These days, grinding testnet tasks until my eyes are sore and my neck is a bit stiff... It was originally just for practice, but then everyone in the group kept talking about "points = airdrops," and my mindset started to shift. Honestly, once you start expecting returns, you should set stop-losses just like on the mainnet: stop when the time/effort spent reaches a certain point, and don't add more; if you're asked to bind a bunch of permissions or sign and switch back and forth, just treat it as a loss and exit. Anyway, points can't be withdrawn, and the real losses are your attention and safety boundaries. Recently, the NFT royalty debates also seem quite similar—everyone wants to have it both ways: creators want income, traders want liquidity, and in the end, no one wants to appear rational. Just survive, and don't turn "practice" into an obsession.
