Does the Alpha high score reduction mode really benefit retail investors?
Today's 250 points airdrop has changed its rules, from a reduction of 15 points every hour to a reduction of 5 points every 5 minutes. Many people are applauding and saying this is an opportunity for retail investors. If the airdrop can be received in the future, let's analyze in depth what the Alpha ecosystem will look like if it really adopts a fixed high score reduction mode. Does it truly benefit retail investors?
1. Behind the high scores lies the madness of score competition
If the Alpha airdrop is fixed to 250 points going down, it is basically a rebranded version of priority claiming. Once this mode is formed and the lower limit is set, the teams that previously brushed 1➕16 and 2➕15 will be forced to compete for scores in order to catch up with the larger group within a smaller cost to maximize profits. Some may leave due to the high threshold of Alpha scores, but the proportion of users forced to compete for scores is also considerable. In this scenario, the waves of the past push the waves of the future, and the future waves continuously become the waves of the past. The reduction every five minutes becomes talk, as no one can guarantee how many people will actually be there for this 250 points and whether it will be snatched up. Everyone enters the high score era.
2. The reduction every five minutes, with a lower limit no one sees
As mentioned in the first point, everyone has high scores. Users holding 270 points are everywhere. Even if this airdrop clears out a batch of high-scoring users, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that, another batch of high scorers will come back in this vicious cycle. The lower limit of the airdrop score is linked to the degree of user competition, but since Alpha was established, when has the rule competition not been competitive?
3. The upper limit of each cycle's airdrop is fixed; the long cycle of 15 days is just waiting
The Alpha airdrop has fluctuated in scores, with scores being high or low. Everyone is looking forward to the next score being lower than their current Alpha score. Once the high score reduction mode is established, the lower limit of each airdrop at 250 points is set here. Currently, the vast majority of users are basically below 250 points after claiming about twice. After seeing the bleak prospect of no score reduction, they can only wait for the return of points after 15 days. Within a cycle, there is only the tediousness of brushing scores and the anxious experience of being squeezed. User enthusiasm continues to be low. Each airdrop of 30u can only be a greater harm than benefit for ecological development.
This mode indeed benefits retail investors who have been unable to grab airdrops before, but I would prefer to see a situation like in September where you never know what the score of the next airdrop will be, and you always have hope.
