Lately, I've been feeling a bit guilty about grinding for testnet points... It was originally just to practice my feel, but everyone defaulted to "what can I exchange this for later," and once I got caught up, I kept increasing the stakes endlessly. My stop-loss is pretty simple: I set a fixed budget and a fixed time window for each testnet, and if I go over, I close the webpage, even if the group starts sharing screenshots. Honestly, practice is meant for making small mistakes, not for pushing emotions to the limit.
And lately, hardware wallets have been out of stock, and phishing links are everywhere. I dare not click or install plugins just for points anymore. Anyway, I’d rather take fewer points than risk my wallet going black screen one night before I’ve had enough of the night view... That’s how I’ll do it for now.
