I look at whether the project team is serious about their work, mainly focusing on two things: how the treasury funds are spent and whether the milestones are delivered on schedule. To put it simply, no matter how impressive the PPT is, if the treasury expenses are full of "consulting fees/market cooperation" and there's no movement on the blockchain, it's hard to believe. Conversely, for tangible expenses like version updates, audit reports, and bug bounties, even if progress is slow, I can accept it.

Recently, cross-chain bridges have been hacked again, and oracle errors have everyone saying "waiting for confirmation." I actually understand that... but it also shows that at critical moments, whether they can withstand the pressure depends on whether they spend money on security or on trending topics.

As for how I avoid impulsive trading: I first move my hand away from the buy/sell button, check the funding rates and liquidation zones, and casually review the project's treasury flow and multi-signature records. If 5 minutes of cooling-off isn't enough, I wait 30 minutes. When I want to gamble, I first turn off leverage. I can be stubborn with words, but I won't be reckless with my hands.
