I stopped farming

Here’s why

It wasn’t burnout. It wasn’t alpha scarcity

It was something else

Farming used to feel like edge

Now it feels like work

Let me explain

Back then it was simple:

> join a Discord

>click some buttons

>farm points

>get a drop

If you were early and consistent - you won

Even mid projects paid $2K–$10K per account

But then something changed

Everyone started farming

Not learning. Not researching

Just copying spreadsheets and multiaccounting with zero context

Protocols noticed. They added friction:

> KYC

> interviews

>quests with 12 steps

>points that don’t mean anything anymore

Effort went up. Returns went down

And it hit me:

I’m not farming,

I’m competing in a race where the rules change every week

The worst part? Most of these projects won’t survive

You’ll do 2 months of effort

for a Discord role in a protocol that dies before TGE

So I took a break

Watched. Waited. Thought about where my time actually goes

And realized: I’d rather miss a $500 drop

than lose 100 hours on nonsense

I’m not anti-farming

If you're new — it's still the best entry path

Low capital, high upside

But I no longer chase every campaign

I pick my spots. I rotate capital

And I focus more on narrative, trading, and building leverage

The truth is:

Farming worked best

when I had nothing to lose and everything to learn.

Now?

I have capital. I have network. I have options

My time became more expensive than most airdrops

And I’m okay with that
