Recently, earning testnet points feels a bit like rehabilitation.
It was originally just practice, but then a bunch of people started calculating "expectations," and the mindset immediately turned sour...
My own stop-loss for this kind of thing is pretty simple: before I even understand what the interaction is doing in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, just for earning points, I stop first;
After several days of noticing that I was staring at the points table more diligently than I was watching the chain, I also stop.
To put it plainly, practice can be paid for with tuition, but don’t treat the tuition as principal to chase after.
These days, Meme and celebrity shoutouts are heating up again, attention shifts so quickly,
That old player’s phrase "Don’t take the last baton" sounds like nagging, but it’s actually quite accurate.
The same goes for points—when it turns into a sprint race at the end, you think you’re doing it for the long term, but you’re actually working for emotions.
The gloom is in the noise being too loud, and the hope is: those who can stop according to plan will still be here next round.
That’s all for now.
