Interesting read, I think you hit the nail right on the head with your last statement, it's important to look into what need a coin is going to be fulfilling before investing in it. Is there a need? If not, maybe you should re-evaluate your choice. I haven't been following crypto for that long but I try to research any of the coins I choose to invest in.

I think that's the ticket right there, do your own research, and don't just jump on the hype train blindly, maybe the time for easy money has passed in this space as well.
