Alpha today has 282,709 people employed
Resignation today 0.61 ten thousand
No air drops for two consecutive days
Honestly, everyone is a bit hesitant to make wild guesses now
The big sister casually said a few days ago, "Alpha needs to adjust"
With these two days of continuous zero air drops
The whole feeling is that
The platform is withholding releases
I think it's easy to see a wave of "mass resignation"
But to be honest
I don't think Alpha will run out this quickly
Essentially, Alpha is just
A shelling channel opened by Binance for "projects that cannot temporarily go public"
Project side: exchange tokens for exposure and liquidity
Binance: take traffic + fees
Players: get air drops + volatility bonuses
The three parties were originally win-win
Now the problem is not the model
But the market has been terrible for the past two months
The project side sees:
One TGE = token price directly becomes a bag holder + zero textbook
Who would still dare to go up
The big sister's statement "needs to adjust"
I am more inclined to interpret it as: the gameplay needs to change but people must be retained
I have a few directions in mind:
Only recognize real wallet interactions
Script parties and point farming parties should be directly removed
Booster and Alpha deeply tied
If you want to eat the bonuses
You have to bring assets closer to Binance wallet / ecosystem
Replace the "point farming party" with the "asset party"
Clear out the backlog of old projects TGE in one go
Light the scene first
Details can be adjusted slowly later
Binance cannot just let over 200,000 active users run away like this
If this group of people flows out
It will be much more costly to bring them back later
So today my own operation is as follows:
1️⃣ Only look at low wear tasks for point farming
Like ARTX, treat it as low-cost life extension
TIMI is the last day today
In a situation of zero hanging + high activity
I won't force the points anymore
The difficulty of breaking even is too exaggerated
2️⃣ Observe other new projects for now
Wait until MSX, StandX actually issues tokens
In this market
The more you farm points, the more you lose is no joke
3️⃣ My own choice
Currently maintaining about 16500 points
Only doing "pure wallet interactions" for real points
Not saying this will definitely yield results
Purely betting on "Binance reform bonuses"
Brothers who can withstand it
Can stick with me in a low profile
Those who can't hold on
Leaving openly is nothing to be ashamed of
In summary:
Alpha is indeed very uncomfortable right now
Suspending air drops does not mean the model is dead
It feels more like Binance is controlling the rhythm preparing for a major revision
My own choice
Low-cost hanging + waiting for rules to be redone
Not rushing, not mythologizing
Not being the first to run, nor the last to take over
