Ugh, I’ve been getting a bit too carried away with the testnet points lately. At first I figured I’d just use them for practice—click around casually—but the moment I took it seriously, I realized I was actually searching, “How much will these points be worth by the end of the year?” It’s both funny and a little annoying. Now I get it: if the testnet is treated like “practice,” with no expectations, then there’s no pressure. But the second you start thinking in terms of “conversion ratios,” your mindset changes. I set myself a stop-loss: either set a time limit—like only spending two hours a week messing with it—or roughly estimate a number based on a project’s ceiling, and then stop when you hit it, as if you’ve already earned enough. Otherwise it’s way too easy to get addicted—kinda like social mining. People keep loudly saying “attention is mining,” but in the end, who’s really mining whose attention? Anyway, I’m the kind of person who relies on fast hands, so I don’t dare to trust it completely. For now, I’ll treat it like a game—so I don’t end up taking it so seriously that the project team can outsmart me. That’s also a kind of stop-loss.
