History always repeats itself.



According to the latest disclosure from the U.S. Treasury Secretary, the United States plans to distribute up to $2,000 in cash refunds to each household in early 2026, with an expected injection of $100-150 billion in liquidity into the market in the first quarter. This signal instantly rekindled memories of the pandemic phase in 2020—when the Federal Reserve and the Treasury's combined efforts flooded the market with large amounts of dollars, retail investors holding cash, and cryptocurrencies becoming the hottest allocation target.

During that period of aggressive liquidity, small coins like SHIB and DOGE attracted countless new retail investors. Now it seems that the same scenario may unfold again in 2026. As long as liquidity is sufficient, risk assets will attract renewed attention.

More importantly, new signals have also emerged from the regulatory front. The SEC has confirmed a shift in its regulatory stance towards the crypto industry, sending a significant reassurance signal to market participants.

Considering both policy liquidity and regulatory expectations, the roadmap for the next bull market appears to be taking shape. Who will benefit from this wave of gains will depend on individual strategies and timing.
SHIB-3.95%
DOGE0.6%

Is the 2020 drama about to repeat itself? I have no coins in hand, so I can only watch the show. It's about liquidity again, and regulatory shifts—is this time really different? Wait, has the SEC's attitude really shifted? Or are they just fooling us again? Will I get cut again if I jump in now? Should I buy BTC or go all-in on altcoins if I receive 2000 yuan? Every time they say the bull market is coming, but what happens? It all depends on whether that 150 billion in early 2026 will really pour into the market. Regulation should have come earlier; I'm tired of being cut repeatedly. Something's off—why does the US government seem more dangerous when they're so generous? I've heard this story of history repeating itself too many times.

In 2020, I didn't manage to bottom out, and in 2026, I might not be able to either. It still depends on talent. --- It's another liquidity story. Retail investors are most excited when it's the beginning of a cut. --- SEC turning? I just want to know how long this turn can last. --- Every time, they say the bull market roadmap is emerging, but my wallet always stays in the same place. --- What can I do with 2000 yuan in cash back? Buy a meme coin for fun? --- History repeats itself. Last time, I was confident and solemn, and now? It's just a mess. --- When liquidity is abundant, risk assets rise. Anyone can say that logic, but the key is to survive until that day. --- Compared to dividends, I care more about whether my principal is still there.

Laughing to death, here we go again with the same script. Can we dodge the chopping of leeks this time? In 2026, more liquidity will be injected. Better get on board quickly. Those who didn't buy the dip last time shouldn't miss out again. The expected regulatory shift—do you believe it? Anyway, I'll just hold and see. When liquidity flows in, retail investors start to sleepwalk, and SHIB will go on another crazy ride. Timing is everything. Whether we can bet right this time depends on luck. History repeats itself but prices are different. Will beginners still pay tuition this time? Is the Federal Reserve's money really that easy to make? Feels a bit too smooth. A cash rebate of 2000 yuan—most people will still succumb to temptation. If we get chopped again this wave, it's really time to reflect on our decisions.

Is history repeating itself? Don't be silly. This time, the risk will be different. In 2020, even beginners made a killing. Are people still that naive now... Has the regulatory attitude really shifted? Let's wait and see. There are too many nice words. The money is coming, but those who buy the dip are just the chopped-up leeks. I can't bet on that.

Is the script from 2020 about to be replayed? Holding cash and waiting to be cut like a leek --- Wake up, the Federal Reserve's liquidity injections have never been for retail investors' benefit --- Liquidity has arrived, but who will be the leek in this round of the crypto world is still uncertain --- Is the era of SHIB's comeback here? I'll wait and see --- Regulatory shift? Ha, I've heard that phrase too many times --- Cash back of $2000, going all-in on crypto? Dream on --- History repeating itself? Every time, some make money while others get trapped --- Will DOGE in 2026 show off again? It depends on luck --- Plenty of liquidity equals a bull market? That's naive, everyone --- The problem is the big players have already eaten up, retail investors are just the right ones to take over --- Trust the SEC's shift? Or just watch and wait --- This redistribution of dividends will ultimately be won by big capital
