Lately, “social mining + points + identity badges” is becoming popular again. In plain terms, it turns the time you spend tweeting, joining groups, and forwarding into KPIs. I’m not against farming it, but don’t let yourself be led around by badges—at the end of the day, what you gain is screenshots, and what you lose is energy and attention.
My current rule for myself is pretty blunt: every day, I spend at most a fixed amount of time on these tasks—if I go over, I treat it as if probability isn’t on my side and I just stop. Especially when I see everyone staring at token unlock calendars and fixating on that little bit of sell-pressure anxiety around staking unlocks, I’m even less willing to treat “possible airdrops” as certain income… The outcome is never fate; it’s probability. Don’t bet your whole life on a low-probability event. For now, that’s it.
