When I started in crypto I was always looking for the best technology. Speed, volume, security of transactions and functionality of Smart Contracts....but I learnt that the value of a crypto depends on it's network effect. A great technical crypto with no users has no value, whereas a shit technical crypto with lots of users has a lot of value.

Just look at Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and countless others from the last bull run. A good meme coin can attract a lot of ignorant speculators and crypto bros.
