The fate of some deflationary tokens is indeed quite helpless. In the early stages, everyone was enthusiastic, but later holders started to hoard without trading — waiting for others to trade and destroy the supply. So what happened? No one was willing to buy or sell, trading volume steadily declined, and the destruction mechanism also became ineffective. The price got stuck in a certain range, slowly depreciating day after day. By the time people realize it, it’s already well below the previous high. Projects like aidoge are living examples of this ultimate fate. Frankly speaking, this design logic itself is flawed — overly relying on trading behavior to sustain the mechanism. Once consensus weakens, the entire model collapses.

It's the same old trick; early buyers all become the manipulators, and in the end, it's just the retail investors holding the bag.

They're all self-made pits, and yet they blame gravity.

Hoarding coins waiting for others to trade? Isn't this just hot potato? Eventually, you'll be the one holding the bag.

It's the same old trick—hoarding coins and waiting for them to be burned, but in the end, everyone becomes a trapped victim.

This is a typical death spiral, which can be seen from the trading volume data. Holders are waiting for the burn, and when no one trades, the burn mechanism becomes ineffective, leading to fewer and fewer transactions. The logic behind the computing power network faces the same problem; ultimately, it depends on actual interaction frequency, not just token design.

Isn't this just trapping yourself? Waiting for destruction until the end of time.

According to my analysis, this is a classic "sit and wait to die" script—big players are waiting for others to take the bait, but no one is making a move, and the destruction mechanism has become just a decoration. I had already seen the tragic situation of AIDOGE in the on-chain data; trading volume has plummeted, and now no one dares to act.
