After staying in the crypto world for a long time, I gradually realize a pattern—most people's disappointment with projects is not because of the ups and downs themselves.

What truly breaks the mindset is precisely the feeling that you carefully research before exiting, actively follow up during the holding period, but never receive any feedback. No progress from the builders, no one in operations, community issues ignored...

You clearly invest time and funds, but what you get in return is silence. Sometimes it's even more satisfying to just zero out.

That's why more and more people are now paying attention to project transparency and communication mechanisms. Not everyone is chasing tenfold coins; what everyone desires more is: as a holder, at least your voice can be heard.

It really hits home. The few projects I held before are just like this—like the team disappeared. This kind of silence is even more painful than a direct rug pull, at least you know what's going on. When choosing projects now, the first thing I look at is whether the founder is active, whether they take the community seriously, and transparency is really a key filter. Compared to ten-bagger coins, I’d rather have an active operation team that can communicate, haha.

Silence is more deadly than resetting to zero, really. I learned this lesson last year; constantly checking announcements is the same as having no announcements at all.

Silence is more deadly than a limit down. The moment liquidity disappears, I knew this project was finished. --- It's really just an information gap. Zero feedback from the team = the team is dead. Data can lie, but silence cannot. --- I seriously followed for 3 months and still couldn't get a single progress update. It's better to just go all-in and cut losses directly. --- Transparency mechanisms are indeed the key indicator for screening good projects, a hundred times more important than candlestick charts. --- The worst feeling is being ignored. I’d rather the project team honestly admit it’s a mess, but the cold treatment is what I fear most. --- If holders' voices go unanswered? That’s no longer an ecosystem, that’s a capital pool. --- Right now, I only look at two points: DEX liquidity depth and official update frequency. A sharp drop tells me there’s no hope this year.

I deeply understand. The feeling of being ignored is indeed more uncomfortable than losing money. Silence is the biggest killer. I've realized that instead of waiting for zero, it's better to find reliable people. This wave is really the common problem of most projects now. It's really hard to hear the voices. Compared to those who just draw pie charts every day, I'm more afraid of not even having the chance to communicate. Operational disconnection happens way too often.
