Lately, earning testnet points has become a bit annoying, claiming it's practice, and everyone defaults to expecting airdrops later. As a result, every task feels like working overtime for myself. The task platform is now cracking down more and more on anti-witch measures, with form filling, social media binding, photo proofs... Basically turning "participation" into "expectation," which easily distorts the mindset.
My own stop-loss is very simple: once I start thinking "I've done so much, I shouldn't keep losing," I stop; another is if slippage/fees/bridge losses exceed my acceptable limit, I withdraw immediately—don't use emotions to add to the position. Points are just points; don’t treat your wallet like a work badge. What I don’t regret is, I’d rather take less than get caught up in this grind that feels like clocking in. That’s all for now.
