Lately, I've been a bit exhausted from grinding testnet points. It was originally just for practice, but then a bunch of people in the group started calculating "expectations," which basically means treating the simulation as real holdings, and my mindset immediately started to shift. The stop-loss I set for myself is very simple: once I start staying up late to complete tasks or adding unfamiliar scripts/authorizations to avoid falling behind, I stop immediately, even if I lose some gains. On the chain, the cheapest is gas, and the most expensive is attention.
The same applies during extreme times like spot/derivative funding rates—whether people argue about reversals or continue to inflate the bubble, I just focus on whether I am waiting for "someone else to give me an answer." My biggest fear isn't losing money, but gradually shutting off my doubts until only blind faith and inertia remain. That's all for now.
