Newcomers want to see if a project is "reliable or not," but don't just focus on candlestick charts and who is shouting. First, check three things: whether anyone on GitHub is actually working recently (not just modifying a README to fool people), whether the audit report has clear conclusions and unresolved issues, and whether the permission upgrades are multi-signature and have high thresholds. Basically, this is about seeing "who can change rules or move funds with one click." For perpetual contracts, I look at liquidation hotspots and funding rates, but for spot/DeFi, I’m more concerned about permission black boxes. Recently, the attention shift caused by Meme and celebrity shoutouts has been too fast, and newcomers are most likely to catch the last wave... If you really want to get on board, at least treat these as your "backup": when subjective emotions fail, objective evidence can save your life. Anyway, I’d rather miss out than become a lesson.
