Lately, I've been a bit obsessed with testing network points. It was originally just to practice, but then a bunch of people started treating it as a year-end bonus... To put it simply, once "practice" turns into "expectation," the mindset begins to distort. My stop-loss is pretty basic: set a time limit and an energy limit for myself, like a few hours a week, and stop if I exceed that; then look at the on-chain turnover rate (you can tell at a glance if it's lively or not). Once it starts turning into mutual washing and raising costs, I just withdraw. My eyes also get pretty tired, switching back and forth on the task page—more exhausting than watching the market.
Additionally, recently in the group, there's been a debate about privacy coins, coin mixing, and compliance boundaries. Listening to that makes me want to step back even more: unclear rules, you think it's an opportunity, but it might just push you into an uncomfortable position. Anyway, I only trust my take-profit line—if I can cash out, I do; otherwise, I just consider it an experience.
