Recently, I also got a bit obsessed with testnet points. I was originally thinking "practice a bit, and maybe earn some," but then every day in the group, people were calculating expectations. The more I looked, the more it felt like I had already received the airdrop... Honestly, once practice turns into expectations, people start to lose reason.

My stop-loss for myself is pretty simple: if I don't understand it, I don't move. There was a process involving cross-chain and re-staking, and the tutorial was like a tongue twister. I pushed through two steps, gas fees felt like a knife cutting meat, and I was stuck on a signature popup that didn't respond for a long time. At that moment, I suddenly realized: I am "practicing," not "paying tuition to buy faith." I stopped immediately, and the remaining points are whatever anyone wants.

Now, when I see celebrities calling signals or memes, and attention shifts again, I’m even lazier to chase the last step. If I want to go for it, I can, but I give myself at most two hours plus a fixed budget. If I go over, I treat it as withdrawing liquidity. No need to pretend to be a diamond hand—if I lose, I accept it. That’s it for now.
