How do you find new projects?

Reddit feels weirdly quiet these days — not in terms of volume, but in quality. Same projects circulating, same style of posts, and very little that feels genuinely insightful or community-driven. It’s like we’re all watching the same show on repeat, but no one’s really saying anything new. So I wanted to ask: how do you actually discover new projects worth investing in? What filters or signals do you personally trust to separate something real from the usual noise?

Are there certain traits, community behaviours, founder actions, or timelines that give you confidence? Do you have specific tools, Twitter/X accounts, Discords, subreddits, KOLs, newsletters, or YouTubers you rely on for alpha? I’m open to it all.

It honestly feels like crypto is becoming more sterile by the day — manufactured hype, lazy engagement, and closed circles. If there’s going to be any revival, it has to come from spotlighting the real ones. So let’s crowdsource this — drop your methods, sources, and secrets in the comments 👇
