You can't establish yourself with promises. Promises are worthless and are often not kept. If I say that I promise to pay everyone a million dollars, can I be said to have established myself on the forum as a very generous user? Hardly. As long as the project has not done anything of what it promised, it has no references. Only investors' hopes that it will happen at some point.

You know, promises, they're more than just words, they're like the first step on the path to making dreams come true. Sure, promises might sometimes seem a bit empty, but they also have this incredible power to inspire and drive change.

Some of the greatest journeys in history, they all started with a simple promise. And, when you back up those promises with hard work and dedication, you can turn the impossible into reality. Belief and hope, they're like the fuel that powers the engine of greatness

As long as promises are not backed up by an end result, then they are just pretty words. Don't try to give words that can be freely written anywhere and by anyone as any special value. In investing, words and promises mean nothing as it's all ephemeral. For a project to be in the status of a proven track record, there needs to be some events that happen, not just a set of promises.

Promises are backed up by results, not by the process of fulfillment itself. For example, I promise to pay you a million dollars and start paying you $1 every hour. After 5 days I stop paying you, I haven't fully fulfilled the promise, but I did something, I tried. Can this be considered proof of promise fulfillment and hard work?

When a project's just startin' out, they might not have a pile of cash sittin' around. Sometimes, you need time and resources to make things happen. That's why project teams sometimes make promises – it's a way to bring in the dough they need to eventually deliver them real results.

Now, if the project already had a boatload of cash, sure, actions would be more important than promises. But when you're workin' with a tight budget upfront, promises can be a way to rustle up the greenbacks for future growth and real results.
