Lately, social mining, points, and badges have become popular again. I also pay attention, but I really don't want to turn myself into someone who "checks in for status." Honestly, time is much more valuable than transaction fees. My approach is still the old method: first make a checklist, automate what can be automated, and set limits for what can't—no more than 10 minutes a day, and if I miss it, so be it. Don't let tasks lead you around.

Recently, I keep seeing everyone complain about miners/validators' income, MEV, and unfair ordering. The more I look, the more I feel: on-chain rules aren't for emotional validation. Don't take "I was early and diligent" as a shield. If you really want to participate, follow a grid or batch approach, accumulate slowly, and don't rely on badges to prove yourself. Anyway, I won't go all-in or drain all my time.
