Today my phone popped up a red dot again: some task +30 points, limited-time badge... I stared at it for ten seconds, feeling like a trained pigeon. Honestly, points are pretty good at manipulating people; even though the benefits are uncertain, I keep thinking, "Just one more and I’ll be done." As a result, time gets wasted, and trading becomes more emotional, which is really costly.

Recently, hardware wallets are out of stock everywhere, phishing links are flying all over, people’s security awareness has increased a bit, but don’t get pushed around by pop-ups like “bind your identity / claim airdrops.” My current approach is twofold: don’t fill out forms if I don’t have to, don’t connect wallets if I don’t need to, and just accept missing out... Anyway, the best single books are pretty boring anyway. That’s it for now.
