Recently, there has been a flood of "points/badges/identity" topics again, essentially social mining with a new coat: you use time as fuel, projects take popularity as oxygen.
Now, when I see a task list, I pause first, take a quick look on the chain to see who's pushing, whether wallets are all following the same rhythm, and avoid being led by a sense of "identity."
And those on-chain data tools and tag systems shouldn't be overly trusted; whether they're lagging or misleading, once a tag is applied, people tend to automatically fill in the story.
My approach is more like making a "backup": not going all-in on the main account, leaving some energy for life, keeping one on the chain for verification, and saving some emotions for venting... Badges are really not worth clearing out your entire self for.
