Are testnet points now automatically exchangeable for money? I also admit that everyone has been domesticated by the "practice = expectation" approach, but frankly, you need to set a stop-loss for yourself first, or else you're just using time as a stake.
My recent approach is pretty simple: first, treat "this time might be worth nothing" as the baseline, then only allow myself to invest a fixed number of hours, and stop if I go over; secondly, avoid projects that keep escalating and require scripts, as soon as their point rules change, I just delete the bookmarks—don’t get emotionally attached to them. By the way, when I see retail investors complaining about validator income, MEV, and unfair ordering, I get even lazier—others control the ordering, and all I control is staying up late. Anyway, I’d rather earn a little less than turn myself into a free testing worker.
