Why was the project I supported later untagged?

Initially, I was attracted to this project for a few reasons: the product was indeed polished and ran smoothly on the testnet; the community engagement was quite strong, with obvious growth momentum; and the area they focused on was also my area of interest—the on-chain collectibles ecosystem.

But over time, some of the project's decisions started to seem strange. It's not a technical issue with the product, but rather strategic choices and community management. Every new move made me feel their direction was becoming more ambiguous. Honestly, some of the key decisions have diverged from my initial judgment of the project.

This made me rethink—supporting a project isn't just about technology and early performance, but also about how they make decisions at critical moments. When the founder's ideas and community expectations start to diverge, that initial glow diminishes. In the end, I decided to withdraw my support because I believe that trust is more important than the product itself.

Really, the feeling of a failed project is the most uncomfortable... The technical aspects in the early stages were indeed solid, and the community enthusiasm was there, but the strategic level was a complete mess. The founder's ideas don't align with us players at all. Once trust is broken, it's very hard to put it back together. This guy is right. The project team really needs to reflect and reconsider. Not all HODLers can stick around and ride with you forever.
