Points are starting to come back #ALPHA
Do not underestimate any wealth, as opportunities often lie within. If you don't participate, you will never have a chance.
I wasn't one of the earliest participants in Alpha; I only got in around mid-May. When I started grinding, I saw the MapleStory airdrop and realized this was an opportunity that I had to use my family member's account for. Since then, I've been grinding points almost every day without fail, and after joining, I've never left.
Watching Alpha transition from a niche experiment to a daily habit for hundreds of millions of users has been quite profound. This circle has never lacked new concepts, but very few can truly implement 'inclusive finance'.
It is the most straightforward way for the common people in web2 to make money; it is even simpler than using discount coupons on Taobao or food delivery platforms. Every day, you complete tasks, accumulate points, and exchange them for earnings.
The criticisms have never stopped—too little profit, can't grab it, rules constantly changing, risk control too strict. But I always feel that being criticized means it is really doing something. People complain about the small profits because they have actually received them; they complain about the rules because they care about this opportunity. More importantly, it has been continuously evolving: from points, first-come-first-served, to verification, and Booster activities; almost every time there is controversy, it can iterate quickly.
Alpha is not perfect, but it is 'real' enough. In this restless and trap-filled circle, it at least provides ordinary people with a channel to steadily profit through time and patience. This stability is more precious than gold.
