Recently, I’ve been a bit obsessed with earning testnet points.
It was originally just to practice my feel, but as I kept going, I started calculating, “How much should I get from this wave?”
Honestly, expectations tend to distort easily from the start.
My stop-loss is pretty simple: at most 12 bucks a day (including cross-chain fees), if I get stuck, I just close the webpage and go grab a snack;
There’s also a time-based stop-loss—if after 15 minutes no block is produced or no funds arrive, I stop adding more, anyway I don’t want to fight myself.
I don’t understand the rules, and the more they change, the more it looks like a lottery-type project—I’d rather just miss out.
Now, the NFT royalty disputes are also pretty intense—creators want to earn more, but secondary markets want more liquidity…
What I see is a reminder: don’t treat “possibility” as “deserved,”
First, control your costs and emotions, and if you earn points, just consider it a profit.
