My logic for selecting coins in the DeFi space

First, I prefer fully circulating tokens—ideally with a high degree of control (controlled float).
Second, the business is growing, and the token has a buyback-and-burn mechanism that drives deflation.
Third, either the price has fallen enough, or it has been moving sideways for long enough.
Fourth, which direction in DeFi has potential, and what position the project is in.
Fourth, the team is executing according to the roadmap, and they’re still working during the bear market.
Fifth, whether the backing resources are strong enough, and whether future market allocations are sufficient.
