What do novice investors need to look for in altcoins?

Understand the use case - if there is none and if it doesn't solve a problem, don't buy it. Check team credentials, development activity, tokenomics (supply, unlock schedules, using the token), community support, and if the project has some real-world use already. Don't invest in things that seem built on hype alone - with no development to back progress.#Altcoin101
