This wave of airdrop season is making me a bit exhausted... Various social mining, points, and identity badges, to put it simply, are turning "participation" into KPIs, turning the grab-and-go crowd into a work-like routine, and the task platforms are even anti-witching. The more they do, the more it feels like solving problems. I used to feel anxious too, worried that missing out on a badge would mean losing a part of the narrative, but then I realized that time is the most valuable chip.
Now I more like giving myself a "patch": small fixes are enough. When I see projects overheating or tasks becoming absurdly long, I automatically step back, preferring to earn fewer points than to drain my daily mood. Anyway, opportunities on the chain are always there, and truly meaningful narratives won't rely solely on check-ins to survive... For now, that's it, going to brew some tea.
