After I muted the group, I feel much more at peace, less of that impulse to glance over whenever someone calls out "attack" on me; as a result, I’m more willing to go through project details myself... Honestly, it’s to avoid being driven by emotions.

For a newbie assessing credibility, I currently focus on three things: Don’t just look at stars on GitHub, first check if there have been recent continuous commits, or if it’s just a bunch of "temporary fixes"; don’t be fooled by the logo in the audit report, directly search for "high-risk/critical issues" and see if there are clear fix explanations; when upgrading multi-signature, look at who the signers are, how many people can make decisions, and if there’s a time lock—otherwise, a simple "upgradable" means "can be changed at any time." Recently, people keep explaining crypto market rises and falls with ETF fund flows and US stock risk appetite, I also look at that, but the more I see, the more I think: macro is macro, contracts are contracts, and if the contract is poorly written, even a good macro can’t save it... Anyway, I now pause for two seconds before confirming.
