These days, I keep seeing a bunch of testnet incentives and points screenshots, and the comment section is all guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens... I find it a bit funny and a little anxious to watch. Honestly, the attention economy is just using your eyes as liquidity mining; when the hype comes, everyone rushes in, and when the hype fades, only slippage and transaction fees are left to recite poetry.
My current self-rescue method is pretty crude: for each hot topic, I only allocate a "curiosity budget" of no more than 20 USDT, and I don't chase after pending orders; the depth is so thin it’s like paper, not hard to squeeze. I also force myself to wait 15 minutes before confirming, and after that rush of excitement passes, many "opportunities" automatically become ordinary. Anyway, I’d rather miss out than be repeatedly educated every time the cycle rotates. That’s it for now.
