Recently, doing tasks on task platforms really feels a bit like clocking in at work: today it’s this, tomorrow I have to fill that in, and the day after that I need to post a push notification screenshot… Basically, it’s using time to exchange for “scores,” and you always have to worry about getting cut off by a witch. Once the new L1/L2 came in and incentives started driving TVL, the guys in the group started complaining again about “mining to sell,” and I get it. In any case, the wool has become KPIs.

Not long ago, a project asked me to connect my main wallet to do signatures. I couldn’t understand what that authorization was really for, and I got a little uneasy: forget it—don’t do anything for now. I tried it with a clean secondary wallet and found it was asking for unlimited authorization, so I immediately pulled back. There’s no harm in being cautious. With self-custody, I’d rather make a little less than dig a hole for myself.
