Looking back over the past few years, DOGE has surged 300 times, SHIB has experienced a 26,000-fold rally, and PEPE has also seen astonishing gains. Whenever these moments pass, the market begins to ask where the next dark horse will be. Recently, discussions within the community about a certain name have been growing louder—the PUPPIES meme coin concept associated with Elon Musk.

Why might this time be different? The background is indeed quite interesting. This project comes from the original core team of SHIB, taking two years to refine, and it’s not simply a copycat. It has undergone extreme market stress testing, which has only strengthened consensus. The first three waves have already accumulated 30x to 100x energy, and the main upward wave of the fourth seems to be brewing.

The macro environment is also worth paying attention to. Non-farm payroll data and CPI trends in 2026 will create market volatility. Expectations of rate cuts are still heating up, and the dollar is searching for a bottom. Meanwhile, institutions like BlackRock are making real investments in BTC, signaling that the entire blockchain sector’s dividend period is beginning to show. Institutions are setting the stage and narrating the story, indicating that this cycle indeed has institutional participation.

From a Kondratiev wave perspective, the crypto market in 2026 might be in a favorable position. Whether to miss out or to fully jump in this time depends on your judgment of this cycle.

DOGE-3.67%

SHIB-1.32%

PEPE-2.74%

BTC1.55%

SHIB core team production, this time it's different. Two years of polishing truly pays off. --- It's the story of another dark horse. Believe it or not, I have to watch the K-line to decide. --- BlackRock is getting serious. Will retail investors follow this wave? --- 30 to 100 times energy accumulation... sounds impressive, but is it just another storytelling tactic? --- Macro rate cut expectations + institutional entry, 2026 might really have something. --- From the original SHIB team, this endorsement is quite solid, but we still need to watch the market. --- The main upward wave is brewing. Get ready to be cut, everyone. --- Institutions set the stage, retail investors perform—an eternal story. --- Non-farm payrolls, CPI, rate cuts... all variables, impossible to predict the trend. --- 30 times to 100 times? That depends on how many small retail investors' dreams are piled up.

Are they coming to cut the leeks again? Can we really trust the SHIB team’s endorsement? --- When DOGE rose 300 times, I was already in. Is this time really different... --- I missed the 26,000,000x SHIB, but I learned a lesson --- Elon Musk concept coins... they say that every time, but what’s the result? --- Two years of polishing? Or just two years of laying the groundwork for cutting the leeks --- I believe in institutional entry into BTC, but PUPPIES? Come on, brother --- Kondratiev cycle until 2026? Why not say 2027 is even more perfect haha --- The fourth wave of main upward trend... every project talks about this --- Actually, the fact that it’s from the original SHIB team makes me more cautious, understand? --- The next dark horse is always in the next one. I’ll just wait and see --- The macro narrative of rate cuts and dollar bottoming... I’ve heard it all before --- Once the 100x energy is fully accumulated, it’s time to sell, right?

Still talking about the dark horse story, this narrative has been played out for three years now. The core team of SHIB? Brother, are you sure? I haven't heard of them. I missed the 26,000x opportunity, and I definitely won't go all in this time. I believe in the macro positive outlook, but I need to take another look at PUPPIES. Elon Musk concept coins follow this routine—just listen and don't take it seriously. Two years of polishing sounds good, but in the crypto world, there's a new project every day. Who remembers the last one? Expectations of interest rate cuts rising ≠ altcoins' gains. Stay alert, everyone. Institutions setting the stage and narrating the story? Isn't that just a fancy way of saying big players are harvesting retail investors? Kondratiev wave cycle? Basically, it's gambling luck—I trust technical analysis more. Missed the first three waves of 30 to 100x, and now you want to turn around in the fourth? Laughable. I've seen articles like this in every bull market. In the end, those who profit are the early entrants.

Once again, this narrative... SHIB team, two years of polishing, energy accumulation, it all sounds like the story from the previous cycle. --- The number 260,000x dazzles me, but how many people actually made money? --- Interest rate cuts, institutional布局, Kondratiev cycle—no matter how full these macro logics are, they can't change the fate of retail investors. --- The first three waves of accumulation were so fierce, can the fourth wave really lead the main upward trend? You have to be pretty optimistic to believe that. --- How many times has the original SHIB team played this card? Every time, it's a new concept, always a story. --- Honestly, the Musk concept has too much hype; most of the speculators jumping in are just bagholders. --- While macroeconomic conditions are favorable, when will the crypto market truly crash to show how虚虚虚 it is?

Don't just talk about the SHIB core team; the ones who are really making money have already stepped in. Wait, the idea of the first three waves of energy accumulation... sounds very familiar, PEPE said the same thing back then. I just want to know how the liquidity of PUPPIES is, whether it can be sold out. Macroeconomic positives are everywhere, but it's better to look at trading volume to judge. I believe in institutions entering BTC, but when it comes to small altcoins? Hehe, it's just a game for retail investors to be the bagholders.
