Misunderstanding One: Does a higher point threshold project mean bigger gains?
The truth is: whether the point threshold is high or low has nothing to do with expected returns. If there is any relationship, it is likely to be the reverse.
The essence of airdrops is that Binance rewards everyone for providing liquidity to the Binance wallet. For Binance, the goal is to give everyone satisfactory rewards. It won't be especially high or especially low. Because if it's too high, there's no need; 80U is satisfactory, and there's no need to give out 400U; saving that money to attract more people is better; if it's too low, people will complain and give up, so it can't be just 10U.
However, projects listed vary in quality, and token prices are determined by the market, which Binance cannot control; therefore, Binance adjusts the Alpha points threshold to control the number of recipients. This way, they can control the earnings of individual accounts.
So if the threshold for earning points is low, it's likely because it's a good project, and the airdrop is substantial, so more people are needed to share it, allowing everyone to receive about 80U.
If the point threshold is high, it's likely because it's a junk project, and the airdrop is small, so only a few can share it to ensure everyone gets 80U.
Do you understand this underlying logic? A low point threshold likely means the airdrop returns are too high, requiring more accounts to dilute it. So it's more likely to be a big gain.
Misunderstanding Two: If I claim an airdrop, should I stop claiming?
The truth is: you must not stop claiming! The scores from 16 days ago will always expire; if you stop claiming, the scores will continue to decrease. So even if you’ve claimed an airdrop, you can't stop claiming; at least you have to ensure your points won't drop.
Misunderstanding Three: Whether unclaimed tokens will be reissued depends on the official’s mood?
The truth is: theoretically, the reissue rules are publicly stated in the APP and the officials should strictly follow these rules.
If reissuing becomes dependent on the official's mood, it means the public rules can be changed at will; who knows, tomorrow the officials might feel like banning accounts, and the day after, they might decide to give 10 Alpha points to someone who has achieved a trading volume of 32,000 based on their mood.
But for some unknown reason, a recent batch of airdrops has not been reissued. Take EDGEN as an example; its remaining value definitely exceeds 10U per person, but it has indeed not been reissued, so it’s likely that the officials are being greedy.
Misunderstanding Four: Is consuming 2 airdrops a day or 3 airdrops a day a good thing?
The truth is: it's not necessarily a good thing. The more you consume, the more points you lose. So the three projects on the same day may not all be good projects, so it mainly depends on the value of the airdrop; it's better to choose wisely.
Misunderstanding Five: If trading volume will cause wear and tear, why not just buy low and sell high? I've seen many people use this method to make back their losses.
The truth is: profits and losses come from the same source. What you care about is the profit percentage, while the project party cares about your principal.
If you're thinking about buying low and selling high, that's investing, but if you know nothing about the project, the next minute the market maker could crash it, and you might lose everything.
Claiming airdrops is just claiming airdrops; don't confuse it with investing; the two should be distinguished. If you want to invest, there are BTC, SOL, ETH on exchanges, and projects like BOB on the BSC chain are much better than some of the tokens you're currently focusing on.
