Only a few days into 2026, and I've already heard many voices promoting the upcoming launch of the clone season. Honestly, it's a bit surprising.

After taking a careful look around, it seems there aren't any projects that must be bought now. The market still revolves around the same old faces.

This actually reflects a change in the trading logic within the crypto space. The operation methods from a few years ago were very straightforward—pick a target, buy the dip during a correction, and hold until the market moves. The cycle was clear, opportunities were obvious, and diamond hands could earn the biggest rewards.

But now, it's different. People's pace is more like switching between market trends and cyclical opportunities. No longer just waiting for a big cycle, but waiting for specific window periods. Funds that can hold steady still exist, but the market's pricing logic has shifted from cyclical linear rewards to pricing based on specific opportunities and nodes. This means the era of blindly buying the dip is over; real gains now come from judging the right opportunity windows.

Shanzhai season? Haha, it's the same old story. It's time to wake up. It's no longer the era where throwing money to buy the dip guarantees a win. Now, it's about who can time it accurately.

Shanzhai season? Haha, I haven't seen many worth buying, they're all just repackaged.

Shanzhai season? Buddy, I think this is all just illusion, nothing real. Blindly bottom-fishing should have died long ago. Now everyone is fighting for those few seconds during the window period. Missing it is just missing it; there's no turning back.

Shanzhai season? Come on, with this market condition, what bottom are you trying to buy?

Shanzhai season? Uh... I don't really feel it, it's still the same old coins circulating. The idea of bottom-fishing during the window period has become tiresome; those truly making money are still benefiting from information asymmetry. Rather than waiting for an opportunity window, it's better to grasp the rhythm of the mainstream. This round of market feels more competitive; retail investors really find it hard to catch. It's politely called a window period, but frankly, it's just a gambler's mentality. Why does it seem like everyone entering the market now is just predicting the future, only to turn out to be armchair strategists afterwards?
