It’s hot and stifling outside again, and traffic is jammed—once there are so many red lights, even the coffee goes cold… I checked the blockchain for a while and found that everyone has recently started getting worked up over “points/identity/badges.” To put it simply, it’s treating your time like chips. Even those whale-sized transfers I’m watching remain pretty calm—but these social mining schemes are the easiest way to wear people down: daily check-ins, reposts, doing tasks, and in the end, getting a profile frame, while thinking to themselves that they’re still “early.” I’m not saying you can’t play—just don’t hand over your whole life’s rhythm to it. If you miss out, then you miss out.

Also, lately hardware wallets are out of stock, and phishing links are being shared at a high rate. The more everyone is rushing to cash in on points, the easier it is to accidentally click the wrong thing. My advice as a witness is one sentence: if a badge isn’t worth it, don’t hand over your private keys—breathe easy and get your security handled first. That’s it for now.
