Lately, testing the testnet points has felt a bit like going to work... It was originally to practice feel and get familiar with the process, but I subconsciously defaulted to "there should be a reward," and once that expectation develops, it's easy to keep investing more and more.

My stop-loss is set very simply: time stop-loss + effort stop-loss. For example, if I spend three days on a project still fixing the environment, collecting water, crossing bridges, and dealing with various hurdles, I consider it tuition and withdraw;
If it takes me more than an hour each day, I withdraw as well—don't use my life to exchange for a lottery ticket that might not even pay out (basically, it feels like buying air).
On the macro side, there's talk about rate cut expectations, the dollar, and risk assets rising and falling together.
I don't really follow that sentiment much; I treat the testnet as exercise—don't get so caught up that you break your own defenses.
That's all for now.
