If we are talking about having something like an innovative new token, then yeah it makes sense to have a good investment on something that is leading the development. But the problem is that a million copycats will follow it and that's the problem. You need to find the best one in that new development thing, not always the first one because while sometimes first ones are liked and invested and goes high, the really high ones are the best ones that come a little later. For example uniswap wasn't the first, but it was the best so it got super high, figuring that out is very hard, you should focus on that.
