Just woke up and checked the testnet points, and suddenly I felt a little lightheaded. In the past, I thought “farming rewards” was just practice—if you could at least make a little pocket money, you’d laugh it off. Now everyone’s watching the expectations; they start valuing things before the airdrop even gets issued. It’s exactly like that old setup from the DeFi Summer days. Honestly, with that “shared security” and the stacked returns from re-staking, there’s been a lot of controversy lately. The nested-doll setup has me dizzy too, but no matter what, there are always people rushing in to add leverage.

My own approach right now: no matter how hot it gets, I set a mental stop-loss first. Before the points have arrived, the time I put in and the Gas fees I pay are treated as sunk costs—don’t get carried away and chase the loss by topping up more. I say I’m pessimistic, but my hands are still tempted. Still, at least I’ve learned to leave myself an exit. Anyway… thanks to a few times, I’ve been behaving.
