What should you absolutely not miss in 2026? The answer might not be ETH itself, but rather the meme coins built on ETH.

Looking back at DOGE’s performance in 2016—who could have predicted its later explosion? There’s no need to elaborate on what happened to those who held it during that period.

Now, let’s apply this logic to PEPE. If ETH really enters its expected cycle in 2026, what will happen to those who got in early with meme coins in the ETH ecosystem?

History doesn’t simply repeat itself, but the patterns are often similar. DOGE took several years to go from a joke to a consensus; will PEPE follow a similar path? Whether the market gives this opportunity or not, 2026 might be the answer.

This isn’t a buy call, just laying out the logic. Do you think this comparison holds water?

ETH1.95%

DOGE0.19%

PEPE-0.7%

This logic sounds a bit too good to be true... History never repeats itself in a copy-paste fashion. --- To be honest, that DOGE wave was indeed crazy, but the market is completely different now, and there are way more newbies. --- Meme coins are all about consensus, but the question is, who can guarantee PEPE will still be around in 2026? --- Here we go again, someone tells this story every cycle. Wake up. --- Instead of getting hung up on meme coins, why not think about which project actually has real-world value? --- How many people can really hold for three years without checking the charts? Easier said than done. --- DOGE just got lucky, but PEPE might not. Have you ever considered survivor bias? --- Honestly, I bet a little, but my expectations aren't that high. --- This logic is basically trying to tell us that nobody can predict the market, so we might as well all in. --- Betting on meme coins is pretty much gambling. Do we really have to wait until 2026 to know the answer?

Early DOGE holders really took off, but those chasing PEPE now need to think about whether they're the lucky ones or just bag holders. Meme coins are basically gambling—don't pin all your hopes on history repeating itself. Cycles are unpredictable. 2026 is still a long way off; how can those who are all-in on memes survive until then? The logic in the papers is fine, but execution is hell—most people won't make it to that moment. How long did it take for DOGE to go from a joke to consensus? Can PEPE really wait that long? I definitely can't.

LOL, some people really achieved financial freedom with that DOGE wave, but can PEPE really replicate it? I'm skeptical. Those who got in early made a killing, but the question is, is it still early now? That's a big trap. Meme coins are all about luck, comparing it to DOGE is a bit too optimistic. 2026 is too far away, all I know is that most people chasing now are probably going to be bagholders. Not denying the rhythms are similar, but whether market sentiment can last until then is the real key. Logic is logic, execution is execution—who can predict how many black swans might happen in between? Whether PEPE will become the next DOGE depends on who can hold their nerve.

This logic sounds reasonable, but DOGE was really just lucky back then. Now, with so many meme coins out there, who knows which ones will survive until 2026? Let’s be honest, unless something unexpected happens, it’s basically gambling. PEPE being so popular right now is actually a bit risky... History repeating itself is usually the least likely outcome. How many of the early holders will really have any left? Most of them have already been wiped out. When the next cycle comes, there’s no way to know if it’ll be PEPE or some new coin no one’s heard of that takes off.
