I just checked the gas—it’s jumped up again. Every time congestion hits, it becomes the FOMO signal for the group. To be honest, the testnet incentives and point expectations are being hyped way too hot right now. People keep talking about getting more points for doing more interactions, but a lot of them forget that fees are also a cost. Especially after it goes live on the mainnet—if gas explodes, it’s hard to say whether those points would even cover it.

Anyway, my habit right now is to observe the block-packing rhythm before I take action. I’d rather skip one or two projects than end up being rekt by the “reverse rug.” Psychologically, I’m actually pretty conflicted. I see others charging hard and I feel a bit panicky, but to put it plainly: rather than constantly staring at point expectations for a mainnet token launch that might not come anytime soon, I’d rather first stabilize my own wallet. I don’t know if I’m right. I’ll just go with this for now.
