Lately I really can’t take it anymore—scrolling task platforms just doesn’t feel doable. I clearly came to “scoop up a little something,” but instead every day it’s daily check-in, retweeting, joining groups to clock in, and filling out form verification—like I’m doing KPI at my desk. What’s even more annoying is that whole witch/score routine: if you don’t do it, you’re afraid you won’t get any points; but if you do too much, you’re afraid of being judged as “too much like a witch.” In short, it’s like you have to work hard to prove you’re human, while also having to act like you’re not trying that hard…

Now I still feel tempted when I see high APY, but I go check the sources of the funds and the contract permissions first—otherwise, one round of a pullback feels worse than having wages docked at work. In those days when the funding rate is extreme, the group argues about whether to reverse or keep squeezing the bubble, but people just keep inflating it. I just stare at the task list and my positions, spacing out: am I actually doing research, or am I just giving myself something to deal with? Then I look again
