These past couple of days, I've been earning testnet points and I’ve become a bit cautious: at first, it was clearly just "practicing," doing a couple of transactions to get familiar with the process. But once the group started talking about "expectations," people began to get carried away, throwing time, gas, and accounts into it... Honestly, once practice turns into "I should be able to get it," it's easy to forget to cut losses.
My current stop-loss rule is pretty simple: set a maximum amount of time/cost I can spend each day, and stop once I reach it; I also have a reminder—whenever I see social media suddenly spike in popularity, with everyone showing off "I gained xx points again," a pop-up will remind me to drink water and stay calm. Once I set it up, I felt more relaxed, less obsessed with the task list, and it’s okay if I don’t finish everything.
By the way, I checked the funding rate, and during extreme cases, the community starts arguing again—"Is this a reversal signal or just more bubble squeezing?" I just treat my emotions as a red light for now... as long as my hands don’t move faster than my brain.
