So many people are grinding points, collecting badges, and constantly showing off how many “identity cards” they have. Honestly, I’m a bit tempted too, but once I think about having to spend my time on interactions, check-ins, and tasks, it just feels exhausting. Social mining, in the end, is all about attention arbitrage—what you invest in time may only end up buying you emotional ups and downs.

It feels like lately the meme cycles and celebrity trading-call rotations are speeding up more and more. Even veteran players keep advising newcomers not to jump in at the very end of the last wave, but somehow there’s always someone who thinks, “This time is different.” Anyway, I don’t really dare to follow—I’d rather just stare at the miners’ revenue chart. At least that’s real computing power.

No matter how many badges you have, it’s still not as good as keeping your own wallet stable. That’s it for now.
