Lately I've come across a bunch of social mining, points, and badge tasks, basically trading time for uncertain airdrop expectations. It's not that you can't do it, but don't drain all your daily attention, or you'll end up with just a bunch of identity tags and your wallet won't really change... I'm now more concerned about those "watermarks" on the chain—whether funds are layered in, whether the chips are quietly changing hands—it's more reassuring than just looking at the points panel.
The staking/sharing security system also feels like an amplifier for points; I understand the criticism of the "nested" returns stacking, and the more they stack, the more I feel the risk is stacking too—it's just that many people only focus on the numbers. Anyway, I've set a personal limit: do what I can easily do, and don't let it affect my life. What I don't regret is... not going all-in on certain badges before, which saved me many late nights, and my mindset is actually more stable.
