Lately, mining feels a lot like clocking in for work... A bunch of steps on the task platform, signing in today, linking accounts tomorrow, then coming back the day after for on-chain interactions, and finally checking the scores, just like performance reviews. The witch thing is also pretty tangled; honestly, I’m afraid of getting mistakenly hurt, so I just split the wallet and pace myself, but it ends up feeling more like filling out a risk control spreadsheet.

What’s more annoying are the messages about deposits and withdrawals—tax hikes, compliance tightening or loosening. As soon as they come out, I start imagining “Will it get more complicated in the future?” My hands tremble, and I dare not make a move. I can’t keep my positions full, and I get pressured by the platform to speed up, so my anxiety hits the max.

A couple of days ago, I followed an account that shares mining strategies; it seemed pretty reassuring. But the more I watched, the more it looked like KPI motivation talk, and I suddenly unfollowed... Anyway, this reverse indicator of mine, I’d better say a few words to keep it as a talisman first.
