The industry today has once again staged a magical operation. The BREV project’s airdrop mechanism is truly creative—30 alpha points can be exchanged for 175 airdrop credits, and if you don’t claim them all, 5 points are automatically deducted every minute, with a minimum of 10 points required to participate. Once this dynamic consumption rule was introduced, it immediately sparked discussions across the entire network.

Data further illustrates the issue. The pre-market quote was $0.44, but after opening, it skyrocketed to $77, a rise of over 170 times. Behind this irrational price jump, the fundamentals are almost nonexistent; it’s purely a short-term capital game of hot potato. Many people have already started planning to take a contrarian position.

But it must be pointed out that: "Mandatory point deduction" is essentially a way of selling anxiety. Legitimate projects’ airdrops are either purely benefits-based rewards or earned through completing tasks, and they will never set up such coercive countdown consumption mechanisms. Its purpose is to create a sense of scarcity, pushing you to rush into the market under time pressure rather than making rational decisions.

There are also risks behind the price surge. Last year, meme coins riding the hype experienced similar crazy rises, but the outcome was often a quick plunge, leaving latecomers with heavy losses. This kind of upward curve without a solid business model support is fundamentally a bubble.

If you truly want to participate in a contrarian strategy, the prerequisites are crucial: First, verify the project’s basic qualifications—whether there is proper disclosure, and if the team background is verifiable; second, assess the actual application scenarios rather than follow the hype. Without these two safeguards, no matter how impressive the rise looks, it’s just an invitation to buy at a high price.
