Lately, chasing testnet points feels a bit like going to work. To be honest, it was originally just practice—but once I start thinking, “an airdrop is coming,” my actions get warped: staying up late, tapping the buttons, chasing tasks, and binding more and more wallets… I set a stop-loss for myself: no more than 1 hour per day + no more than 2 wallets. If I go over, I stop—no matter whether the tasks are finished or not. Paradoxically, after I lowered my target, it was easier to keep going, and my mindset wasn’t so easy to go off the rails.

I’ve also seen the rant about the on-chain sorting/MEV stuff—the feeling that miners/validators get the meat while retail investors are left with the tail ends. When that thought hits, I remind myself even more clearly: points aren’t assets. Don’t hard-gamble your time and risk. If you really want to practice, practice the workflow and risk control—don’t practice getting “carried away.” That’s it for now.
