Now too many projects nowadays make it easier for us to put money in, but what I usually do is invest in new projects with a large number of social media followers, if it's on a telegram or discord group then we can know whether the discussion is natural or just settings.
followers number didnt be main factor when we invest our money , all of know we could get alot follower by bought from someone and also most of them could only bot. there are another important that we need to analize from new project such as utility that will build, dev team background and experience, tokenomic and many others.
