Recently, I’ve been grinding on testnet points and got a bit obsessed. I initially thought it was just for practice, but the more I grind, the more I start silently calculating “whether I can get an airdrop to break even in the future”… Once that expectation kicks in, it’s easy to lose control. My stop-loss is pretty simple: set a total budget for myself (time + Gas + attention). Once I haven’t made progress for two consecutive days or the tasks become increasingly competitive, I just stop, even if I’m almost done. To put it plainly, testnet isn’t about position size, but the consumption is real.

And now, those on-chain data tools and tagging systems are also criticized for being laggy or misleading, so I’m even less inclined to treat “others’ smart money routes” as a must-do list. I’d rather do less and save my reaction speed for truly event-driven opportunities… Anyway, I’m impulsive, so I need these strict rules to hold myself back.
