Testnet points are a tricky thing. I originally thought it was just for practice, but once the community started discussing airdrop expectations, my mindset changed.

Now I've set a strict rule for myself: if by the third week the cumulative gas fees exceed a certain amount in my mind, regardless of whether there's a snapshot notification, I'll stop first. To put it plainly, what I fear most is not losing a few dozen dollars in gas, but losing that sense of relaxation in "practice" and turning into an anxious person staring at Discord for alpha every day.

Lately, looking at discussions about validator income, I've come to feel even more that no matter how much retail investors shout about on-chain fairness, it's useless. Better to manage my own affairs first. Drink the coconut water first; expectation management is more important than the expectations themselves.
