Lately, grinding testnet points feels a bit like going to work... It was originally just practice, but once I defaulted to the mindset of "I should be able to exchange for something," my actions started to distort: the more time I lost, the less willing I was to stop. My stop-loss is set very simply — give myself a total budget (time + Gas + attention), and if I exceed it, I stop, even if there are two steps left in the task. Honestly, the most expensive part of the testnet isn't the transaction fee, but the obsession that grows after feeding your expectations.

Recently, in the community, there’s been a heated debate about the compliance boundaries of privacy coins and mixing coins. I actually feel more inclined to separate "practice" from "betting": for practice, don’t gamble on policy or rules suddenly changing. All I can do is treat each interaction as a record: where congestion occurs, where anomalies happen, which addresses behave strangely… Just start with that, keep your hands from reaching too far.
