Lately, earning testnet points feels a bit like playing Tacos: originally just a way to "practice," but as I keep earning, I start imagining it as the main dish... and then people tend to get carried away. My stop-loss is pretty simple: set a time/Gas/attention budget for myself each week, and if I go over, I just stop, even if the group is shouting "this might have an airdrop." Basically, once expectations inflate, you'll treat every interaction as a bet; you're not losing money, you're losing your mind.

And then there are those "meaningless trades made just for points," which are a bit like the NFT royalty disputes: on one side, wanting creators to earn more, and on the other, afraid of killing secondary liquidity. Points are the same—if the incentives are too strong, ultimately both liquidity and real users get exploited... Anyway, I now just treat it like working out: as long as I improve, that's enough; don’t treat fitness test scores as a paycheck.
