Hi guys, I noticed some projects use to burn their token after ICO or after listed on exchanges.
For Example. I got the news on No Bs CRYPTO (Nobs) burning their 75% of the total supply.

What's the advantagess and disadvantages of burning the token?
The idea is that miners/participants should show proof that they burnt some coins i.e., sent them to a verifiably unspendable address. This is expensive from an individual point of view, just like proof-of-work, but it consumes no resources other than the burnt underlying asset.
