Today's alpha airdrop point requirement is 245, which completely verifies my previous idea that scores will show an upward trend. Due to interests, the number of people brushing alpha will increase. However, this situation should not last long; either the rules will change or the enthusiasm of participants will wane. Currently, looking at the news in the square, both have already appeared. However, one thing that is still uncertain is whether the project teams will decrease? Among the many tokens listed on alpha, very few can bring profits to holders. Occasionally, there are fleeting successes, but they are not many, and they are still in a downtrend. So, if you are a project team that truly wants to do well, would you be willing to see such a situation?
Brush points, receive airdrops, sell off, I dare say this is absolutely the norm for over 95% of users participating in alpha activities. In the early days, I would check the project and look at on-chain data before claiming airdrops, conducting my own research. After claiming the airdrop, I would hold it for a short period without selling, or even increase my position, observing the trend before deciding. However, from 120U to 100U, then to 80U, it has been in a continuous downtrend, ultimately clearing my position and exiting. Although the amount is not large, for me, my perception of alpha has changed significantly. The listed tokens no longer have research significance. Later, I also claimed an airdrop, watched it for a while, and sold it. The facts proved that apart from a very few, this was the correct choice. I am quite curious, what is the meaning of alpha's existence? Currently, I can only think of it as activating the BSC chain, but in this way, it will eventually enter a death spiral, as losses are real. Users cannot achieve expected returns and will naturally leave. Moreover, this type of user is not an effective builder of the BSC chain, and project teams will polarize. Purely profit-taking project teams do not need to care about price; with an additional channel backed by Binance, they can cash out the tokens they hold. Good project teams that want to raise funds through alpha also need to sell their own tokens. So, do project teams that are not short of money need to go on alpha? I don't think so. Projects with their own advantages have no meaning in going on alpha; aside from gaining a certain amount of exposure time, there is not enough attraction. In fact, due to price collapse, it may even affect the project's reputation. Of course, project teams can also take advantage of low prices to buy back project tokens from the market to maintain token price stability, but this increases time, personnel, and capital costs, which does not fundamentally benefit the project itself.
This is getting a bit long 😅... I will type more when I have time.
