I wonder What makes you trust a new cryptocurrency?
i always look at the team or the people behind the new cryptocurrency or token being introduced. I make sure that nobody is involved in any scam or questionable projects in the past. However, we have to admit it that it is virtually impossible to be 100% correct because anybody can do some shenanigans online and come up with a new name.
Aside from the team, I look at the concept and how viable it is plus the response made by the market at the early stage of the project or introductory stage. There is actually no perfect strategies to get to the bottom of the project so we also have to include hunch into the pie.
