Lately, social mining has become popular again, doing tasks, accumulating points, creating identity badges, and there are a bunch of people in the group acting like clocking in for work. I used to leverage trading until I was educated about it, so I’m afraid I might get hooked again: honestly, points aren’t money, at most they’re a lottery ticket, and the rules could change and wipe them out. Time is even more precious, so don’t empty your focus just for a badge.

What’s even funnier is that, in the group, people are sharing news about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various rumors about “de-anchoring,” which scare people into trembling hands; meanwhile, they’re also urging you to click hundreds of times to interact and earn points. Anyway, my current approach is very simple: set a limit, and stop once it’s reached; also consider the worst-case scenario for your positions, don’t let emotions force you to add more. It’s fine to play, but don’t treat yourself as free labor for the project.
