Lately, grinding testnet points has started to feel a bit like going to work… They say it's "practice," but in my mind, I'm already calculating "how much I can get at the end," and once that expectation builds up, it’s easy to get more and more hooked.

My only stop-loss is: once it starts affecting my real life or mood, I stop.
Today, running a few more rounds isn’t a big deal; I won’t lose my breath over it, anyway, since the points aren’t legal currency.

A beginner’s misconception: more interactions, more wallets = more stable scores.
My current understanding: you’re betting on the rules + betting on the project surviving longer, don’t treat time and signature counts as assets.

The collapse points of blockchain games are quite similar, once inflation kicks in, studios enter the scene, and in the end, everyone’s watching the coin price and competing with each other, spiraling out of control, and no one can escape.
The same applies to testnets: when expectations are too high, first clarify what you’re losing: time, transaction fees, exposure to risk…
Don’t end up with just a bunch of useless screenshots, and if TVL drops, I’ll start to panic again.
