It was originally to practice the feel, but as I keep running, I start to hope "what if there's an airdrop"...
Once there's an expectation in mind, actions tend to become distorted.
My stop-loss is actually pretty simple: set a limit for myself—how much time I spend each day, how many times I sign, which new contracts I reach out to, and if I exceed it, I stop.
Even if the points look tempting, I first close the webpage to avoid "practicing" and accidentally draining my wallet.
