My judgment criteria has changed quite a bit since then.

What is most important in determining a cryptocurrency's value?

You may only select up to 10 options.

Feel free to make suggestions on things I should add to the poll!

You have got covered up almost every dam option on the earth. However I’ll stick to the few of them which I think are really important for ultimate fate of the coin value. The first one I think is obviously the decentralised make over of the coin. This is because centralised coins are bad in manipulation and it can be seen from the Ripple coin itself. Though I like this coin but the thing is it’s not moving at all due to controlling bosses.

The second one is project idea and team behind the project. Whether this is completely new idea or is it just the copy of something old, this must be known before we can invest into it. After that we have the team, they should be experienced personnel of the real businesses. If we find that there are just teens around the project playing like anything then it’s pribsbly going down.

Rest is also true from you list. However fork is only stuff related to bitcoin I believe.

I believe on the same, he listed a lot of things and most of them are useless determining the value of the altcoin.

I really think that the ONLY thing that will create the value of an altcoin is the real MARKETING that the project is going to apply.

Maybe if no one knew bitcoin, it could be worth $0 right now, and if ethereum could have the hype that bitcoin had at the begining (if bitcoin was not discovered because of lack of marketing) It would be the "real" bitcoin of nowadays.

Everything is about the promotion, maybe a shitty project could become the Project of the year only because it had a succesfull marketing campaign.

but most dev's fail in this part, because it needs a lot of money to create a good campaign.

Most points from your list could be shorted. You can make the hype index that will include the everage rating of most of your list and will determine everything about the coin that is not covering its "original" usage.

You should have voted for Network Effect. Marketing is part of a Network Effect's effect.

And I disagree with the bolded. I believe the speculative value of a cryptocurrency is derived from a combination of all the poll options.

I like your short list of most important factors, and I agree that the things you mentioned are important.

But I prefer to analyze deeper than simply a few factors because doing the research to learn about each and every factor can lead you to change your opinions on such.

It seems to me that the most important thing in cryptocurrency is its functionality and community of a coin.

Great thread for the people who is really looking to invest on altcoins. They understand that what are all the topics they have to go through before they want to invest on altcoin even for ICO also it will be good options to check in their road map and white paper.
I have chosen the security concerns and decentralization is major of mine before go with the any altcoins because we have a complete control on it.

as developer works with the decision as delivering service to public audience, investor might gains as evaluating use with the manage as best to recalling shifts with the gradual stages of differences as referring decision to put of investment with the buying of coins from the ico or exchange.

In reality I suppose all the things that you have enumerated in this list are important and must be taken into account. However, as for me, the most important moments here are decentralization and anonymity.
