What is the right way to play a new project? Many people are confused about this question.

Honestly, if you haven't fully understood a project, investing a large amount of funds can be very risky. But avoiding it altogether isn't right either; missing out on one or two good opportunities can sometimes be more painful than losing money.

A feasible approach is this—start with a small amount to test the waters. Not to play around casually, but to invest only what you can afford to lose, and then truly observe. See who is in the community, whether they are genuinely working on the project or just bragging. Track the actual progress of the project and get a feel for the team's execution ability.

During this process, you can control the risk (limited trial-and-error costs) and won't regret too long for misjudgments. Sometimes, the biggest regret isn't losing money but not participating at all. When the trend is already established and you realize it, it might be too late to regret.

Therefore, small-scale building positions + in-depth community observation + tracking project progress—this combination is worth considering, especially at this stage.

Small-scale testing is indeed reliable; the key is to have patience and observe the community, and not be fooled by hype projects.

The small-scale trial and error approach is indeed reliable. The key is to find a team that actually gets things done, not just listen to boastful talk.

The small-scale trial-and-error theory sounds comfortable, but in practice, it's a different story and easy to get caught up in the hype. That's what they say, but I've seen too many stories of small amounts eventually turning into large amounts. The key is discipline; otherwise, even small amounts can be lost entirely.

The small-scale trial-and-error approach is indeed brilliant; the key is to genuinely check if the community members are serious.

I agree with the idea of small-scale trial and error, but the real test is whether you can resist adding to your position, haha.

Small-scale trial and error really has some substance; it's much better than doing nothing at all. --- It's the same small-scale position-building argument again. Why do I feel like I've heard it a hundred times? --- The key is who is speaking in the community. I don't believe a bunch of blowhards. --- To be honest, it's just betting on probabilities. Small amounts are just trying out the feel. --- Missing out on good projects is indeed quite painful, but losing money isn't comfortable either. --- You can tell a lot about execution just by looking at the code. Don't just listen to stories. --- Entering new projects at this point in time? I think we should wait a bit longer. --- Small amounts are fine, but I'm just worried I might accidentally go all-in again haha. --- I agree with community assessment—see if there are genuine builders. --- If you calculate the cost of trial and error this way, then even small amounts have to be lost.
