Some projects claim to stabilize prices through buybacks and burns, but the reality is often different. When a project faces massive unlocking pressure, the official buyback plans are usually just superficial. What is the true situation behind the scenes? The team is very likely gradually selling off in secret, which is a common tactic in the industry.

For tokens with a total supply around 10 billion or more, the market’s capacity to absorb such large amounts is limited. Newcomers to the crypto space are easily swayed by stories of buybacks and burns, but experienced investors know better — they wait and see. If they must participate, they wait until the price drops enough or the unlocking cycle is fully completed before considering. Take Algo as an example; such billion-level tokens will eventually test prices below 0.1. This is not a prediction, but a market law.

Buyback and burn is just a joke; the team still ships tokens Waiting until the price hits rock bottom to buy in—that's the right way Hundred-billion-level cryptocurrencies cannot escape the fate of zeroing out; Algo is a prime example Novices are fooled by the stories, while seasoned veterans have already cashed out completely

Buyback and burn? Haha, same old trick, newcomers are most likely to fall for it. Wait until the unlock is complete, there are no exceptions for billion-dollar tokens. The team talks about buybacks while secretly dumping, I see through it. Algo has to drop below 0.1, that's just the pattern. The tricks to deceive newbies, experienced players are well aware of them. Once the unlock cycle is out, the story is over.

nah, the "buyback narrative" is just theater tbh. watched enough projects pull this move to know exactly how it plays out—they pump the story while dumping on the low key.

Buyback and burn? Haha, it's all just empty promises. The team has already quietly offloaded in the basement. Just wait and see, don't fall for the rookie trap. A 10 billion coin project is basically a dead end; it will eventually hit bottom.

Buyback and burn sounds great, but the truth is the team is just dumping --- Newbies are most often scammed by this, just wait and see --- A hundred-billion market cap will eventually break 0.1, not my words, it's a rule --- No matter how good the official explanation sounds, when the unlocking wave comes, it will still plummet --- Algo is textbook-level coin sniping, I advise you not to touch it --- The market simply can't absorb that many coins, what are you waiting for? --- It's pure suicide to buy such coins before full unlocking, don't ask me how I know --- Wait until the drop is severe enough before considering, otherwise you'll just be a bagholder --- Can't defend against the dump tactics, just wait, anyway you can't run --- Buyback is just a cover, wake up everyone

Buyback and burn? Haha, just the old trick again. Selling secretly is the real truth. Don't be fooled. Wait until the price drops to a fracture level before buying in, no loss.
