Today's Alpha has returned to 196 again. It's not really a question of whether one wants to chase or not; to go from 187 to 196 requires 9 points. I have put in over 1000 U, earning 8200+ daily, which gives me 15 points. If I want to chase one more point daily, I need to save over 10000 dollars or increase my daily grind to 8200+. This will take 9 days. To chase two points, my savings need to reach over 100000 dollars or my grind should increase to 32000+, which takes 4 days. The premise is that high-scoring users maintain their current level of grinding. If they increase their volume too... The point deduction rule has been in effect for several periods now, but why does the score line remain so high? I believe there are two aspects: one is that users are indeed becoming more competitive, leading to an increase in the score line. The second is that the project team allocates varying amounts of airdrop shares; more shares naturally mean more slots, while fewer can only raise the score line. Recently, the operation of waiting for a supplementary investment is actually due to the low number of people receiving airdrops on the same day. After all, 15 points will be deducted, and everyone weighs the cost-performance ratio, resulting in the original airdrop shares not being fully invested. This is partly to maintain the stability of Alpha's airdrop yield and partly to encourage users to claim the airdrop. Hence, we see the phenomenon of supplementary investment. Therefore, the point deduction system is beneficial for the sustainability of Alpha, but there are still inconsistencies. I think it should be like before: airdrops for those who reach the score line directly, followed by point deductions.
