The UXLINK community vote approved a plan called "Buyback and Strategic Reserves." Starting from December, the project will regularly use its earnings each month to buy back its own tokens, with each buyback not less than 1% of the total supply, then lock the tokens into the reserve pool.

On the surface, it sounds like a standard phrase of "value return and boosting token price." But digging deeper, the timing of this move is quite interesting.

Remember the recent market trend? The rally was fierce, and any white paper or ecosystem plan could easily attract new funds to chase after. At that time, project teams were busy telling stories and making pie-in-the-sky plans, with no one thinking about doing buybacks, locking in chips, or providing real benefits to the community—only now, when the market has cooled and retail investors are trapped, do they suddenly pull out the "buyback positive" card.

This tactic is familiar: truly dedicated projects start accumulating their reserves during bull markets—continuously buy back when the market is good, suppress selling pressure, and provide tangible benefits to token holders. Instead of waiting until most people are forced to sell at a loss and then claiming it's part of a "strategic deployment."

From another perspective, it's like a pancake vendor at the market—during cheap times, flour and eggs are low-cost, but they often shortchange customers; when prices rise and foot traffic decreases, they suddenly advertise "extra toppings today, selling at a loss." Do you think they are genuinely losing out, or just trying to clear inventory quickly?

For retail investors, a few key points need to be clarified:

① The buyback mechanism itself is fine, but the timing of execution reveals the true intention.

② The choice between bull and bear markets exposes the project team's priorities.
