Last night, I saw someone using "ETF capital flow + US stock risk appetite" to explain today's rise and fall.

I found it a bit funny but also a little anxious: macro strategies are too broad, and for small investors, honestly, it's just about peace of mind.

I'm a bit more down-to-earth; if I really want to judge whether a project is "reliable," I look at three things first:
Does the GitHub have continuous updates (not just a one-time star boost, but regular changes and reviews that show real work)?
Don't just look at the logo in the audit report; focus on the scope/coverage and whether any high-risk issues haven't been fixed.
And check the multi-signature upgrades—how many people, are they decentralized, is there a timelock, at least prevent one person from slipping up in the middle of the night and changing the contract.
It doesn't guarantee safety, but it can turn "blind faith" into "somewhat evidence-based trust."

Anyway, I now prefer to go slower, eat fewer fluctuations, and not jump in based on trending hype... for now, that's it.
