Lately, I've been a bit obsessed with testing network points. It was originally just to practice my feel, but now everyone is starting to calculate "how much I can exchange in the future," and I can't help but feel anxious along with them... Honestly, once expectations get into your head, it's easy to treat time and Gas as sunk costs and tough it out. My stop-loss is pretty simple: at most X hours of tinkering each day, and if after three days of cross-chain/interactions there's no clear result, I stop. Don't miss out on mainnet opportunities just for a "possible airdrop." Especially now, with the main public chain upgrading/maintaining, everyone in the group is speculating whether ecosystem projects will migrate away, and I dare not chase after it—there's too much noise. I'm most afraid of not losing money but mistaking practice for investment, and hope for certainty, only to have my mindset pulled along. For now, that's it—being a little slow is okay.
