Remember the missed wave of DOGE in 2014? When SHIB suddenly exploded in 2021, many people once again missed out on the gains. By 2023, the rise of PEPE has caused many holders to reflect—why do we keep repeating the same mistakes in every cycle of the crypto market?
This phenomenon actually reflects the regularity of Meme coins in the market. Every few years, a new token becomes the focus, attracting a wave after wave of participants. Some say it's a bubble, while others believe it reflects genuine market demand.
With 2026 approaching, will the pattern of history repeat itself? Who's story will be told this time may depend on your market judgment and execution. In any case, the cyclical nature of the cryptocurrency market is becoming more and more evident. Whether to seize the opportunity or continue to watch from the sidelines, the choice is in your hands.

Uh... talking about missing out again, but honestly, the people who always say "this time is different" end up cutting their losses the fastest.
Those who can judge early have already won by default, and those still reflecting are basically out of the game.
What are we waiting for in 2026? Now is the real opportunity to scoop up undervalued assets.

Honestly, I haven't successfully bottomed out these times, always getting in late... Now looking at how PEPE has skyrocketed, I feel regretful.
Is it happening again? It feels like I keep stepping into the same traps every time. When will I learn?
It's really just a cycle of greed and fear. Missed out, then want to chase; chase, then get trapped.
That DOGE wave was really a dream. If only I had gone all in back then... But hindsight is 20/20 for everyone.
Will there be another round in 2026? Ultimately, luck still plays a part.
Sounds like me—always realizing things too late, the market is always one step ahead of me.

Honestly, instead of obsessing over what was missed, think about where the next PEPE is. I don't believe history really repeats itself that way.

Am I going to miss out on this wave again? It's truly despairing... It's always like this, watching others celebrate
DOGE, SHIB, PEPE... I remember the names, but my wallet is still empty. Am I a genius?
Instead of stressing over what I missed, I should think about who will be the dark horse in 2026... But to be honest, I don't know either
Every cycle says this time is different, but in the end, it's the same old story. We are just the leek harvesters
Wait, could the next Meme coin be right in front of me? I haven't even noticed yet
Honestly, this pattern is too heartbreaking. Who can truly grasp the trend?
Instead of regretting, it's better to start researching now. At least I can't be empty-handed again

actually... the real question isn't which meme coin pumps next, it's why we keep trusting sentiment-driven speculation over any actual cryptographic primitives or utility, ngl

This wave is just the blood and tears of the newcomers. Every time they say this time is different, but it's still the same old tricks.
Honestly, it's all caused by FOMO mentality. Always trying to buy the dip but ending up buying in the middle of the climb.
What does 2026 matter? If you're going to lose, you're going to lose. Wake up, everyone.

Honestly, it's always like this... DOGE, SHIB, PEPE... we're just like a parrot repeating the same thing.
Really, don't always think about what the next one will be; the problem is that execution power is simply not enough.
2026? Who knows, anyway I've already learned to cut losses.
I've been very optimistic about this wave of meme coins, feeling like it's just a cycle of harvesting the leek.
But speaking of which, if you could really bottom fish that kind of feeling... just thinking about it makes me excited.

To be honest, DOGE, SHIB, PEPE... I've seen this routine so many times. It's always the same people getting cut, I mean those retail investors chasing the highs. What about 2026? It still depends on information advantage and execution speed. There's nothing magical about it.
