#数字资产市场动态 $ASTER From above 0.7 all the way down to around 0.5, watching the account show unrealized losses, many people have already cursed and cut their losses. But I am actually adding to my position here — not out of anger, but because I truly understand this project.

Honestly, short-term volatility is indeed uncomfortable. But take a look at the fundamentals: $30 million in monthly revenue, $1.16 billion in accumulated buybacks. Are these just accounting tricks? Clearly not. Every time there's a dip, the protocol's buyback funds step in to absorb the sell-offs, which is the real bottom support mechanism.

The technical aspect is also interesting. The four-hour chart shows clear divergence in downward momentum, and smart money has already been accumulating near 0.5X. If you’re cutting your losses now, you're directly handing cheap chips to the protocol and institutions.

Most importantly, the narrative is upgrading. Most people still see it as an ordinary Perp DEX token, but the real core is the mainnet launch in Q1. ZK privacy with 100,000 TPS, upgrading directly from DApp to Layer1, the valuation ceiling could multiply several times. Institutions like Multicoin and Pantera have cost ranges from 0.05 to 0.12. At 0.5X, what level of chips can you get? Don’t you have a sense of it?

Unlocking and selling pressure will indeed exist, but the 1.1 billion buyback funds are right there, and those who should buy will still buy. Instead of worrying about how much it drops today, think about the price when the mainnet launches and staking begins.

My choice is simple: HODL. No matter how short-term fluctuations go, I will stay with the project until the Layer1 truly lands and the staking mechanism is activated. Those who look down on me now, compare in half a year — by then, it will be obvious who caught the gains and who missed out.

Friends holding positions are welcome to comment and form a group, those bearish can also come and debate. After all, the future will speak.
