Lately I've been earning testnet points again, claiming it's practice, but honestly I’m being very honest: starting to think "what if I really get an airdrop." Once the practice turns into expectations, people tend to get carried away, and the most obvious sign is losing the stop-loss on time, constantly adding interactions and completing tasks, like chasing homework.

My current stop-loss setup is pretty simple: at most two days of messing around with each testnet, and on the second day I rely on an alarm to remind me to give up if I haven't made progress; I also keep wallets separate, don’t mix the main wallet, to avoid a bunch of authorizations later that will just make me annoyed when I look back. Honestly, until I get the points, I consider them zero—don’t treat "possibility" as an asset.

By the way, I’ve been seeing discussions lately about tax increases and tightening/loosening of compliance in certain regions. My reactions have always been a bit slow… until the steps of depositing and withdrawing suddenly became troublesome, I realized the anxiety isn’t without reason. Anyway, I’ll slow down the pace first, prefer to earn a little less, rather than let myself be driven by rules. That’s all for now.
