Recently, there's been a surge in social mining, points, and badge systems. I find it a bit exhausting to watch. To be honest, badges are not identity, but KPIs given by the platform. You spend your time for them, only to end up with a screenshot of "participated." I would rather focus my energy on real withdrawal orders, placing them in positions others dare not to, which feels great. If not, consider it tuition; at least the logic is clear.
Some people keep an eye on large on-chain transfers and hot/cold wallets of exchanges, shouting "smart money is here" whenever there's movement. I also watch, but I won't chase emotions. If you really want to play with points, set a limit: ten minutes a day. Miss it, and that's fine. Don't turn your life into a check-in routine. Anyway, I only accept the risks and pace I can handle.
