Recently, earning testnet points feels a bit like part-time work... At first, I was happy practicing, but then everyone defaulted to "surely I can exchange for something," and once expectations were set, people started to become unreasonable. My stop-loss method is pretty simple: set a limit for myself (two hours a day / a few interactions per week), and stop once I reach it; also, I divide my wallets into layers—don't mix the testnet wallet with the main wallet to avoid accidentally sending real money if I slip up one day. Honestly, points are not assets; they are emotional amplifiers. The more you watch, the easier it is to get hooked.
By the way, watching the community argue about privacy coins and compliance with coin mixing is also quite similar: some think "technology is innocent," while others fear it gets dirty once involved. Anyway, I’m more conservative now—prefer to earn less than to touch gray-area tools just for a "possible airdrop." Sniping is fine, but don’t go all-in on expectations; there’s really no need.
