Lately, I've been a bit obsessed with earning testnet points. Originally, it was just to practice familiar routing and see how funds migrate, but once I subconsciously defaulted to "this round should have a return," my actions started to distort: repeatedly cross-chain, mindlessly add to positions with Gas, rushing to complete new tasks. To be honest, my stop-loss now depends on time and effort: if there’s no significant new information or narrative after two consecutive days, I stop; if the daily Gas/bridge fees exceed my willing limit for learning costs, I stop; and one more thing, if the tasks keep increasing my main account’s risk exposure, I just withdraw. Some places are tightening taxes and compliance, and the expectations for deposits and withdrawals are changing. Points, which are "potentially redeemable in the future," become more of a psychological burden… What I fear most isn’t losing money, but turning practice into gambling. That’s it for now. I’ll organize the interaction records tonight and see if I want to keep pushing tomorrow.
