Lately, social mining/points have become competitive again, with everyone in the group showing off badges and identities every day. Basically, it's just trading time for a label that looks like you've been around for a long time. I've been watching the mempool for a while and have become somewhat immune: whenever there's a large transfer on-chain or activity from exchange hot and cold wallets, someone immediately interprets it as smart money hinting at something... but most of the time, it's just accumulation/risk control/arbitrage, so don't overthink it.
My simple trick to prevent impulsive trades: when I see "abnormal activity + hype," I first close the transaction page, then check what the on-chain activity actually is—whether there's obvious batch operation signs; then wait two or three blocks, and the mood will cool down. I also earn points, but I set an alarm for myself—if it takes too long, I stop. Anyway, badges can't be eaten, and the biggest loss is when you accidentally empty your account mentality. That's it for now.
