If a coin introduces a completely new technology that enables a different function and is sustainable in the long term, does it have the potential to be a worthwhile investment?
I'll check the capability of the creator and the developers, behind a great innovation are people who are capable of making this happens, I'll check the whitepaper and the roadmap, and if possible and I'm hoping that there is no crowdfunding involved, a completely new technology can easily get in on exchanges so there is no need of funding to get in on exchanges
so I can invest through exchanges, Many investors get frustrated when the coin they've invested fails to get on top exchanges.
I prefer to invest when the coin/token is already in exchange rather than crowdfunding because of my bad experiences with ICO where the price is very cheap when it is the market rather than on their ICO.
