This round of the market is a bit crazy, with various popular coins repeatedly hitting new highs, and the spot market is also heating up.

Remember the end of the last bull market, when all kinds of MEME coins took turns harvesting market liquidity? That was crazy. But this time is different — everyone is talking about when the "Shanzhai Season" will come. Guess what? The Shanzhai Season actually came a long time ago, we just didn't realize it had quietly ended.

The entire rhythm has changed. It's not that there are no opportunities for small coins, but the mechanism has changed. The market is more selective, and the thresholds are higher. The gameplay of this bull market is completely different from the last one.

The meme season ended without anyone noticing, and this is the most heartbreaking part.

The era of altcoins has quietly come to an end—this statement is spot on. Most people are still waiting for the next big trend. It's about time to wake up; the mechanism has indeed changed, and this wave is not like the last one. Really, those still hoping to make quick profits from MEME tokens need to wake up. Exactly, the threshold has really increased, making it harder for small retail investors. This round's rhythm is completely different; the strategy needs to be relearned.

The altcoin season has quietly ended. When you realize it, you've already missed it. Early risers are making a killing, and we're still waiting, which is really bad. This market mechanism is completely different; those who don't understand the new tricks can only watch helplessly. There are still opportunities, but you need to have really sharp eyes.

The era of altcoins has quietly come to an end—what a statement! We're all still waiting for the next big trend, but we've already missed it. Some people are still dreaming of MEME coins skyrocketing, but the market has already changed hands. This wave of gameplay is truly different, with thresholds soaring through the roof. Retail investors need to hit the right points precisely. What seems crazy on the surface actually has logic behind it, unlike the last round which was all gambling. Honestly, those who haven't kept up with the rhythm are probably feeling pretty uncomfortable right now.

The altcoin season ended long ago without us noticing, and this time the gameplay has indeed changed. This round has definitely heated up, but it feels like making money has become even harder. The new highs are only being broken by the mainstream coins; the opportunity window for small-cap coins has already closed. Mechanisms are changing rapidly, and those who can't keep up will be eliminated. Last round, meme coins made a killing, which was really satisfying; this round, the threshold is much higher. I've long sensed that the altcoin season has ended, but no one believes it. The current strategy is to bet on mainstream coins; people are afraid to touch small caps. Breaking new highs is easy, but the risk of getting caught holding the bag is also doubling. I agree; this bull market's rhythm is much more intense than the last one.

To be honest, this time it really feels different. The meme season is long over, and we're still waiting. The market isn't that naive anymore. The standards for selecting coins have definitely been raised. Last round, MEME was fun for harvesting profits, but this round, it's about telling stories, mechanisms, and narratives. The threshold is higher, but the coins that survive are also more valuable, right?
