Recently, a whole wave of social mining and points-task posts has been flooding the screen—click here, click there, all for a badge and an “identity.” To be frank, it’s pretty much like putting your time on the line as if it were betting chips.

What I fear most isn’t losing money—it’s losing control. Once the first thing I do every morning becomes “what tasks are still left to do today,” people get pulled along and start being steered by it.

These past few days, the group has been going back and forth over stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and de-pegging rumors. The moment emotions flare up, everyone is even more likely to chase those “don’t miss out” points.

Anyway, my current approach is: if it allows one-click authorization, I won’t touch it. And for anything that requires constant check-ins—forget it. Just open the umbrella first; don’t drain your whole life for a hollow reputation.
