Recently, I’ve been a bit obsessed with earning testnet points. It was originally just to practice and get familiar with the chain rhythm, but then everyone started talking about “expectations,” and I couldn’t help but start making moves… Later, I realized how funny that was. My stop-loss is pretty simple: I set a “fuel limit” for myself—how much gas I can burn in a day/week, how many times I can run scripts, and once I hit that limit, I stop, no matter how noisy the group gets. Also, if I notice a task pushing me to chase chain congestion or constantly changing strategies, that’s no longer practice—it’s being led by the rhythm. I just withdraw immediately. By the way, I’ve also noticed that recently, on-chain data tools and tagging systems are criticized for being laggy or misleading. I feel the same: don’t trust “your current rank” too much. Honestly, what you can see is often already optimized by others. Anyway, I’d rather lose a bit of time than turn myself into a points machine. That’s all for now.
