I just transferred the leftover gas out of a testnet wallet, and the interface froze on “Uninstall confirmation”—I just stood there for ten seconds, and in the end I still didn’t click it.

Honestly, I already know it: no matter how diligently you earn those testnet points today, tomorrow the project team can tweak the rules—or just go with “thanks for participating”—and they’ll all be wiped out. It’s even more obvious with chain games: inflation, studios, the coin price spiral—one looks more like a neon warning to quit than the next. But people are like that. You keep grinding and somehow you start to take it seriously, turning “practice” into “expectation.” Deep down, you always think: what if?

What if what? What if it gets zeroed out?

I set myself a stop-loss: if any testnet starts making me anxious because I “didn’t刷 one batch today,” or if it forces me to stay up late and stare at the faucet time, then I’m leaving—no questions asked. To put it plainly, it’s just practice, not a job, and definitely not a belief. I’m still checking contract permissions one by one, and I confirm again and again when signing—so why is it that when it comes to point expectations, I can’t learn how to set a stop-loss?

The exit button is right there. I’ll press it sooner or later. But not today. Today I’ll hold on and observe for two more days. That’s it for now.
