260 points is Alpha's ultimate conspiracy! The era of retail investors is coming (with retail investor operation guide)
Behind the soaring threshold, there is actually a new balance in the three-way game between platforms, studios, and retail investors. "Binance Alpha's threshold has been raised to 260 points!" This news made countless players feel a tightness in their hearts. The first reaction is: retail investors are going to be in trouble, this game can't be played anymore. But the truth may actually be the opposite. When we see through the logic behind the 260 points, we will find that this is not only a rule adjustment by the platform, but also a dividend beneficial to retail investors. Next, I will analyze it from four aspects 🧐
01 Digital scams, cognitive traps under high thresholds On the surface, the requirement of 260 points is quite harsh. An account needs to average over 17 points a day for 15 consecutive days to meet the standard. This seems insurmountable for players accustomed to mindlessly grinding.
Recently, the threshold has been raised to 260 points, and many people's first reaction is that "retail investors are finished." But the truth might be exactly the opposite:
1️⃣ Advantage of Retail Investors: Low Cost per Account
For retail investors, one account is enough to go all out. The costs are clear, and the mindset is stable, without the massive consumption of dozens or hundreds of accounts. Getting scores of 250-285 points is tiring, but still bearable.
2️⃣ The Dilemma of Studios: Scale is No Longer an Advantage
Compared to retail investors, studios rely on having many accounts and high volume. But as the threshold rises, their investment costs increase exponentially:
After deducting costs for facial recognition, rent, employees, software, phones, and real-name registration, studios can be said to have no profit. Continuing like this can only lead them back to old ways, just reducing without increasing.
Once the income is insufficient to cover costs, there's only one choice: stop accounts. Return. This mirrors the market situation in June: studios found that "the more they刷, the less worthwhile it becomes," and thus many small accounts were put on hold.
3️⃣ The Role of BN: Maintaining Order
BN needs traffic, and it also requires a long-term ecosystem. Therefore, they need to filter out pure bots, while not letting retail investors lose all hope. The final result is a "dynamic balance":
Retail investors can still participate and remain active,
Studios reduce excessive arbitrage,
The platform maintains user numbers and topic popularity.
✅ A New Stage of Harmonious Coexistence #币安钱包TGE
Retail investors continue to participate, with low costs and controllable investments; Studios reduce accounts, no longer frantically squeezing; BN maintains popularity, and activities can continue.
This might be the situation that Alpha truly desires: Not to allow everyone to make big profits, but to pull the rhythm to a state where retail investors, studios, and BN can coexist harmoniously.
As someone who experienced June, I still quietly刷, the interest rate cut cycle has come, and project parties are still lining up to go to alpha, only increasing and not decreasing. $PYTH {spot}(PYTHUSDT) $C {spot}(CUSDT)

🟣 Alpha Airdrop Threshold Soars, The True Voice of Retail Investors
"From 200 points to 260 points, in just a few days, the threshold for Alpha airdrop has soared by 30%. I really can't hold on anymore." Recently, many retail investors have been complaining like this in the community.
In the past, Alpha was everyone's "layup game", spending some time on tasks could easily earn stable points in just a few days. But now?
March: 0 threshold
April: average under 100
May: 137
June: 240
July: 200
August: directly jumped to 260
A 30% increase has left many ordinary people behind. #币安钱包TGE
💸 The harsh reality: not only taking my labor but also consuming my gas
Taking 260 points as an example, one person needs to work full-time for half a month, averaging 18 points a day. Just for wear and tear, it costs $3.3 a day, totaling $45 in hard costs for half a month.
After grinding for 10 days, as soon as the threshold is raised, all previous efforts are in vain.
Back to the atmosphere of June #币安Alpha上新
🏃 Voices of departure: 100,000 users lost in four days
Data does not lie. In June, the number of active trading users in Alpha dropped from 230,000 to 70,000, a sheer cliff-like decline. Now, many people are hesitating: Continue grinding, or cut losses and exit? Those who survived June still choose to "lay flat" and collect a basic income, because there are no new big opportunities outside.
⚖️ Contradiction: Stay or Leave?
Many people are stuck in a dilemma:
Having already invested time and money, giving up means all sunk costs are wasted;
Continuing to grind, but fearing that the final returns will be far below expectations.
This is the current state of most Alpha users: Unwilling to exit, but also unable to see hope.
⏳ BN's Difficult Choice: Filter Players vs Retain Players
Raising the threshold can filter out studios and retain true users. But if the threshold is too high, only a small group of hardcore old players will remain. Worse, a plethora of "Alpha-like" activities have already emerged in the market; once players leave, they may never return.
In any case, Alpha is no longer the initial game where "you could easily pick up money." #ETH走势分析

Why are there so many people playing in the cryptocurrency world?
I was born in 1988, a full-time cryptocurrency trader, with assets in the tens of millions. I withdraw 200,000 RMB each month from the cryptocurrency world, feeling no impact, living leisurely and freely, without deceit or intrigue, living the life I desire. My daily routine is to wake up at 6:30 for a run, rain or shine. In the morning, I usually analyze yesterday's performance and update the evening's news, combining my positions and specific circumstances to do swing trading or short-term operations with small funds, enhancing my market sense. Then, I spend 2 hours summarizing my analysis, which is the most important task in the morning, aimed at making good profits in the evening! Then I write an investment article and publish it on Zhihu, documenting my cryptocurrency trading life, so I have a place to reminisce when I get old. When I have time, I also like to write about my investment experiences and insights, helping others as well as myself. From initially losing 85% to supporting my family with cryptocurrency trading, I have tried nearly every method. If there is something that truly helped me find my way out of confusion, it would be the ten-word mantra I summarized, which actually applies to most people. Reading it can help avoid years of detours, especially the tenth word!!!

Good news about tomorrow's TGE! It has been confirmed that three BNB are not needed, but there are some precautions! There will be an airdrop tomorrow, catch it! #ALPHA The Alpha earnings for Luo Mao Ge this time exceeded ten thousand dollars, and no hair will be missed! Today's earnings from two airdrops are 37 + 39 + Ethereum contract one settled at 92, totaling 168 dollars. So good! (Emphasizing that recently, do not brush scores for BR, as the risk of being trapped rises sharply) There will be a TGE on the 25th from 4-6 PM, no need for three BNB, but the score will definitely not be low, at least 235+. Those with enough scores must participate, as currently high scores are all for TGE, and this time only 0.1 BNB is needed, although it requires quick action, but there is a high probability of getting it. TGE requires 🪜 (Fast Connect is good and the price is low), when choosing IP, do not select the USA, preferably Hong Kong, Japan, or South Korea, and directly maximize upon entry. Last Thursday was two segments of Monday's unknown, one segment was around 67U, and the first segment has a high probability of being obtained. There will be another airdrop tomorrow, 200 points, go for it! Based on experience, it is judged at eight o'clock. #ALPHA🔥 If you have a high score and can't bear to grab 200, you must participate in this type of TGE. Currently, Binance has no high scores for airdrops available for a long time; they are all on TGE. If you are unwilling to participate, it will truly be a waste, and you will feel bad about it. Wishing everyone a vibrant new week, may everything be delicious and whatever you want to buy will rise in value! Luo Mao Ge will not let you follow for nothing, if you haven't followed yet, quickly hit that follow button! 😄
