Lately, social mining has become popular again, with everyone earning points and collecting badges, as if they are labeling themselves as early adopters. But honestly, badges don't equal identity; they are more like the current bookkeeping method of the platform. You work hard to check in today, but if the rules change tomorrow, it’s as if nothing happened... I’ve recently reminded myself: don’t waste time just for a few points. How the community’s consensus is formed often isn’t about who takes more screenshots, but about which words and which people are truly repeatedly referenced and trusted.

And now, even on-chain data tools and tagging systems are being criticized for lagging behind or even being misleading, making it seem less necessary to attach too much importance to “being labeled as someone.” Anyway, I’d rather go slower, earn fewer points, and watch how the hype ferments over a few more days. That’s how I’ll start.
