I don't think that price growth could determine potentiality of coin. For me, I determine potential coin by uses. Its true few coins growth is good enough even there is no uses. But it's only temporary or by manipulated. But if you choose potential coin which have uses and team are too active to develop their platform then it might give you good returns on future.
So before invest on any existing coins you should determine which is potential coin and how it is. Don't just compare growth of price for alts.
What's your thoughts about it? Let's share knowledge and correct me if I am wrong.
That's true the potential of any coin is it's uses if it is a pump and dump coin it will eventually die, the value of the coin or token should be backed by the products and services associated with it, without it it will not generate support, we have so many duplicate coins in the market and this causes some coins to lose it's value.
