Lately, I've been a bit obsessed with earning testnet points. Originally, it was just to practice and get a feel for it, but once I start expecting to exchange for something, it begins to feel more like work, and I find it hard to stop. My stop-loss is pretty simple: I set a limit for myself—how much time I can spend each day, how many times I can sign in, how many new plugins/wallets I can install. Once I hit the limit, I stop, no more pushing myself. Anyway, points don’t count until they’re actually credited.
And looking at the collapse points of blockchain games, it’s quite similar: when inflation hits, studios start to roll out, and eventually the token prices spiral down. The first to be drained are the ordinary users’ patience and time. Honestly, testnets might also go down the “over-competition” route. I only focus on reusable records and processes, small tweaks, and don’t chase full attendance. That’s it for now.
