I'm now looking at whether the project is serious about work, rather than just checking how beautiful the roadmap is first.

First, I look into how the treasury is spent: money is used for meetings, taking photos, wildly posting "partnership announcements," and then I start to feel like withdrawing;
If I could see each payment matching deliveries, such as product updates, audits, community tools, or even unlocking budgets based on milestones (spending less if not achieved), at least it would feel like living day to day.

Recently, there's been a fuss about NFT royalties again, basically creators want to make a living, and traders want better liquidity...
I just want to see which team truly spends money on helping creators survive and making the secondary market less painful, rather than just taking a stand in words.
Anyway, I'm quite impulsive; I still get excited when I see something good, but I treat the treasury's reckless spending as a lesson learned.
