Lately, I've been grinding on testnet points so much it feels like going to work, claiming it's practice, but deep down I always think "what can I exchange this for later." Once I set a goal, I need to establish a stop-loss for myself, or else my time, gas, and attention will all be drained. My rough rule now is: at most two or three days per chain/project, and if the process gets more complicated or requires more signatures and approvals, I stop immediately; also, for those in the group who share a "must-do list" with every post, I tend to push it back to avoid chasing after emotions.

These days, stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and rumors of de-pegging keep flashing across the screen. The group reacts with surprise and panic, but I first review my holdings and permissions, so I don't use "practice" as an excuse to open up my risk exposure.

My mom also asked me: "You click links and do tasks every day, is it like collecting five blessings?" I can only say... it's similar, but don’t think it’s a free lunch. That’s all for now.
