Lately, I've been getting a bit annoyed with grinding for testnet points. To be honest, it was just practice, but as soon as I started chatting in the group, the expectation shifted to "this round must get the airdrop," and then I unconsciously started investing more time and effort... I set a very simple stop-loss for myself: at most two nights per project, no more than two new wallets, and if I exceed that, I give up. Investing more than that isn't really practice; it's gambling that I haven't wasted my efforts. The AI Agent's automated interaction system also makes me tempted, but safety really shouldn't be compromised. If I can do it manually, I prefer manual; running scripts is satisfying, but issues can happen quickly. Anyway, I don't aim for get-rich-quick, having a resilient portfolio is the most important, and even if I don't get the points, I won't ruin my mindset over it.
