Recently, I saw a bunch of testnet "point sprint" events, claiming to be practice, but everyone implicitly expects to get something in return... When expectations rise, people start to lose reason: opening multiple accounts, running scripts, throwing more and more time, and eventually forgetting what they’re even doing.

My stop-loss for myself is very straightforward: set a maximum number of hours + gas/server costs for each project, and stop once exceeded; I also add one more rule—if the team hides risks/rules or has a "trust me" attitude in their documentation, I block them directly. To put it simply, practice should be low-cost trial and error, not packaging uncertainty as "hard work will pay off."

In the group, there’s been a heated debate over privacy coins/mixing and compliance boundaries these days, and the atmosphere is a bit torn... I think, just like testnet points, what’s most annoying is the gray area: you think it’s free, but it might turn into taking the blame later. Anyway, I’ve set my expectations firmly; being able to sleep well is more important than points.
