Lately, I've been a bit exhausted from social mining/points activities. To put it simply, it's about exchanging time for badges and status, and in the end, it all depends on the project's mood. My engineering brain says: if you can write scripts, just write scripts; if you can't, don't force yourself, or you'll end up checking tasks like clocking in at work. When you look back, you'll find that the strategy wasn't optimized, backtesting wasn't done, and it's just pure consumption.

Some people compare on-chain yield products to RWA and U.S. Treasury yields. I can understand the desire to find an "anchor," but don't forget that on-chain variables are too many. When the points incentives stop or rules change, the expected returns immediately distort.

My own definition of "long-term" is quite casual: if you can get through one round of the points season (about 1-2 months) without changing your principles, that's considered long-term; if you can keep following the plan for a whole quarter, that's really impressive. Anyway, don't drain your life just for status, only to end up with a bunch of screenshots.
