Recently, I’ve been grinding testnet points so much I’m getting a bit obsessed. It was originally just for practice, but the more I grind, the more I start to “expect” that I might be able to exchange for something in the future… That’s dangerous. My stop-loss is pretty simple: treat it as a zero-profit project, set a limit for myself—how much time I spend each day, how many gas/transaction fees I pay (even test tokens count as cost), and if I go over, I stop; then, if I start leveraging, borrowing coins, or crossing a bunch of bridges just for points, it’s basically gambling, so I cut it out completely.

In the hot chain gaming scene, the inflation + studio + coin price spiral looks like a mirror: when “doing tasks” turns into “working and waiting for a paycheck,” expectations rise, actions become more aggressive, and in the end, it’s just internal competition.

Forget it, to put it plainly: don’t let practice turn into an obsession. If you can sleep, just sleep. There’s no rush to grind again tomorrow; it won’t make a difference in your gains.
