Recently, there has been a flood of "points," "identity," and "badges," feeling like collecting cards as a kid, but now it's about time and attention. To put it simply, social mining isn't about making you spend money; it's about keeping you online and interacting constantly, only to find that you're chasing a progress bar, not a work of art or a person.

I see NFTs the same way; storytelling and community atmosphere are more important to me. Too many projects turn "identity" into KPIs, which ends up squeezing out aesthetic appeal. When I see people taking large transfers on-chain or unusual movements in exchange hot and cold wallets as signals of "smart money," I get tempted too. But then I think, moving bricks doesn't mean I should work overtime... I should first keep my own rhythm. Occasionally flipping through old series and quietly picking up what I like is much more comfortable than constantly chasing tasks.
