How to pick other promising altcoins
Today we are going to talk on how to pick promising coins.

There are many factors that can be used to pick on promising coins. Some of them are:
1 - Project analysis. Regarding this subject, we can say that, before jumping into a coin, its whitepaper should be analyzed and it must answer some questions such as: Does it really have a product? (Does it solve a really big problem or issue people have?), When was the ICO conducted? What whas the bounty program on the ICO?
2 - Is it listed on major exchanges, such as Kraken, Coinbase, Poloniex? (I personally trust a lot on Poloniex, because their analysis is really strict before listing a coin), Who are the people behind the project?
3- How old is the coin? This also afects its profitability, once the major coins take around 3 years to start having a strong evaluation in price.
4- What kind of proof does it have? POW? POS? POT?
5 - What kind of blockchain technology does it use? E.G: Graphene, etc?
6 - Which coin is it directly related to? If it is related directly to ETH, there's a good chance of being a good project (of course, if all the previous questions were able to be answered in a satisfatory way).
7 - What's the roadmap of the coin/token? Is it being followed, or does it have any delays on the project? And if so, why is the delay happening?
8 - Market's news. Some news on the market might affect directly (or indirectly the coin). It worths to be tuned to the market, and try to forecast possible problems upfront.
9 - Fees. Fees are usually strictly related to scalability problems, which is intimate related to the blockchain technology adopted in the project.
10 - Marketcap. What is the current marketcap? Is it growing in % of the global marketcap? This is also important, for it shows the financial sustainability of a coin.
Well, I guess those are the most important topics that should be answered when picking a coin. I hope I could help other, by expressing my point of view, and trying to stabilish a more criterious choice of the coins we can hold.
