Recently, earning testnet points feels a bit like signing up for a gym membership: initially just practicing moves, but then everyone in the group starts showing off their "expected returns" every day, and my mindset begins to drift. Honestly, once practice turns into expectations, you need to set a stop-loss; otherwise, you're just using time as chips to gamble on emotions.
My stop-loss is pretty simple: the maximum number of minutes I spend each day, the maximum number of clicks I make, and once I hit that limit, I shut it down—even if I haven't completed half the tasks. Also, if I notice myself changing my schedule or increasing leverage (even just opening more accounts) just to earn points, I stop for a week to cool off. Whether I get points or not, how I get them, ultimately it's about governance and incentive design—don't treat it like a paycheck.
As for the recent news about tax increases or relaxed and tightened compliance measures, I admit I’m always a step behind. It’s only when everyone starts talking about deposit and withdrawal anxiety that I realize: many people are actually earning points to give themselves a psychological comfort of “future cash-out”… Anyway, I’ll lower my expectations first. If I can get something, great—if not, it won’t affect my real life.
