Lately, watching the testnet points situation, it’s becoming more like a "practice problem" turned into a "final exam."
Once you start expecting it to lead to an airdrop, your mindset changes: staying up late to grind interactions, adding funds to buy accounts, shouting in groups—honestly, at this point, you should set a stop-loss for yourself, or else you're just gambling with your time and attention.
My own stop-loss is pretty simple: first, lock in the number of hours I can spend on this per week; once I exceed that, I stop; then, cap the on-chain costs I’m willing to spend (bridges, gas, various small expenses)—once I hit the limit, I treat it as practice finished.
Seeing large addresses withdraw, funds slow down their flow back, I also directly reduce activity—no need to force it.
On the macro side, everyone talks about rate cut expectations, the dollar index, and risk assets rising and falling together.
Listening to that, I just don’t want to treat "points" as my main position anymore. When the trend shifts, the first to collapse are often expectations.
Anyway, if I make a mistake, I admit it, and try again next round.
