			<description><![CDATA[I’m trying to evaluate a potential investment in a new layer-1, and their whitepaper keeps emphasizing the token’s **deflationary tokenomics** as the main driver for long-term value.

Has anyone actually seen a project where a decreasing supply model successfully sustained price during a prolonged bear market, without other fundamentals?]]></description>
