@insidersweb3 Short-term it barely touches vol. Long-term it changes the shape of the vol. The 20% is a real market buy, then a burn. Today that’s roughly $60–70k/day of bids, in lumps (a 40 SOL print is ~$4k). $PAID still does $10M–$20M of 24h volume on ~$1.1M liquidity. One afternoon of dumpers overwhelms a week of burns. That’s why you can get a −40% day *while* 22M tokens are getting deleted. The burn is not a circuit breaker. What it does over time: 1. Same sell hits a smaller float. 22M already gone (~2%+ in 5 days). At the current fee clip that’s ~3% of remaining supply per week. A $200k market sell into 962M supply hurts more than the same sell into 1B. 2. The bid is sticky and mechanical. It does not care about funding, KOLs, or candles. It only cares that coins are still pointing fees at UsePaid. On dead tape that bid is a floor-drip. On a squeeze it adds fuel because the protocol is still buying into strength. 3. Vol becomes more fee-reflexive. Weekend volume → fatter claims → fatter burns a few hours later. Quiet days → burns shrink. So $PAID vol starts tracking *creator-fee volume*, not just meme attention. **Examples**…
