I’ve recently been checking whether the project is really doing things seriously. Instead of constantly watching the chart, I’ve been digging into how the treasury is spent and whether the milestones are actually keeping pace. It’s not that spending less money is automatically good—the key is whether the money spent results in “things that can be reused”: code iterations, audits, documentation, and incentives that shift from just “throwing coins around” to guiding behavior… These details are hard to fake. What I fear most is the kind where milestones are always “next month,” the treasury has a pile of vague line items, and when the community asks, they just act like they didn’t hear—totally ignore the questions.

Now, attention moves too fast. Memes and celebrity calls come in wave after wave, and newcomers are very easy to get swept up by the excitement. In other words, the probability of ending up as the person who takes the last step is pretty high. Personally, I’d rather go slower: once I see the project spending money the way a long-term business would, then I’ll consider breathing life back into my position. If I end up getting sprained in the process, that’s just how it goes.
