These days, I've been seeing a bunch of social mining, points, and identity badge gameplay, all explained as if it's an evolution system... I'm just someone sitting by the cross-chain bridge, and after seeing so much, I start to feel a bit sleepy. To put it plainly, many projects just use "you come check-in" as a moat, trading your time for a profile frame, and whether they airdrop or not depends on their mood in the end.

What's even more ridiculous is that now people interpret ETF capital flows, US stock risk appetite, and crypto price movements as if they're all tightly linked—sometimes saying "capital is flowing back, so it's bullish," other times "risk appetite has dropped, so it's going to crash," and emotions are swinging along with the candlestick charts. Anyway, I'm now very cautious about the idea that "points = future rights." If you can automate with scripts, don't use your brain; if you can reduce identity anxiety, do so; when a black swan really hits, badges won't be a life raft. That's all for now.
