I have half trust on projects from newbies because they have different aims, most of them are complete time wasters while some are scammers finding who to prey on, but few new projects still deserves our time, you can't actually know what new projects have in store unless you check them out first.
Can you explain how you half-trust the project? You only buy one thousand tokens, although you usually buy two. Or do you not calm down and continue to monitor the project even if you decided that you can half trust it? I either trust the project or I don't. And I can't figure out how it can be done half-way.
