Playing with knockoffs, consider the following:
1. Is there funding involved? Is the capital consolidated?
2. What is the market cap? What is the circulating market cap? Is there room for growth?
3. Is there interest?
4. Is there potential?
The hottest recent event is the US elections. Coins related to the elections have generally surged (like maga doge, etc.), and people are still at relatively low levels, contributing to the interest. Puffer: 1 is community support, 2 is a low enough market cap, 3 is indeed a narrative coin with potential; although it's based on Ethereum, Ethereum is just weak, not dead yet.
