Be careful of so called hidden gems. I have been in crypto since early 2014. I have seen many great coins come and go. I got involved as a team member in a coin called Helios Protocol which was a direct competitor to Ethereum. I know many so called Eth killers have come and gone. Helios did actually solve many of Eths problems but No one was interested in trying it. The developer worked on it for over 2 years solid and gave up his career to create it, yet not one person built a Ddap on it because they were only interested in Eth. So that Dev was forced to give up and shut it all down. Crypto is very tribal. People will follow the crowds and investors will attack perceived threats to their investments. So what i'm saying is that you may well have found a hidden gem but that gem will face a huge battle to become established. You can and will likely lose if you invest. People have known about Eths problems for a long time yet it still remains by far the biggest coin after Bitcoin.
