Lately, I've been grinding testnet points like obsessively monitoring the liquidity pool, originally just for practice, but as I kept going, I started to assume "surely there will be an airdrop"... Basically, as soon as expectations kick in, people become very eager.

My stop-loss is pretty basic now: I set fixed times and gas budgets for each testnet, and if I exceed them, I stop, even if I'm just one step away from completing the task; and I only keep 2-3 interactions that I can review afterward—don't click everything, because clicking too much makes it hard to explain why I lost time.

Social mining, fan tokens, that "attention equals mining" approach, I think it’s more like turning late-night scrolling into a form of diligent work—pretty clever.
Anyway, I’d rather miss out now than be driven by expectations, because practice is for getting stronger, not for becoming more anxious.
