I would love to see some benchmark metrics for cryptos across the board. Technical indicators that can cut through the noise and help identify the coins with a firm foundation and solid business case, vs the highly speculative coins that only have value because of the hype.
Some metrics off the top of my head:
Trading Volumes
1.1 volume - person to person
1.2 volume - person to business
1.3 volume - business to business
(Along with average transaction size/value)Regional activity maps - globally. Where are the users? Is it truly global?
Development team statistics, including soft forks and code update history.
Any thoughts?
Volume is very important for me as well. In case a coin is just traded with a few thousands a day it can be pumped and dumped so easily while one trading in the millions can be considered a safer asset, at least whatever we might consider as safe in cryptos :D
