How do you define popular crypto?

[Ed1973]

By allocation?
By roadmap?
By whitepaper?
By trustworthy team members?
it could be the respect earned during the ICO stage until now the consistency of the team, implementation of the roadmap, and stage by stage progress done accordingly that attracted a lot of investors to support the existence of the product in the market actively.

The community is also another important thing. As an example of s such community could be mobileGO project. They have a token MGO. It is a smart token for the gaming industry.

It's an interesting question. I once read (probably on the CoinDeal) that cryptocurrency has to convince his assumptions. If there are good assumptions and some cryptocurrency was looked profitably - it will interest people.  People has a big role. If there are a lot of people around, then something must be in some cryptocurrency.

Basically, people defined the popular crypto because they are the only one who can manage(manipulate/circulate/test) how strong the community are despite of schemes, hypes, and whatever serious accusations. Crypto is crypto. No people no crypto. When there is crypto, there are people behind.

Altcoins are the various alternative cryptocurrencies that were launched after the massive success achieved by Bitcoin. Literally, the term means alternative coins - that is – other than bitcoins. They were launched as enhanced substitutes of bitcoin with the claims to overcome some or the other pain points of bitcoin.

I define a popular crypto to see its roadmaps and there defining feature . secondly to see there there communication system and there mission and vission .

I look at Coinmarketcap. MGO is my favorite and it took the 75th position yesterday.

I basically define popular crypto based on marketcap. The bigger the marketcap, the more popular the coin will be. And if they are always on public medias and different news. If they have a disruptive idea and technology developing for.

It is safe to base your strategy on marketcap. Most likely the bigger the market cap the more it is popular and slowly getting attraction to be embrace by the investors. Then at the right time the particular coin is belong in the top 100 or top 10 depends on the hard works and effective strategies.

Everything will affect the potential of a crypto in the future because when they tell stories openly and details that will be able to attract investors who will make many people come to invest.

I look at the community of the project and the number of transactions

[Yemzol]

It is not matter of the team not the size of the community , but it is determined by numbers of people trading it and real life application is meant to solve , for instance some coins have no ICO and small community but doing very well on exchange , typical example is veil privacy coin , while some have large community but doing woefully

[Eben]

I believe any coin with large community because it has gained the confidence of people and is actively being traded is a popular coin.

[Stuart]

On my own opinion, I'll say that a popular coin is one that has gained the trust of its users and has lots of backers. Coins like ETH, BTC are two standard coins of the crypto market, and are well trusted. Therefore, if a new project is coming up, it needs to pass all you've listed and execute them one after the other, then its trust will start growing as the time goes on.
