Recently, a bunch of "social mining/points/badges" have been flooding the feeds again, basically taking your time as fuel. Daily sign-ins, reposts, recruiting others—after all the hustle, you end up just changing a profile picture frame... I really can't stand it anymore. On-chain transaction fees can be calculated clearly, but these "invisible costs" are the easiest to deceive: attention + social credit + opportunity cost, all wrapped up in it.
And just as the main public chain is about to upgrade/maintain, the group starts guessing whether the project will migrate. I just want to say: don’t use "the ecosystem is migrating, so I need to boost my identity first" as an excuse. Whether the protocol migrates or not depends on settlement, fees, and security, not on how many badges you have. Anyway, I have one principle now: if you can verify with a one-time action, don’t rely on long-term check-ins. As for identity, don’t drain yourself and still think you’re investing.
