Am I investing before or after the bubble?

Is there more people entering the market vs leaving?

Are there innovative features being developed for the coin to bring in new investors?

Who is the target audience? Big money, small money?

Are merchants adopting this coin?

Will the infastructure continue to grow?

Congrats on your investment, but always remember, past performance is not a indicator for future results. Some things to consider when investing in cryptocurrencies.If you paid for your altcoin in bitcoin, and looking at doge/btc to determine profits, your making a bet that the market cap of the altcoin, will grow more rapidly than the bitcoin market cap, in terms of percentage growth over a period of time. If the coin is brand new, and the userbase is rapidly growing, your bound to make money.Bitcoin bubbles on average once every 6 months or so. Litecoin is about the same. Typically, the price will slowly go down after the bubble, and will rise again once the new bubble starts. And this is if the coin hasn't hit its peak potential.Congrats on investing in cryptocurrency. Investing in trending coins is a good method if you play it right, but get in before or during the trend to be safe. Timing your entry and exit is the most important factors.By the way: Check out Counterparty (Symbol:XCP). Its a new platform/coin that the investment period just ended. It has its own inbuilt distributed exchange, with no counterparty risk. It also just rose 700% in the past few days. It has a GUI client coming out on February 14, and it is yet to be listed on CoinMarketCap. And you can bet once it does, it will rise even more from the exposure. It competes with Mastercoin for the marketshare of decentralized stock market platforms in the cryptocurrency industry. It has all the features of MSC already working, while MSC has none working, with a market cap 3 times smaller than MSC. http://blockscan.com is the block explorer for XCP, and you can see all the assets created, and the distributed exchange orders there. I think this one shows alot of promise as well.
