Someone asked me whether the points badges in social mining are really worth it. I actually just want to say: don't treat yourself as free labor. Checking in daily, sharing posts, chatting awkwardly in groups, rushing for whitelist spots—basically, it's exchanging time for a "possible" identity premium, but that identity can also vanish overnight. If the project changes the rules, you might not even have the right to argue.

I've seen too many people ruin their main jobs just for a badge, only to end up missing airdrops and draining their emotions and attention. If you really want to play, set a limit: ten minutes a day, finish and walk away; avoid easy-to-be trapped routes in on-chain interactions, don't pay double tuition just to earn points once.

Recently, the group has been arguing again about privacy coins, coin mixing, and compliance boundaries... I just find it quite disconnected: one side calls privacy a right, while the other demands everyone to use real names to earn points. Anyway, I believe in one thing more: managing time as an asset is more reliable than treating badges as assets.
