Recently, earning testnet points feels a bit like getting an annual membership at a gym: at first, it’s just practice, but gradually it turns into “I have to squeeze out these points.” To put it plainly, when expectations rise together, people tend to be reluctant to cut losses. My approach is pretty simple: set a limit for myself (considering time/cost/effort), and stop once reached, no longer retry or wait in line just for “maybe I’ll hit it with one more try.” If the project rules keep changing, thresholds become more competitive, or if I see that all tasks are just similar, I treat it as ill-fitting and cut losses early. Others are still explaining market rises and falls with ETF fund flows and US stock risk appetite, but I prefer to control my own expectations first and not turn practice into an obsession.
