Some community voices are pushing a 20% token buyback narrative that deserves closer scrutiny. Let's break the math: if daily fees hit around 150k, then 20% buyback translates to roughly $30k per day going back to token holders. The remaining 80%? That flows directly to equity shareholders—not into M&A, not into product expansion, nowhere else. The mechanic matters here. Nobody's arguing 97% buyback is mandatory, but when the actual allocation gets unpacked, the priorities become pretty transparent. Worth examining what the real incentive structure looks like beneath the pitch.

Basically, a 20% buyback sounds good, but 80% of it is probably just going into shareholders' pockets. I've heard this kind of rhetoric many times.

Damn, a 20% buyback? Sounds good, but 80% ends up in the shareholders' pockets. That move is truly brilliant.

Hmm... 20% buyback? Just forget about it, 80% directly goes into the shareholders' pockets. That's a very clear calculation.

Don't be fooled by the number 20%. Honestly, it's just the shareholders trying to fatten themselves; the remaining 80% goes straight into their pockets without any discussion.

Basically, it's just another way of saying "harvesting" retail investors: 20% fooling retail investors, 80% pocketing the rest.

20% buyback? Wake up, this is just a new trick to cut leeks
---
Playing the numbers game again, just say 80% flows to shareholders
---
Brothers, do you really believe this? Look carefully, all the real money has gone to equity
---
I just want to ask, how much does this differ from previous promises
---
A typical case of left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, token holders still have to cheer for this
---
No mention of M&A and products makes it a bit suspicious, doesn't it
---
To put it simply, it's about priority ranking, retail investors are still the last in line
