Recently, I’ve been obsessively earning testnet points, and it’s gotten a bit addictive. It was originally just practice, but once I started “expecting to exchange for something,” it’s like opening an invisible position— the more I earn, the harder it is to stop. My stop-loss is pretty simple: set a time and effort limit for myself, like if after two consecutive days of interaction I keep getting errors / stuck in the process / have to repeatedly change wallets, I just stop directly. Don’t force it; forcing only drags emotions into the game.

And recently I heard that some regions are tightening taxes and compliance, sometimes increasing, sometimes relaxing, causing deposit and withdrawal expectations to fluctuate. People become more impatient, and the more impatient they are, the more they want to rely on “points” to make up for it… Basically, it’s just shifting uncertainty onto myself. Anyway, I’d rather earn fewer points now than mess up my rhythm.

What I fear most isn’t slow progress, but chaos: slow progress can still follow the plan, but chaos leads to random actions and strategy changes, and in the end, I won’t even know what I’m doing during the review. That’s all for now.
