Lately, earning testnet points has made me a bit amused: it’s supposed to be practice, but as soon as everyone gets excited, they start calculating "expectations," which honestly feels just like real money FOMO.

My stop-loss is pretty simple: once I start changing my schedule for tasks, tolerating outrageous slippage / messy routing, or even willing to authorize my main wallet to strangers’ contracts—immediately stop. That’s it for today, take the points or leave them.
Practice is meant to make you more stable, not greedier.

By the way, watching the community argue about privacy coins and compliance with mixing protocols also seems similar: you think they’re discussing boundaries, but in reality, many are just looking for a moral shield for their own expectations.
Anyway, I have just one thing to say: the less trace you leave, the better, but don’t treat “I think it should be” as a get-out-of-jail-free card—if things go wrong, no one will back you up.
That’s all.
