After running testnets for a long time, it really can create a false sense of things. Even though it’s just “free-riding” points, your mind starts calculating, “What if this round of points could be exchanged for how much in airdrops?” The rules I set for myself are simple: whether it’s the mainnet or a testnet, once the time you put in and the gas costs you pay exceed your mental threshold, then it’s basically money thrown away. A friend says I’m too rational, but in DeFi, the biggest fear is treating “practice” as “expectation.” Lately, discussions about rate-cut expectations moving in step with the dollar—rising and falling together—have been getting more attention, so market sentiment is even more divided. Anyway, don’t add extra drama for yourself on testnets. For complicated things, if you can make it simple, don’t overthink it.
