Could you elaborate on the concept of "coin burning" in the realm of cryptocurrency? I've heard it mentioned in a few forums but have yet to fully grasp its implications. Is it a mechanism to reduce the overall supply of a particular coin? Does it have a direct impact on the coin's value? I'm curious to understand how this practice fits into the broader crypto ecosystem and whether it's a common or niche strategy. Your insight would be greatly appreciated.

One of the primary reasons for token burning is proof-of-burn, a consensus mechanism where coins are destroyed to validate transactions.

Additionally, burning tokens can help increase the value of the remaining coins by reducing the overall supply. This scarcity drives up demand and potentially leads to price appreciation.
