the influence that coin generated. Pick the trending and most discussed as much as possible.

But in order to be safe, choose old coins and you're good to go. That's why I agree that you also choose ltc, chainlink and btc .
