Lately, I've become a bit numb from grinding on testnet points. It was originally just to practice and get a feel for it, but gradually it turned into an expectation of "I should get something out of this wave." Honestly, once that expectation kicks in, I'm more willing to add drama: do one more harvest, cross chains one more time, sign one more transaction... and the risks pile up accordingly.

I set a very simple stop-loss for myself: spend at most two nights on each project plus a fixed amount of Gas (stop if I go over). Data shows that if the interaction volume and active addresses don't pick up in the first two nights, then spending more time later is probably just for show. I thought I could control myself well, but as soon as I saw screenshots in the group, I started itching again. Luckily, I set a limit; otherwise, I might really turn into "working for points."

These days, cross-chain bridges are having issues again, and oracles are acting up. Everyone is saying "wait for confirmation," but I actually want to be a bit lazier: if I can avoid crossing, I avoid crossing; if I can wait two blocks, I wait two blocks. Practice is practice—don't treat it as guaranteed income... That's all for now.
