What verification, bro?
Yes, only choose a project with a realistic roadmap and goal. If we see the roadmap is hard to implement or likely fails to run, it is better to not join the project. There are too many projects with a nice goal but ended with an early fail because they make a sweet goal and not consider whether it is possible to implement or not. Or the team deliberately sets a sweet goal to scam people. They only focus on fundraising and collect the money at that stage. Then, once the fundraising or the initial sale phase is over, they will disappear soon.
