These days, I’ve been driven by social mining points again, grinding tasks until I start to doubt my life. Honestly, badges are just a “I’ve been here” sticker; don’t waste your time just for them… I’ve now set a rule for myself: a maximum of 20 minutes a day, and the rest of the time I’ll draw pixel kittens, at least I can produce something tangible.

I thought that increased taxes or tighter compliance in a certain region would only affect big players’ deposits and withdrawals, but the first to panic were small investors like me: once my expectations changed, I started clicking confirm randomly. Anyway, the hype comes and goes quickly; I just translate the hype into position size, and don’t mistake myself for a laborer. That’s it for now.
