Recently, I’ve been feeling a bit dazed from testing on the testnet.
It was originally just for practice, but as I kept testing, I started silently thinking, “Will the mainnet issue tokens?”…
Honestly, when expectations rise, people tend to treat time as capital and invest it accordingly.
My current stop-loss is pretty simple: first, estimate a probability, don’t treat it as fate.
For example, I think there’s only a 30% chance that this set of points will “produce decent results,” so I’ll invest at most 30% of my effort/30% of my gas budget, and the rest can be spent browsing the community, looking at floor prices, at least not delaying other narratives.
Another rule: once I find myself getting overly excited, asking everywhere “How many points are enough,” I’ll stop for two days…
Anyway, even if the testnet incentives are tempting, it’s not worth disrupting my life rhythm.
If the mainnet really launches, I’ll treat it as a surprise; if not, I’ll just see it as practice, stay calm.
