Lately, earning testnet points has been a bit addictive.
It started as practice, but then I thought, "What if I get airdropped?" and started to hype myself up...
Honestly, when expectations rise, people tend to be less limited.
My stop-loss is pretty simple: set a fixed total budget (time + Gas + energy), and stop if I go over;
And if I have to stay up late, repeatedly switch accounts, or ask for invites everywhere, I consider it no longer worthwhile and just quit—
Better to miss out than to drain my life.
Recently, the "attention mining" and fan token schemes in social mining are also quite noisy,
which makes me more cautious: attention is the most expensive cost, and it’s not guaranteed to be staked back.
If you really want to participate, treat it as practice + understanding the node ecosystem,
don’t mistake "possible" for "expected," or you might wake up to a Slash penalty affecting your mindset.
That’s all for now.
