Lately, I've been numb from constantly grinding testnet points, originally just practicing, but everyone defaults to "there will be airdrops later," and as this expectation builds up, people start to lose reason: staying up late, adding to positions, running scripts, and the loss isn't just money, it's your mind. My only stop-loss is: once I start adding actions because I'm "afraid of missing out," I stop for two days immediately, skip tasks, ignore the group, anyway, airdrops won't owe me anything.
Now, the funding rates on spot/contract markets are extreme again, and in the group, people argue whether to reverse or continue squeezing the bubble. I just want to laugh: the more unified the sentiment, the easier it is to be indoctrinated. The same applies to testnets— the more you think "it's stable," the more you should cut your expectations in half. Oh right, I treat complexity as an enemy: if I can avoid doing it, I won't do it.
