Recently, I looked through the trending rankings of major crypto wallets, and there's an interesting phenomenon—among the top 15 popular coins, Chinese tokens have already taken an absolute lead, with only two English tokens remaining.

New coins like Trump, Laozi, and Dark Horse are particularly hot, with 24-hour trading volumes exceeding 10 million USD. Judging by this trend, it does resemble the period around 2016—when projects like Monkey Treasure, Penguin Coin, Monkey Coin, and Shark Coin were everywhere.

The hot topics in the crypto world seem to follow this cycle—after a couple of years, a new concept emerges, and the same story repeats. How long this Chinese coin craze will last depends on when market sentiment cools down.

TRUMP-3,13%

老子7,7%

Another round of rug pulls, this time under a different guise. History always repeats itself, it all depends on who is greedier. Dare to use the name Trump Coin? Aren't you afraid of exploding? What happened to those coins from 2016? Asking, they all went to zero. Chinese coin craze? I bet it will cool down in a month. How much of those trading volume numbers are fake? Don't you have a sense of it? Really, every time it's the same, never learning from lessons. Just looking at these project names, you can tell the ending.

It's the same old trick. I just now realize the lesson from the 2016 monkey coin wave. Wait, is Trump Coin trending? I hadn't heard about it yesterday. History really is repeating itself, just with a different Chinese disguise.

What happened to the coins from 2016? Do you have no idea? Haha Will Trump Coin meet the same fate? Let's wait and see. Oh no, why are all these Chinese tokens full of pun-based names? So funny. Here comes another cycle of cutting leeks. Oh my goodness. Laozi, Black Horse, these names are really ridiculous. I'm just watching, not buying.

Oh no, I've seen those coins from 2016. Going through them again really makes me tired of it. Can Trump Coin really stabilize? Based on my analysis, the big wallets over there have already started selling off. Chinese coins in the top 15? That must be intense, it just feels like a rebranding game. Wait, which two English tokens are those? Why haven't they been overwhelmed yet? Market sentiment cooling down might be more accurate than my prediction... haha. This cycle is a bit harsh, always the same trick of putting old wine in new bottles.

Here we go again. This wave of Chinese coins is just the same old trick from last year, taking advantage of the hype, one round after another. History always repeats itself, and the same group of retail investors keeps getting caught. Trump and those guys, breaking 10 million in 24 hours? Honestly, it's just an emotional market. Stay calm, stay calm. Looks familiar, I was already caught in the trap during the Monkey Treasure wave. How long will this cycle last? Anyway, I don't believe it anymore. Chinese coins really are taking the lead, while English coins are pushed into the corner? Feels good. Don't just look at the trending rankings; you need to see where the real liquidity is. History is truly a repeat machine. The 2016 playbook is being used again—whoever can be fooled, will be fooled.
