Someone asked me whether I should top up for testnet points and how to set stop-losses.
Honestly, I'm more worried about my mindset: originally, it was just practice for interaction, but as I go along, I start to assume "I'll definitely get airdrops in the future," and then I end up watching tasks like going to work every day…
At this point, I set a very simple stop-loss for myself: time stop-loss + permission stop-loss.
For example, at most two nights a week, half an hour each night; if I go over, I stop.
Also, I only use a dedicated small wallet, never open strange authorizations or sign randomly just for points.
If I encounter unlimited authorization requests or networks I don’t recognize, I just give up.
Recently, Layer 2 is arguing over TPS, fees, and who gets bigger subsidies—looks pretty lively, but honestly, subsidies are other people’s money, not my salary…
First, treat operations as practice, and risks as real; points are just by chance.
