looking into the development team to see what they uniquely bring to the table is important, but many times coins shoot up in price randomly and it is hard to predict.

usually the more research that you can find on a currency, the better it will be

for example...my favorite cryptocurrency is nexus, there are very succesfull people including former partners of elon musk involved with that project. They plan on shooting sattelites into space and creating an internet and blockchain that is independent of government

but i had to research them a bit to realize that the people behind the project were trustworthy and capable, and that they were bringing something unique to the table

on potcoin vs dopecoin it might be a good idea to put small amounts in both and see what happens..if u can afford it
