Alpha is getting more competitive, but I'm still at it
Now I basically can't get by without scoring over 18 points every day.
The transaction fees have decreased (limit order 0.01%), but it's getting harder to earn points.
Gate and Bitget are both in the competition, and Alpha's bonus period is really coming to an end.
So should we continue? From my own experience, I have a few suggestions
1. Don't force participation in trading competitions
With trading volumes of 200K+, newcomers can't even make the leaderboard, and rewards are slow to be distributed.
If you want stable earnings, it's better to just earn daily points honestly.
2. Focus on low-volatility pairs
Pairs like #ZKJ and #KOGE are quick and stable to score on; don't chase obscure coins, as a sudden drop could wipe out your efforts.
3. Avoid LPs, there are many pitfalls
With insufficient fees, retail investors basically give away their investments.
Even if you want to participate, you have to keep an eye on the market, or you could easily get countered.
4. Look for secondary potential in projects
Many projects on Alpha will eventually make it to the main site.
AB DAO and GM, which I focus on, are examples; don't just look at airdrops; sometimes the secondary market has the real profit.
In summary: Alpha can still be viable, but the mindset needs to change; it's not the same easy harvesting as before. Now it's about strategy, execution, and information advantage.
Are you still engaged with Alpha?
How many points do you score daily? What coins are you using to earn points? Let's chat about it together.
