Metrics are fun to look at and great for a prospectus. I've listened to a lot of day traders in crypto who said bitcoin is like an index. I tend to disagree with that notion, as most of these currencies run on different platforms with different end goals.

I think its important to get the numbers , but Warren Buffet himself said he invests in things he understands... Granted he was wrong about bitcoin, but hey we all make mistakes. I think It would be important to add what each coins goal and history, not just a promise to make more money ! These are also important to investors when choosing where to put their money.
