Lately, earning testnet points has become a bit annoying, they say it's "practice," but everyone is silently calculating based on "expected returns."
My stop-loss is pretty simple: once I start adding machines, proxies, and various small accounts just to run a few more scripts, I know my mindset is bad, so I stop for two days immediately—don't put all your time and attention into it.
Honestly, this stuff is like backups; redundancy is for emergencies, not to move the entire main chain over.
Having too many backups can actually drag you down.
And recently, those narratives that "ETF capital flows = US stock risk appetite = crypto price swings" to explain all fluctuations have been more of a reminder to me: don't try to fit stories onto uncertainties, or you'll get more and more caught up.
Testnet points are the same—if you can, just use them to conveniently verify if a project is self-consistent.
Whenever I see overly ambitious promises, I mark them...
As for whether the points can be redeemed, I won't spend them in advance anyway.
That's all for now.
