Some people say I’m jealous of others’ rebate income? Fine, then let me show you my actual data—I never specifically focused on promoting or recruiting people.

Take a look at my rebate earnings over the past few months: in July, I received 38,000u; in August, I broke 100,000 and got 104,000u; in September, it dropped back to 16,400u; and in October, it climbed up again to 43,900u. Altogether, that’s a total of 202,300u in trading fee rebates. Now you understand why so many people are scrambling to get into this game, right?

To put it bluntly, this is basically a passive income business—as long as the people you referred are trading, money just flows in automatically. But honestly, rebates are more like a nice bonus for me. I can already make profits just from my own trading, so of course I’m happy to have this extra income, but I won’t starve without it. Plus, my own trading volume is actually pretty significant, and the fees I’ve paid to a top-tier exchange alone are no small number.

Lately, the forums are full of posts bragging about “how much I earned from referrals,” but my advice is simple: don’t be dazzled by those surface numbers. What you should really focus on is solidly improving your own trading skills, instead of spending all your time trying to be a so-called “crypto affiliate.” After all, teaching someone to fish is better than just giving them a fish—having actual skills is the only way to go far.
