I look at whether the project is working seriously, but I don't really pay attention to what milestones they shout about; I prefer to check the treasury expenditures: where the money was spent, whether the frequency is stable, and if they are just allocating emergency funds "to stop the bleeding" whenever the community causes a fuss. Honestly, ongoing small expenses (audits, infrastructure, developer support) seem more like doing work than one-time big spending.

Recently, the cross-chain bridge was hacked again, and the oracle reported errors. Everyone is "waiting for confirmation," which I think is quite normal. If the project team is still eager to push new features and the treasury is still aggressively spending on marketing at this time, it feels a bit off; I would be more willing to wait until they address security budgets, emergency procedures, and transparency in reviews, and then see how the emotions settle.

I don't need to be understood; I just want to set this boundary: I am willing to be patient, but I won't pay for their bills with faith. That's all for now.
