Lately, I've been obsessively grinding testnet points, almost going crazy. It was originally just practice, but I started to default mentally that "I'll eventually get something out of it." Once I expected it to pay off, my actions became distorted: staying up late to fix interactions, getting triggered and increasing gas fees when they get expensive, like chasing a rally. I set myself a simple rule to cut losses: a maximum amount of time + transaction fees spent on each testnet; if exceeded, stop; if no new info for two consecutive days, also stop—don't force it.

Looking at the collapse points of blockchain games with inflation + studio + coin price spiral, it's actually quite similar: everyone treats "practice" as an advance on wages, and in the end, only more competition and losses remain. Today, I want to record my emotional curve—I regret not the outcome, but that I took a small probability as a certainty, then tried to compensate with anxiety. For now, keep taking vitamin C, but don't shake your hands.
