There have been so many posts on the forum suggesting that it is the right time to fill your bag, I quite agree but then, you need to fill your bag with caution. There are so many projects that are dead already but pretending to be alive using the bear season as an excuse for now. The team behind most of them are just looking for a way to dump on you trying to make you understand that they are working round the clock to develop the project, a project they have all the time to develop in the past but could not, now they want to develop, hmmm, what a way to full the people.
The bull run will surely expose all of them, trust me, some of them are smart enough to understand this and that is why they are trying every means to fool making unrealistic promises in order to dump on you.
My candid advice, before you invest in a project ask yourself;
1. What are the benefits of this project to the world and the future?
2. In the next 2 to 3 years, will the working product still be relevant?
3. Who is the targetted audience? Do the targetted audience really need this innovation?
People have been warned multiple times about not investing on random project. The ones that give out "mind blowing" ideas are actually the one that fail and are here just to scam the people. I mean they are all talk, and then those naive people fall for those "talks", and ends up investing in those projects without thinking twice. And, yeah, they start giving excuses about their work to earn more time to collect more money from people. Eventually they dump their tokens to make some extra and then scam their investors.
I wouldn't say assessing it through the ways you mentioned would actually work. I mean a team could propose a work with good use in the future, but if they are here to scam, then no one can stop them. They will give those ideas, take money form people and run away.
