Recently, there has been a surge of "social mining/points/badges," basically using time as capital.
Spending late nights boosting interactions, ultimately only earning a profile frame, on-chain records look pretty, but people end up being drained.
I personally care more about liquidation thresholds and interest rate curves when using lending protocols; only things I can calculate clearly are worth engaging with more.
For those I can't figure out, I just watch the show with a narrative of identity.
And now, miners/validators' income, MEV, and fairness in transaction ordering are criticized daily.
Ordinary people work hard to complete tasks, only to have their transaction order jumped, fees exploited, and points not necessarily redeemed…
Anyway, I’d rather have fewer "identities," keep more margin reserves, and sleep more peacefully.
