Recently, earning testnet points feels a bit like doing homework.

At first, it was pretty easy as practice, but once I start thinking, "This wave should get me a big reward," my hands unconsciously increase the attempts, add more entries, and use more wallets...
In other words, once expectations are set, it's very hard to stop.

I set a simple stop-loss for myself: no more than three days per project, no more than two sets of accounts, and if the Gas/ cross-chain/ time costs exceed a takeaway meal, I give up;
More importantly, if the rules change, I stop for a day first and don't chase to make up for it.
Recently, everyone’s been talking about rate cut expectations, the dollar index, and risk assets swinging around, but I’m actually more afraid that emotions will lead me to treat the testnet as the main battlefield.

My roommate also complained: "This isn’t about grabbing wool, it’s about buying hope with electricity bills..."
Alright, fine, just leave it at that, don’t act on impulse.
