Lately, earning testnet points has started to feel a bit like working part-time… I originally thought it was just practice, to get familiar with interactions and bridges, but then I saw everyone in the group chat calculating “expected airdrops,” and my mindset started to slip: staring at the panel every day feels like checking my body temperature—Gas, time, and account/ID costs all get factored in, and the more I calculate, the more anxious I get.

I thought I was doing risk control, but it turns out I was effectively applying leverage to “possibly getting tokens.” Put simply, my current two stop-loss rules are: first, set a total budget/total duration for each project—once it exceeds that, I won’t touch it, even if the points are a little lower; second, when I see tasks start getting endlessly ramped up, with a strong inflation vibe, or when studios flood in like a swarm, I just pull out—don’t let it turn into that chain-game spiral of “token price - output - studios”; no matter how many points I have, it can’t save collapsing expectations. Anyway, I’m taking my hands off the refresh key for now… I’ll sleep on it.
