Recently, the user number data for various points segments on the Alpha platform has been widely circulated, sparking considerable discussion. It has been shown that the number of users reaching daily trading points of 16 is close to 100,000, a phenomenon that has led many to lament the fierce market competition. However, I would like to analyze the potential chain reactions that these data might bring from a different perspective.
Disclosing this segmented data could essentially stimulate more users to increase their trading volume, especially those who have reached the 16-point tier will work harder to break through their current level, trying to become part of the leading group. However, I believe users should calmly consider the actual benefits of this strategy.
It's worth considering: after you become what's called a "leader," has your actual profit really increased? Taking the increase to 17 trading points as an example, your trading wear cost will double. Assuming a normal market environment and using a reasonable trading strategy, each cycle may incur an additional wear cost of 60-70 units. Although you might receive an extra airdrop reward, this basically only covers the increased wear and does not bring substantial additional profit.
What is even more alarming is that with the trading volume doubling, the risk of being "caught" by market fluctuations also increases. If most users adopt this strategy, it will create a vicious cycle of competition—everyone invests more funds, takes on higher wear and tear, and expends more energy, but the overall returns do not increase.
This is not a suggestion to completely abandon the competition for points, but rather a call for everyone to analyze rationally and avoid falling into a difficult and thankless situation due to impulsive short-term decisions. Investment trading requires strategic thinking, not merely following the crowd.
