Recently, I’ve been grinding testnet points so much I’m getting a bit obsessed.

It was originally to practice and familiarize myself with the differences between bridges and transaction fees, but then everyone started talking about “possible expectations,” and my mindset immediately shifted: start calculating time, gas, opportunity cost—basically, it’s no longer practice, but gambling on an undefined return.

My own stop-loss is pretty simple: once a test interaction on a certain chain requires queuing, repeated signatures, and multiple cross-chain steps just to complete the task, I consider it as consuming my attention and stop adding more funds.
Also, when I see public opinion tying ETF fund flows, US stock risk appetite, and crypto market fluctuations together, I become even more cautious—when emotions run high, it’s easiest to treat “points” as certainty.

Tonight, I’ll first clear the authorizations on a few old test sites to prevent any issues if the mainnet gets reused someday.
