Lately, I've been a bit obsessed with earning testnet points. Clearly, it's just practice, but as I go along, I start thinking, "Can I exchange this for something later?" When expectations rise, people tend to become unreasonable. My stop-loss is pretty simple: set a limit for myself, like how many hours I can spend in a week, how many times I can tinker with bridges or faucets. Once I hit that limit, I stop; otherwise, emotions will drag you along. Another rule is that if I have to install a bunch of unfamiliar plugins, sign strange authorizations, or take risky steps just to "do one more thing," I back out immediately. Recently, there's been a lot of noise about privacy coins and compliance with coin mixing, but honestly, it's the same on the testnet. To put it plainly, don’t get yourself into uncertainty just for a "possible reward." That’s all for tonight—if I don’t hit the full points, so be it.
