I'm now checking whether a project is reliable or not, and I don't even look at the K-line first. I start by browsing GitHub and audit reports... Actually, "browsing" just means looking at a few points: whether the code is maintained long-term, whether the commit history isn't hot and cold; an audit isn't just "having one," you need to see if high-risk issues are really fixed, and not just leaving a note like "known risks accepted." As for upgrade permissions, who signs off, what's the threshold, can the logic be changed at any time, if it's written vaguely I just treat it as a red flag.
Recently, cross-chain bridges have had issues again, and I agree with the consensus of "waiting for confirmation" on oracle price fluctuations, which is like a "wait and see" approach—basically, money won't be affected until it actually enters the market. My anti-impulse habit is pretty old-fashioned: I want to place an order, so I first go back and review the permissions/upgrade page, wait half an hour, then come back and decide if I want to buy... most of the time I just give up.
