Lately, earning testnet points has been a bit addictive. It was originally just for practice and to get familiar with the interactions, but the more I did, the more I started to think "How much should I get?" Basically, when expectations align, it's easy to get frustrated. I set a stop-loss for myself: when I see on-chain gas/queue times clearly getting crowded, and tasks start turning into "race your speed + script racing," I stop. Don’t be like fake liquidity, pretending to be deep when it’s actually thin. Especially recently, before and after the upgrade/maintenance of that mainstream public chain, everyone in the group was guessing whether the project would migrate or not. I also get tempted to click a few more times, but I need to be reminded: points are not positions, time is the real cost. Don’t turn practice into a KPI… That’s all for now.
