Looting now really feels more and more like going to work—there are piles of scoring on the task platform, bot detection, and it’s basically like KPIs. In the past you could stay pretty laid-back, just click through, but now everyone’s scared of missing some step and getting deducted. It’s annoying. But honestly, this kind of mechanism also pushes people to be more precise and efficient. For someone like me who arbitrages, I actually think it creates some small opportunities—like cross-pool price spreads—brief but real. If you keep watching patiently, you can still get a bit of the “soup.”

Recently I’ve been seeing people argue pretty fiercely in the group over privacy coins and mixers. Some say compliance is a big trend, while others think decentralization shouldn’t be boxed in. As for me, I don’t think whether there are “boundaries” matters that much—the key is not to get yourself trapped. Anyway, I’m just going to revoke my authorization first, and then slowly review and recap my notes later.
