Is CAKE Heading into Vietnam to Sell Snacks? Digging Into the Real Financial Truth Behind This “Insane” Move
I heard that CAKE is going to sell snacks in Vietnam, but every time I see their merchandise, I end up having to pay for it, and I can’t help but laugh. Looking across the entire crypto world, when other project teams hold activities, their merchandise is given away for free as perks—while they are “unique” in that they even reach out to ask fans for money for merchandise. That whole look-and-feel is honestly a bit ridiculous, haha.
But jokes aside, CAKE’s days ahead are probably going to be a bit hard to manage. Many retail investors only look at the surface-level numbers and think that the recent burn amount hasn’t really decreased, so everything seems fine. But what about the reality? Profits have quietly been shrinking. Last week’s profit was down to only 3.9 million, and this week I estimate it will be around 3 million as well—struggling. The apparent prosperity from burns can’t hide the predicament of a real decline in earning ability.
Many people are puzzled: if profits have dropped, why can burns still be maintained? To put it simply, it’s just “living off the old.” The still-high burn rate being maintained right now is only using the old money saved in the wallet (buffer funds), not a reflection of the current real business’s ability to generate cash. It’s like your salary has gone down, but you rely on spending money you saved before to keep up appearances—how long can that last?
The key moment now is waiting for the final trading volume data to be released. Only when we see where the true bottom line of trading volume lies can we estimate more accurately where the lowest point of CAKE’s profits this time will appear.
In the end, what does a platform like CAKE rely on? Isn’t it just making money from the market’s volatility? If there isn’t any dramatic fluctuation and everyone doesn’t trade, then what would they take a cut from? So don’t get too hung up on the Vietnam snacks or the paid merchandise—the core issue is still whether it’s a bear market. If the bear market in the broader environment causes the market to lose volatility, then CAKE’s slump is inevitable. There’s nothing more to say—recognize the essence and wait patiently for the cycle. $CAKE3L #Gate广场四月发帖挑战
