Someone asked me whether I should go all out on social mining, points, and badges now. To be honest, I’ve also been conflicted—after all, it’s pretty tempting to show off your “identity” like others do. But I later realized that the most expensive thing isn’t gas fees, it’s time: daily check-ins, retweets, joining groups to boost presence, and in the end, it feels like going to work, and you might not even get anything out of it.

My current approach is very straightforward: do whatever is easy and convenient; I skip the ones that require setting alarms. Anyway, I place my trades as casually as ordering takeout, admit mistakes when I make them, and I don’t want to empty my life just for a badge.

Also, recently hardware wallets have been out of stock, and phishing links are everywhere. At this point, I definitely won’t click on random “points collection” links… No way. I’d rather earn fewer points and live longer. That’s all for now.
