Recently earning testnet points feels a bit like getting an annual membership at a gym: you start out just to practice, but the more you do it, the more you default to “there will definitely be an airdrop in the future.” Once your mindset shifts, your hand naturally reaches further. My stop-loss is pretty down-to-earth: treat it as a learning cost, set an upper limit for myself (pick one: time / transaction fees / opportunity cost), and stop when the time is up—even if the task is still a little short. If I really want to add to my position expectations, I’ll wait until the rules are clearer; don’t keep saying you’re “practicing” while treating it like a serious position.
These days, the staking unlocks and the token unlock calendar keep getting discussed over and over. Seeing too much anxiety about selling pressure and bullish talk also really affects judgment—plainly speaking, the information noise is just too loud. The noise-reduction strategy is one sentence: only pay attention to the on-chain actions and official changes that you can verify; as for those “people in the group say it will be released / say it will be dumped,” treat them as background noise for now. Anyway, I’d rather earn fewer points than let the whole rhythm get thrown off.
