Before, every day I’d see either “testnet points farming” or “mainnet will or won’t issue tokens” speculations,
and when emotions run high, it’s easy to get itchy hands.

My approach is still the same old way: keep a small position, participate in proposals I can follow,
admit when I can’t keep up, don’t pretend to.
