If you judge a token by its use then look for one that is long-term and stable. If it's only used on their own platform, I don't think it's effective as a long-term investment. Exemplary projects are ehereum and BNB as coins with the best utility they can have many communities and trusts.
The use of token didn't guarantee how long the project can alive. I prefer to take anything. The main problems if people are taking one or two indicators to make sure if they have invested in the right project. All of indicators must be taken to make sure if you have not yet made wrong decision to invest in the token. Ethereum and binanve have real products and these are major coins. There's no need to mention caused by those obviously trusted coins.
