The key is FDV; in the crypto world, everything you do counts as market value! It's all about probability! Thank you.
At that time, the conditions given by Gala definitely did not specify how much, or even if they did, investors who bought Gala nodes wouldn't do the math.
I calculated this account again and did not say that Balance would definitely make money; this is a probability issue. However, with Gala, there is definitely no money to be made; if you can't even calculate FDV, how much to invest and how many coins to get, you will definitely lose money.
Balance nodes VS Gala nodes

I bought a CARV node for $500 at that time, mining 7 coins a day, breaking even in two months. In fact, I initially looked at the airdrop as too little and tweeted angrily about it; everyone can see my previous tweets. If I hadn't given up, I would have already recouped my investment during the time CARV went live.
But they are still continuing to sell nodes, and if more people mine, future earnings will decrease, which is the risk.
Investing in cryptocurrency really cannot guarantee absolute profits; diversification and playing the probabilities is the way to go. A few hundred dollars is acceptable, but I don't have that kind of money to buy a node costing over a hundred thousand.
