Withdrawal Post: Low Balance Alpha Number, stop being obsessed with airdrop brushing! (Attached Airdrop Profit Table)
Since September, after Alpha's "explosion of seeds", a large number of new users have flocked into the airdrop brushing track with dreams of "monthly income over 10,000", among which there are many participants with only a few hundred U funds. Today I want to pour some cold water on everyone: low balance point accounts really are not suitable for stubbornly sticking to Alpha anymore.
Let's talk about Alpha's recent new rules: points decrease by 5 points every 5 minutes, and the current market's lowest redeemable score has dropped to 215 points, which means that within a cycle, one can redeem at most 3 airdrops. More critically, this new rule is completely "beneficial to large players and discouraging to small players"—the same 15 points brushed, an account with a balance of 3 points can redeem an extra airdrop with a total score of "3+15", while an account with a balance of 1 point can only be calculated as "1+15", the gap was opened from the very beginning.
The more realistic problem comes afterwards: high score accounts can not only redeem airdrops first but also sell at high prices first; low score accounts can only pick up what's left, and prices are significantly depressed. Just like last night's BOS airdrop, high score accounts could sell at a price of 38U, while low score accounts could only sell for a maximum of 20U, resulting in nearly a 100% difference in individual profit.
Let's do the math:
If your balance points are only 1 point, brushing 14 points each cycle, for a total of 225 points, you can ultimately redeem only 1 drop in points. Considering the situation of being "snared" (intercepted transactions), you're basically in a state of losing money or not making a profit;
Even if you brush full 15 points each cycle, for a total of 240 points, you can only redeem 1 limited airdrop + 1 drop in points. After deducting the cost of brushing points, at most you can earn 45U per cycle, and if you get snared a few more times, you might only end up with 20-30U. Calculating for 4 cycles a month, at most you'd earn 120-180U, which converts to just a few hundred RMB—just find a part-time job, and the income is more stable and higher than this.
Instead of wasting time and costs on Alpha, it's better to turn around and look at the neighboring platform: no need to snatch airdrops, and no "snaring" interference, which is even friendlier to small fund users.
Everyone can refer to the airdrop profit table I compiled (attached), the data won't lie— for low balance accounts with 1 point, continuing to brush Alpha is really not cost-effective.
