Lately, I've been a bit obsessed with testing network tasks. It was originally just to practice my feel, but the more I did, the more I started silently calculating, "Can I exchange some points for something this time?" Once my mind gets into expectations, my actions tend to distort easily. Clearly, it's practice, but it turns into chasing points.
My self-imposed stop-loss is pretty simple: at most two hours per test network + no more than three interactions. If I exceed that, I stop, regardless of "one step left." Gas/time/attention all count as costs, especially now that staking and shared security yield stacking returns that are being criticized as a nesting doll. I don't want to waste my energy gambling on "maybe it will pay off." There's too much information, which causes anxiety. My filtering method is to only look at the project's public documents and on-chain data that can be verified. Screenshots in groups and hearsay "rules" are all treated as noise... for now, that's how it is.
