I used to be pretty fond of staring at all kinds of points dashboards, afraid of missing a day’s tasks. Later I realized that a lot of “identities/badges” are basically just spending your time to hit KPIs… Now I’m more willing to treat them like Easter eggs: you can do a bit of interaction along the way, but don’t drain your sleep and emotions just for an icon.

Lately, the whole re-staking and shared security thing has been getting loud again—layered rewards on top of layered rewards, looking like nested dolls, and the risks follow suit, too. Even if I’m up at midnight and I see abnormal transfers on-chain, I’ll still instantly get alert: if you can earn slowly by riding interest-rate differences, don’t force it through anxiety just to rack up points. In any case, I’ll put withdrawable and stop-loss options first. As for badges and the like, I’ll just go with the flow.
