The days of low-cost gains are truly over. Recently, with a trading volume in the millions, it has made me see the reality—acquisition costs are skyrocketing.

The official weekly distribution of 100,000 points, but according to market tracking data, the average cost to acquire one point has been continuously rising. It was only about $5 in the first week, but now it has approached $30 per point. What does this growth indicate? The project's popularity is increasing, but participants' cost pressures are also mounting.

Early participants indeed enjoyed the benefits, but now new players need to pay a higher price to get a share. The market logic is cruel—traffic comes in, and costs go up. This may be an intentional or unintentional result for many project teams: increasing scarcity boosts the perceived value.

From $5 to $30, this increase is truly incredible. Early birds eat worms, latecomers eat dirt.

$5 to $30, luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have taken a big loss.

From $5 to $30, it's only been a few weeks, truly amazing. Had I known earlier, I would have gone all in during the first week, now I'm kicking myself. The project team's tactics are really sharp, playing the hunger marketing game skillfully. That's why I always look at early-stage costs when evaluating projects. Those who enter later are really just bagholders. Basically, they're selling stories, and when the hype heats up and it's time to take profits, none of them can escape.

From $5 to $30, the growth rate is truly incredible, feeling like being cut multiple times. Early birds get the meat, and those entering now are buying at high levels. Everyone knows this routine.

The data is right here, from $5 to $30, and the growth rate... Ironically, everyone is still lining up to enter. Hearing about 100,000 points per week sounds great, but the cost curve doesn't lie. The lesson from history is very clear: when scarcity increases, it's time to run. Objectively speaking, the project team is happy to see this—more traffic means more opportunities for profit, and who cares about the participants' cost pressures? Interestingly, how many times have we seen this script? Every time, someone says this time is different. Early dividends really exist, but those who only realize this now... have already paid the tuition.
