Take a look at the historical trajectories of those Meme coins, and it's not hard to see a pattern repeating itself.
In 2014, DOGE evolved from a joke into a legend. At that time, few people took it seriously, but it has survived until today and has become one of the most recognizable symbols in the crypto world.
2021 was the stage for SHIB. This coin created a myth of 260,000x growth, in a sense redefining what "small coin reversal" means. From obscurity to top-tier status, the speed was jaw-dropping.
In 2023, PEPE sparked another wave. Every time such coins rise, they are accompanied by discussions about "narratives."
Now, looking back to 2026. The market is cyclical, and new stories are being woven. Each hot spot in the Meme sector points to the same issues—cognitive gaps, entry timing, and the courage to make decisions. The fluctuations of these coins essentially reflect participants' understanding of market trends.
Ultimately, the question comes down to the individual: this time, are you an observer or a participant? In the reenactment of history, the power to choose has always been in your hands.

Starting to tell stories again, but I still choose to wait and see, and act after the next confirmed signal.

Honestly, I want to laugh every time I hear this kind of excuse. Who doesn't want to win the bet? The problem is that most people are betting on other people's stories, not their own.

ngl the real pattern here isn't the coins, it's the governance collapse that enables them. every cycle just exposes how fragile these systems actually are

Here we go again with this theory of historical cycles... But honestly, that wave of SHIB was really crazy. Still waiting for the next PEPE.

Honestly, I really missed out on that SHIB wave. Looking back now, I still feel a bit regretful, but I don't regret it entirely. After all, who could have imagined a 26,000,000x increase back then? Not really, right?

It's the same old story, telling the same story every round, but how many people actually make a profit?

Oh no, it's the same story again. Every time they say history repeats itself, and yet I still missed out.

It's the same old story again, always talking about history repeating itself and having the choice in your hands... When it really comes down to the critical moment, you still have to rely on luck.

Basically, it's just gambling on human nature, always the same old tricks...
