As 2025 wrapped up, crypto found itself underperforming most other asset classes. Now 2026 is kicking off with a different backdrop—growth moderating, inflation easing, liquidity expanding, and policy headwinds intensifying. Does this spell easy gains? Not necessarily. But look at history: this exact environment typically marks the beginning of major repricing cycles, not the end of them.

History tends to repeat itself. Is this time really different? I remain skeptical.

Liquidity expansion is indeed interesting, but how will the policy headwinds be broken?

Here we go again, talking about historical patterns. The last time someone said this...

Wait, does this logic mean now is just the beginning? Then my losses in 2025 will be my tuition fees.

Repricing cycle... sounds good, but I'm just afraid it’s the story that the retail investors love to hear.

Policy headwinds are no small matter. Even the strongest fundamentals can't withstand the big stick of regulation.

History tends to repeat itself. Is this time really different... It still seems to depend on how the central bank plays it.

History has spoken, so why do some people still not believe... Are you ready to buy the dip, everyone?

History always repeats itself. This time, we really should buy the dip, right?
