Some project teams use the token burn hype to attract retail holders, but the reality is often much harsher. The issuance mechanism still exists, and the so-called scarcity is also difficult to maintain—even if only 1 token remains, if the project has no practical application, it is just as good as air. What's more heartbreaking is that many investors expect large capital inflows to unlock their positions, but they don't realize that this "death spiral" fantasy often first consumes their own principal. Similar tactics are common in the market: burn concepts are everywhere, but what can truly save your tokens is never these superficial tricks at the mechanism level, but the actual value of the project itself. Retail investors need to have a clearer judgment in this game.

Destroy this set of... I saw through it long ago. Last year, I went all-in on three such projects, and now all I have left are tears and memories of being trapped.
Coming again to deceive us into thinking it's scarce? I knew the outcome the moment they announced more issuance. It’s frustrating.
To put it plainly—if it has no application value, it’s just air. The less it has, the more pointless it is. I’ve truly learned to be smarter this time.
Waiting for big funds? Dream on, brother. First, eat up your own principal completely. I’ve experienced this death spiral.
Honestly, instead of studying the destruction mechanisms, it’s better to see if the project itself has real value. Unfortunately, I realized this too late.
No matter how many tricks the mechanism has, it can’t save a rotten project. I think I’ve seen through this wave...

Burning coins? Haha, here we go again. Does anyone really believe that?

Waiting for big whales to save me? Dream on. First, lose your own money before talking.

No matter how many tricks the mechanism has, it can't save worthless tokens. It still depends on real use cases.

This trick is a hundred times a year. Why can't retail investors learn?

Scarcity, haha. As soon as more tokens are issued, it's all a joke.

If there's no price manipulation, no one will watch. The concept of burning should really be banned.

Burning? Ha, same old story. I've seen too many, not a single token can save a trash project.

Destroying is nonsense; issuing more just gets wiped out immediately. Ultimately, it still depends on whether the project can truly be implemented and used.

What a joke about burning tokens; honestly, it's just a new way to scam retail investors.

Destroying is bullshit; frankly, it's just a new disguise for vampires to harvest profits.
