I just saw someone showing off those social mining badges—they really look good, but honestly I’m kind of immune to it. I used to follow it for a while too; I spent every day doing check-ins to rack up points, clicking links, and completing tasks. When I looked back, I realized I’d wasted a lot of time, and the points I redeemed weren’t really that great. 😅 Now I think it’s more important to put your energy into a rhythm that feels comfortable for you.
Lately people have been complaining again about miners and MEV—the fairness of ordering and all that. Anyway, for someone like me, a small retail trader, I can’t really get involved. But at least when it comes to wallet security, I’ve been more careful. For example, I’d rather spend a few extra minutes setting up a hardware wallet, or add two-step verification. It’s more troublesome, but it’s better than waking up one day to find everything gone. That’s it for now—take it slow.
