Lately, I’ve been getting a bit overwhelmed with task platforms, and earning crypto is starting to feel more like going to work: check-ins, linking social media, interaction screenshots, then waiting for a rating… The witch rules layer upon layer, basically out of fear of being exploited, but in the end, those who take it seriously just seem to be clocking in for performance reviews.

Now I’m actually more interested in those “real things” on the chain—whether the TVL is being inflated, whether the cash flow is sustainable—otherwise, after completing a bunch of tasks, you realize the protocol itself has no vitality.

AI Agents and automated trading are also quite popular; some use them to push narratives, others to reduce interaction costs… But I’m more worried about permissions and signatures—once a wallet is authorized, it’s hard to sleep peacefully.

For now, I’d rather earn less than risk turning myself into a cog in the machine.
