Lately, I've been a bit obsessed with testing network points, claiming it's just practice, but secretly I keep thinking, "What if I can exchange for something..." Once you start having expectations, it's easy to increase your time and effort, and in the end, you end up diverting your attention from the protocol itself.

My stop-loss is pretty simple: spend at most two nights on each test network, and if by the third night I still haven't understood its retention and fee logic, I give up.
Also, keep the wallet and main account completely separate—don't risk your security just for a few points.
Outside, people are talking about ETF capital flows and whether the risk appetite in the US stock market can explain crypto price swings.
Honestly, that narrative changes every day, so I just treat it as noise.
The things that can stick around are those that people use even if you don't log in every day—just accumulate slowly, rushing won't help.
