you'd better be sure to know the team is capable of doing its job otherwise it will still be a massive failure when get in early to the token development and then later on becomes a scam.
this is important thing to know, there are many old token that still exists that doesn't gain any significant increase in their price whatsoever, simply because the team themselves
failed to deliver what they promised, or at least failed to stick with the roadmap they are trying to follow, there are so many teams like that and as a result their project tanked.
old token being old doesn't mean they are reliable they could just be an abandoned relic or remnant of the past.
basically created for the sake of riding hypes around previous bullrun, gaining its momentum to reach its all time high and then vanish into thin air later on.
i personally favour newer coin better, because usually the team are more committed even more so if the project is having so many community in the discord it means many other people also believe the project could succeeds.
