Recently, I came across an interesting observation — now, people participating in Alpha projects are like sanitation workers, earning the minimum wage to do the hardest work, and they have to be on edge.

It is said that the website shows there are still 250,000 people online participating, but considering the incentive factors of trading competitions, the actual active number should be lower.

Here's a quick calculation: completing a round of 15+2 tasks costs about $25, and grabbing a regular airdrop is around $30. Based on the current scores, reaching 255 points should roughly break even, and with good luck, you might even make a little extra.

Why do people keep going? Honestly, it’s a kind of obsession. Many are still persisting, all hoping for the same thing — believing that as the end of the year approaches, major exchanges will give loyal traders some New Year benefits. This expectation keeps everyone invested.

By the way, the official announcement for today’s airdrop time has not been made yet, but based on past patterns, it should be around 18:00. Last year’s six-week carnival task airdrop was at 18:10. Friends with enough points can pay attention in advance; the estimated cutoff score should be between 236 and 241.
