Lately, I've been a bit obsessed with farming testnet points. It started as practice to get a feel for it and familiarize myself with the process, but as I kept going, I started calculating "how much I should be able to earn"... Once the expectations are out, people tend to become unreasonable. I set a stop-loss for myself: no more than an hour of messing around each day, and if the gas/bridging cost exceeds the limit I set in my ledger for a single transaction, I stop; also, once I start clicking on unfamiliar links just for points, I immediately stop—better to earn less than to gamble recklessly.

Hardware wallets have been out of stock lately, and phishing links are everywhere. The more these times, the more I need to slow down. I'm not regretting the outcome, but I regret knowing I was impulsive and still forcing myself to keep clicking. That's it for now, I'll do the calculations again tomorrow.
