That lightbulb moment is powerful. Once I saw my faucet + staking returns together in one chart, it really drove the point home. Do you ever skip a week to test how much you lose by not compounding immediately? I did that once and it helped me see how small delays add up. Also, I recommend automating a claim-and-stake process if you can manage it. Beginners might not realize how much difference a week makes when you’re working with small but regular inputs. I’d love to hear what your monthly projection looks like now compared to when you started.

I absolutely relate to this. For the longest time, I thought compounding was only for people with huge balances. But even modest earnings, when restaked consistently, start to build momentum. I started a "compound diary" to track weekly gains, and it’s helped me stay motivated. Can you walk through your schedule—how often you restake, and whether you manually claim faucet ETH first or let it sit? For others reading this: if you want to get into compounding, just reinvest your staking rewards regularly and avoid panic withdrawals. Set a long-term goal instead.
