Where do you find a good project, and what are your criteria for judging the project?
Listing in a reputable exchange is always a good sign.
road map and white paper give at first glance an idea.
then it's most important evaluate the real usage and not just the hype behind a project.
It's very hard find interesting project. Some have "exploded" after years despite free distribution, others like most of 2017-2018 ICO are just waste of money despite the idea behind was not totally bad.
