Recently, there’s been another wave of social mining, points, and identity badges, and it’s starting to make me feel a little tired… To be blunt, a lot of the time it’s not about using the product—it’s just like clocking in for work. As soon as the new L1/L2 launches its incentives, it pulls in TVL like crazy, and then the long-time users in the group start complaining about “mine-to-sell,” but honestly, I get it too—everyone’s been trained to only stare at those little points.

Right now, I’m treating it as patching my strategy: small tweaks are enough. If I can grab it on the side, I’ll take it; if I can’t, I won’t chase it. If I don’t have enough time, I just shut the task page down. When the market pulls back, you pick up seashells—that’s about patience, not building a wall of identity badges. Anyway, I’d rather have fewer identity badges and more sleep.
