Just stuck the sticky note back on the edge of the monitor: Testnet points are just practice, not wages. Recently, the chat groups are full of "so-and-so celebrity mentioned a meme again" and "attention is on X chain," which quickly skews people's mindset. Clearly, they are running scripts / doing tasks, but in their minds they start calculating "how much I could get from airdrops if I get one"… At this point, it's easiest to get hooked, add more, and stay up late working hard.

My stop-loss is very simple: once it starts affecting the main position trading discipline (for example, getting itchy to chase memes, wanting to buy the dip when seeing buy signals), I immediately stop testing for a day; another is time-based stop-loss—if a single project takes more than two hours of fiddling with the environment / faucet, just give up and switch to the next one. To put it plainly, practice can be repeated, but once expectations come out, people start to take the final step. That's it for now, I’ll review tomorrow to see if I want to continue.
