Recently, I’ve been a bit obsessed with testing network points.
It was originally just practice, but as I kept testing, I started to imagine “Will there be airdrops in the future”…
Once expectations are set, people tend to allocate more time and resources.
My stop-loss is pretty simple: first set a “total investment cap” (time + Gas + attention), and stop once it’s exceeded;
Then look at the breadth—if the same batch of tasks/projects are being done by everyone, and relevance is increasing (actions are the same),
then the expectation is actually just squeezing out an exit, so I reduce frequency or even give up altogether.
Now, comparing RWA, government bond yields, and on-chain yield products, the more you compare, the more it looks like trying to find certainty,
but honestly, test networks are the least certain…
Anyway, I’d rather miss out than turn practice into an obsession.
