Today's three meals from one fish don't seem very satisfying, right? With 45 points deducted, who knows when the next meal will be.
First, let me correct some misconceptions about points:
1⃣ With the delayed update feature of points used in a day, it's possible to partake in three or even four airdrops. Is this a bug?
This is not a bug in the points system, as the deduction on the following day is based on a one-time deduction of fifteen points.
In other words, if you partake in two airdrops, you must return all your thirty points.
<What should be given won't be less, I need your >
2⃣ If I received three airdrops today, can I take a break for fifteen days and wait for the next fifteen-day cycle to reset my points before continuing?
This concept also has its issues. Strictly speaking, every day is the first day of a new cycle; if you don't grind for a day, it will affect the fifteen-day cycle starting from that day.
So the correct approach is to maintain your point grinding pace all the way until the last date of a fifteen-point deduction, which signifies the end of a deduction cycle. The point limit increases, allowing you to receive the next airdrop.
3⃣ The score limit is getting higher and higher. Have studios and plaza aunties joined in? Is it still necessary to keep grinding?
From my perspective, the alpha event is simply an interactive airdrop mechanism. With interaction, there will be wear (don’t believe certain posts that claim zero wear). Whether it's studios or plaza aunties, no one will neglect their entry costs (they may understand the costs better than you), and Binance's risk control over studios is quite pragmatic.
If you ask me if it's still suitable to enter the market now, I would answer you: 'Now is the best time!'
As for the consistently high scores in these past few instances, I believe it's because the first batch of score deductors has been released.
Of course, everything has two sides:
The rise and fall also allows each wave of people to receive airdrops at different times.
Now let me share some of my thoughts on the alpha event:
✨【Sunk Cost】
Here, I also categorize them into two types:
1. Time cost:
As mentioned above, interactive types will have wear and tear, so reducing wear could also be a skill. The accumulation time for points is from 8 AM to the next day at 8 AM, so I usually finish grinding my accounts around six or seven in the morning. During this time, everyone has basically finished interacting, liquidity is low, wear is small, and large waterfalls rarely occur, preventing unnecessary losses.
2. Cost of capital:
It seems that '1000u+16192' has slowly become the mainstream or the minimum standard for grinding points. The daily wear and tear is roughly between 2-3U. I did 1025U at once; I previously encountered a waterfall with a large amount, which was not worth it.
✨【Delayed Satisfaction】
The delayed satisfaction mentioned here is different from the so-called delayed satisfaction in the airdrop.
During the alpha event, even if you didn't receive an airdrop today, you shouldn't blindly increase your trading volume and break the rhythm of 'periodic movement.' Doubling the trading volume means doubling the wear and tear, but the score only increases by one point.
We must find satisfaction within our own point rhythm; it is delayed.
✨【BNB holder】
Regarding BNB holders, I've been contemplating where the benefits for BNB holders truly lie. I won't elaborate much; if you're interested, you can check out an article I wrote earlier (The BNB TGE is Dead).
I agree with what Brother Moon said about weighting BNB holders' balance points more heavily. If I have 5000U in BNB, can it count as 3 points of balance?
Regardless, throughout it all, the dividends are still there. It's not too late to join now; everyone should just stick to their own point cycle rhythm every day.
