Are you saying that now testing on the testnet is really just practicing or gambling... I’ve recently been a bit overwhelmed by the "point expectations." I originally wanted to familiarize myself with the process, but then I saw people showing off their scores in the group, and some were using memes and celebrity shoutouts to set the rhythm, and my mindset immediately shifted to "Did I miss a step and end up losing?"
I set a simple stop-loss for myself: a maximum of one hour of tinkering each day + a fixed gas budget, if I go over, I close the page and don’t argue with myself; and also only interact with bridges and interfaces I understand and can accept if something goes wrong, rather than risking that kind of obvious black swan scenario just for a little more "possible points." Veteran players advise newcomers not to take the last step, and that applies everywhere, including testnets—don’t turn practice into a must-have reward... Anyway, I’m playing it safe for now, preferring fewer points over waking up in the middle of the night to a liquidation or theft.
