Recently, I came across a bunch of social mining, points, badges, and the like, basically using your attention as fuel. Badges are like gym check-in stamps; sticking them on the wall doesn't mean you've actually built muscle. What I care more about now is whether "identity" can actually translate into long-term permissions/fees/governance positions, or if it's just a profile frame.
These days, everyone is complaining about miner/validator income, MEV, and unfair ordering. I also feel strongly: sometimes on the chain, it’s like cutting in line at a window—those who queue more seriously are more likely to get cut in front of by those behind... Anyway, my approach is to treat time as capital, set limits on social tasks, automate what I can, and skip what I can't—don't drain your rhythm just for a few points.
