These days I’ve been seeing a bunch of social mining and points tasks again, clicking around all about "binding—sharing—checking in," I initially wanted to do them casually, but I found that just the authorization and cross-chain back-and-forths already eat up all my time… not to mention the emotional fluctuations from those bridge stalls and gas fee fluctuations. Honestly, whether I get a badge or not doesn’t matter much to someone like me who doesn’t like to show off.
What I care about more now is: can this "identity/points" be verified on the chain, are permissions getting bigger and bigger, and does each hop in the cross-chain bridge create another vulnerability? Recently, there’s been talk about some region increasing taxes and tightening regulations, then loosening them again, causing deposit and withdrawal expectations to shift. Many people become more anxious and want to "score points" for a sense of security, but the more anxious they get, the easier it is to treat risks as part of the task. Anyway, I’d rather take less than turn wallet authorizations into a lottery. That’s all for now.
