At this point, is it still worth grinding Alpha?

In recent days, many people have been shouting about quitting, some may just be casually saying it, while many are genuinely tired.

Ultimately, it comes down to increased investment and decreased returns. It's not just about financial investment, but also the time and energy put in.

Every day, you have to study which trading pairs to use and which paths have the least wear, while constantly worrying about suddenly being hit with a big loss. All of this is very taxing.

Previously, during April-May, I insisted on grinding in the 15-16 point range every day, and with capital retention, I could earn about 10,000+ in a month from a single account. If the selling price was favorable, it could even be more.

Stable cash income and gambling on coin prices have different mentalities. This is also why many were willing to grind every day before.

Now, there are over 90,000 people on-chain scoring above 16 points daily, not counting those grinding on exchanges.

If we take the median score of 16 points + 2 deposit points, grinding 18 points for half a month may only yield 2 times, at most 3 times. Thus, in a month, you can only claim 6 times, averaging about 100 USDT per claim (possibly even lower), resulting in only 600 USDT in a month. After deducting about 5 USDT for daily wear, the net income in a month is only 450 USDT.

From a monthly income of 10,000 to 3,000, and bearing many risks while spending time and energy, this also leads to reluctance to continue.

Studios are continuously adding accounts because it counts as large sums for them. With 100 accounts, even if each account only has a pure profit of 200 USDT per month, it’s still profitable. Therefore, the threshold for claiming is continuously raised and is hard to lower.

If you ask me now whether it’s still worth grinding, it depends on your expectations for profit. If you think earning 3,000 in a month is decent, then continue grinding. If you have other stable cash flow channels in the crypto space, I suggest giving it up, or waiting until your recent point deductions are compensated, and claiming the airdrop before giving up.

If you want to continue, it is recommended to grind in your wallet, with the path being: KOGE-ZKJ mutual grind, slippage 0.05. Under normal circumstances, 16 points wear is about 5 USDT, and 17 points wear is about 8 USDT.

As for how to improve, we cannot influence Binance's decisions, and there may not be particularly good methods. In fact, Binance is already working hard on rules and risk control. It is obvious that risk control measures are constantly being tightened, but they still haven't managed to limit the studios.
