Lately, I don't really believe in projects just because they "paint a beautiful roadmap." I prefer to look into how they spend their treasury, whether they meet their milestones on time. Honestly, if the money is spent on development, security, and community—things that may not look flashy but are practical—I can tolerate slower progress; but if they keep hyping up market hype every few days and spend a lot on "market collaborations" with little on-chain change, I start to get suspicious.

Recently, in the group, there’s been repeated sharing of screenshots about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various "de-pegging" warnings, which really easily stirs emotions... I now force myself to focus on the data: Are audits being conducted? Is reserve disclosure ongoing? How does the team respond when rumors arise? Panic is normal, but don’t let panic make your decisions.

What I don’t regret is maintaining layered positions and operating minimally; I’d rather miss out on some gains than sell my patience amid noise. Anyway, over time, diligent projects will show their true colors.
