Recently, social mining/points have become popular again.
I see everyone rushing to complete tasks, click likes, and hang a badge, basically using time to gamble on a "possibly redeemable" coupon.
You ask me if it's worth it? I just want to ask first: you haven't even understood the basics, and you're already treating yourself as free risk control and free traffic for the project...
What's even more outrageous is that on the blockchain, when you see a large transfer or a hot/cold wallet movement on an exchange, someone immediately interprets it as "smart money positioning," then rushes to complete tasks and earn points, like chasing after bus exhaust.
In reality, it's often just arbitrage/position adjustment/aggregation—don't outsource your emotions to a few transfers.
My mom asked me a few days ago: "Are your points like collecting stamps at the supermarket to exchange for a pot?"
I said... pretty much, but the pot isn't necessarily given, while the stamps are stamped every day.
Anyway, my approach is simple: minimize binding your identity, cut off tasks when possible, and leave time for proof and permissions related to understanding the bridge.
Don’t turn yourself into a robot just for a badge.
