"Are you still holding onto this crappy coin in 2026? Your brain must be hibernating!" I haven't stopped hearing this sentence for half a year. Until last Wednesday morning, my phone vibrated three times in a row. On the other end of the screen was a crying tone: "Bro, is your previous judgment true? I can't hold on anymore, please don't sell first."
I didn't laugh, but I felt a bit of heartache. After all, in the market where Bitcoin plummeted 22% in December and 80% of coins collectively dove, being able to hold onto a certain asset without wavering—what kind of mentality is that? Take LUNC for example, that sideways movement feels more torturous than watching paint dry—more like milk tea that never cools to the perfect temperature. You think waiting one more second will make it drinkable, but the K-line cools even faster, fluctuating around $0.000043 for a long time.
But this is the key point. Those who mock "holding on" actually haven't seen the essence. This isn't blind faith, but a calm choice after understanding the economic model. Those who truly make money in the crypto market are not the ones chasing rallies or panic selling, but those who understand the token mechanisms.
Why is LUNC worth waiting for? The core reason is: deflation. According to on-chain data from early 2026, billions of tokens have already been burned. This is not a gimmick at a certain stage, but a circulating system formed through "community consensus + ecosystem consumption." As long as transactions keep happening, burning will continue, and the circulating supply will only decrease in one direction. This mechanism is completely different from projects sustained by fundraising or marketing—one is real economic operation, the other is a bubble.

Speaking of which, the deflation mechanism is indeed tough, but the key is to endure that painful period.

It sounds like yet another "faith recharge" story, but the deflation mechanism is definitely worth pondering.

Haha, wait a minute, is this for real? Is LUNC still sticking to the deflationary model? I’ve looked at the K-line for a while and it’s definitely not lying.
Wait a bit longer, I think this guy might really see through something.
Honestly, sideways trading is indeed more difficult to endure than a sharp drop, but the mechanism is still there.
Then I’ll also take another look at this deflation logic; it seems it’s not the usual pump-and-dump scheme?
I understand the mindset of coin holders, but I will still consider the risks.
Is it true that hundreds of billions are being burned? Can it be checked on the chain? I need to verify it myself.
This wave of market activity is still too crazy; rational people are actually in the minority.
But you’re right, people who understand the mechanism do make money. I used to be killed by chasing rallies and panic selling.

ngl the deflationary mechanics hit different when you actually run the math on token burn rates... back in my mining days i'd calculate every satoshi like my electricity bill depended on it (spoiler: it did). LUNC's on-chain destruction pattern reminds me why TPS bottleneck analysis matters—garbage projects die when scrutinized, real ones compound quietly while randoms panic sell lmao

I am starting to believe it. The deflationary model's logic indeed holds water.

Really, those who understand the deflation mechanism have already moved on, while others are still shouting about breaking the coin.

Really, I just want to ask—no matter how strong the deflation is, it can't withstand market sentiment. The way LUNC just refuses to rise, I find it hard to watch.

To be honest, looking at that guy's crying tone, he really needs some resolve... But I need to think more about the deflation logic of LUNC. Destroying hundreds of billions sounds intense, but I'm worried it might just be another "destroy with every transaction" dream. Let's see what the on-chain real traffic has to say.

Really, just looking at the deflation mechanism makes it worth waiting for. Don't be fooled by the short-term broken K-line.

The only truth of the deflationary model: understanding this means you win; everything else is noise.
