Recently, I’ve been a bit obsessed with testing network points.
It was originally just to practice and get familiar with the process, but once I started mentally calculating “how much I can exchange in the future,” my hands unconsciously added more positions and attention over time…
My stop-loss is pretty simple: I only give it a fixed time window each day, and if I exceed that, I close the page;
Also, I only swap between two chains or two bridges at most, the more I chase, the more likely I am to mistake a small bug for “no problem since it’s just a test network.”
Honestly, practicing is just paying tuition; don’t treat expectations as assets.
Additionally, recently, some places have tightened and loosened regulations on taxes and compliance trends, which also affects deposit and withdrawal expectations and emotions:
The more I feel “it will be harder to enter and exit in the future,” the more I want to harvest all points and airdrops early, which ironically makes it easier to stumble.
My “long-term” view is actually quarterly; only if I can calmly review after three months do I consider it true involvement.
Don’t force through the hype for a week or two—just leave it at that for now.
