From the earliest Alpha IPOs to now, how did this craze subside?
Since the launch of the Alpha feature at the end of 2024, I have been paying attention to this new gameplay. At that time, not many people participated, making the opportunity particularly valuable. By mid-2025, this activity exploded in popularity, and you could see discussions about it everywhere on Twitter, but it also came with many people frequently quitting and joining. Clearly, some people made profits, while others did not.
How was the earliest new token issuance mechanism?
I remember when I first participated, mainly by depositing BNB into the Web3 wallet’s Pancake to join the new token issuance activity. It wasn’t just a simple purchase; you had to time it precisely to buy, and only those who succeeded could earn profits. I did taste some success back then, earning a substantial income, which was also the reason I kept participating.
From being hot to becoming dull, what is the situation now?
Later, when the platform changed to a manual claiming mechanism, everything was completely different. Discussions about Alpha on Twitter noticeably declined, and the enthusiasm for participation has greatly diminished. Now, it’s rare to see anyone mention this topic, and the once-booming trend seems to have faded, replaced by relative silence.
