As a newbie, I have little experience in choosing a promising altcoin and there must be some important thing that I don't know now in the process of choosing a altcoin. I want to stand on the shoulders of giants and I hope you can teach me something. Thank you.
to have the best coin that has so much potential will depend on your own research,
the fewer the number of maximum tokens the better.
whitepaper and roadmap is one of the best, altcoin with no roadmap is not good.
developer and CEO is one factor on this, the development will depend on their work.
future big exchange, a coin will have a big pump once the announcement has been made that the token will be listed on big exchanges like bittrex.
