The recent trend in the crypto world is quite interesting. On one side, there's the frenzy of meme coins skyrocketing a hundredfold in a day; on the other side, major mainstream coins are trading sideways at low levels. Over the past few days, fans have been asking me the same question in turn: "Should I follow the trend or hold onto the fundamentals?"

My view is actually very straightforward: don't be fooled by those coins that double in value in a single day. If you ask me, the recent 100 million token burn plan launched by a leading DEX project is truly the real "sleep-easy" opportunity for this year to earn passively.

Let's do some quick calculations. These newly surging coins look fierce, but in reality? Nine out of ten lack even the most basic application scenarios; they are purely driven by hype. Their gains rely on emotions, and when they fall, they become "commemorative coins." A fan once complained to me that he lost half a year's salary in a week just by chasing such coins. I firmly avoid and do not recommend anyone to engage in this "casino-style" gameplay.

Now, look at a certain DEX project. As a key player in the decentralized trading sector, how is its real strength? Its daily trading volume ranks among the top in the industry—that's not just a number. What truly matters is its revenue-generating ability—its daily trading fee income has long reached the million-dollar level. This kind of cash flow capability is beyond the reach of most crypto projects.

So why hasn't the coin price been hot? The problem lies in the token design.

This is a critical point: previously, this project's token had almost no "value feedback" mechanism. In other words, the project made a lot of money, but token holders didn't benefit at all. Under such circumstances, who would be willing to hold long-term? It's normal for the price to stagnate. The recent 100 million token burn is essentially a "correction" to the entire token model, and a clear signal to all holders—that the project team is taking token value seriously.

Burning is just a surface story; the deeper logic is what matters. From an economic perspective, reducing circulating supply directly increases the relative value of each token. But more importantly, it reflects a shift in attitude—the project team is finally seriously considering how to enable token holders to gain real benefits.

A comparison makes this clear. A certain meme coin project, the development team is clueless, the white paper is AI-generated nonsense, and funding information is unverifiable. Would you dare to buy the dip? Conversely, this DEX project has years of trading data available, fee income is verifiable, market position is confirmed, and the burn plan is traceable on-chain. This is the real "tangible and visible" evidence.

In the current market, mindset is very important. Those chasing hot topics always enter late and get caught in the wave of being exploited. Meanwhile, investors who truly understand the fundamentals and are willing to wait are the ultimate winners. So my simple advice is: don't follow the crowd, focus more on financial reports, and understanding the true value of the project is the only long-term way to profit.
