How I Made My First $300 and the One Mistake That Almost Cost Me Everything
After a rough May (-$175 across two accounts with my Girlfriend), June was the "make or break" month. We either figured out the Binance Alpha mechanics or we were out.
The Profit Math Throughout June, our focus was purely on points. The plan: daily volume for 15 Alpha Points + balance points. By June 10th, we had already claimed a series of airdrops.
- The Result: $467 in revenue with $170 in commission costs. Net profit — nearly $300.
For a low-bank portfolio, this was a massive win that completely covered our May losses. But then, the "psychological games" began.
The "High Threshold" Trap Binance suddenly raised the minimum point requirement for claiming rewards. Looking at the numbers, I decided the effort wasn't worth the reward and stopped my daily trading volume. I decided to "wait out" the bad terms.
It was a classic mistake.
The Main Lesson: Consistency > Analytics While I was "resting," the conditions became favorable again. The entry barrier dropped, and those who hadn't stopped trading made a killing. I was left empty-handed because I didn't have the points accumulated during those days.
My Key Takeaways:
- Binance Alpha is a marathon. The platform pushes "tourists" to leave by raising requirements, then rewards the loyal ones who stay.
- Never stop. From June 20th until today, I haven't missed a single day of trading.
