Recently, I came across a bunch of social mining/points tasks, filling out forms, forwarding, checking in, joining groups and changing nicknames... Basically, it's using time to exchange for a "potentially useful" identity. When I see others showing off badges, I also feel envious, even a bit jealous: why can they be so diligent, while I just want to sleep until noon and then check the on-chain.
But what I care more about now is liquidity and slippage. When it really comes to using it, can you exchange it in one go, without being worn down painfully, which is more tangible than avatar frames. On the macro side, they’re talking about easing expectations, the dollar index, and risk assets fluctuating wildly together—when market sentiment is high, everyone is more easily led by "points = the future."
Anyway, I set a rule for myself: automate what can be automated, and forget what can't. Don’t drain your life just for a badge, or you'll end up with only a bunch of group messages and exhaustion.
