Lately, earning testnet points has been a bit exhausting... Originally, it was just practice: familiarizing myself with cross-chain, signatures, gas fees, and other details.
But then a bunch of people started calculating based on "expected airdrops," and my mindset immediately shifted, becoming very greedy.
Honestly, once expectations get ingrained in your mind, it's easy to unknowingly increase your position size and risk over time.
My self-imposed "stop-loss" is pretty simple: keep my hot wallet only for daily expenses, and only tinker with the testnet for at most two nights. If I go beyond that, I stop.
If I start connecting to unfamiliar sites or blindly signing transactions just to get more points, that’s a red flag, and I’ll withdraw immediately.
Recently, the staking unlock and token unlock schedules are being discussed daily, and everyone is anxious about selling pressure.
I definitely don’t want to turn myself into a high-frequency gambler…
Let’s keep it steady, forget it.
