Yes, it's good to observe a coin before investing in it, plus the fact that this coin operates on the principle of ethereum to an extent. Already, ethereum is wobbling under its own weight.
This is true there is much nonsense and shit coin. Mists devs just give up or run. In the short term it makes money but it cause damage on the community and the coin much more then the Dev makes. So if the Dev does not run and will stay and his coin will grow he will have a better longtime investment. Will make more then short one. I think ICONOMI plans to be around for quite a time longer then most.
