Recently, earning testnet points has become a bit too addictive for me. It was originally just meant for practice, but the moment everyone started talking about “expected airdrops,” my mindset instantly changed: I began calculating costs, estimating time, and even whether to open more accounts… At that point, my own stop-loss is simple and brutally straightforward: treat time as money—stop once you exceed a fixed amount each day. Then treat risk as the bottom line: anyone who asks you to give away your private key, install plugins from an unknown source, or authorize an unlimited amount—no matter how many points there are—just block them immediately. I also take a look at permissions: if you can upgrade things freely or transfer assets at will, to put it plainly, it’s like a medical check report full of red warnings. On top of that, the macro situation is also being hotly debated again—rate cut expectations, the US Dollar Index, and risk assets all rising and falling together—so it’s very easy for emotions to get pulled along by the crowd. But a testnet is more like a test of patience: practicing is fine—just don’t treat “might happen” as “must happen.” Otherwise, the thing that gets cut off at the end won’t be money, it’ll be your mind.
