Lately, earning testnet points has started to feel a bit like clocking in for work... At first, it was just practice to get a feel for it, but then in the group chat, people were calculating "how much I can expect to exchange," and I started to get anxious, clicking buttons like I'm tracking K-lines. Honestly, once practice turns into expectations, the costs are no longer just gas and time, but also emotions.

My current stop-loss is pretty simple: no more than 30 minutes of messing around each day; if I go over, I stop; when I encounter tasks that require repeated interactions or the "task chain" gets longer and longer, I just give up and don't push myself. I've seen plenty of inflation + studio + coin price spiral crashes in chain games, and this points system can easily follow the same logic: the more competitive, the less valuable it becomes.

Lowering expectations actually makes it easier; after all, it's just practice. If I hit a surprise, great; if not, I don't lose much—maintaining a good mindset all day. That's how I'll do it for now.
