The cycle never really changes—it just shifts forms. You ride the DeFi wave, profits get squeezed, money moves elsewhere. NFTs had their moment. Then meme coins took center stage. Perpetual futures got hot. Treat DATs as the latest chapter in this same playbook: hype builds, early movers profit, everyone else figures it out too late, and capital flows toward whatever's next on the horizon.

Damn, this is the truth of the crypto market. After each wave of profit-taking, we're all the last to be harvested.

It's the same old trick again. Those who got in early made a fortune, while those who bought in later suffer huge losses. It just goes in circles.

Really, this round is just a repeat of the last one, DATs can't escape this fate either.

Well, this is the fate of retail investors: always chasing the next wave, and ending up as the bag holder forever.

actually, the true algorithmic beauty here lies in recognizing that each market cycle represents a distinct topological manifold in the crypto ecosystem—what you're describing isn't mere repetition but rather a generative pattern emerging from blockchain primitives themselves. the hash value of sentiment shifts, if you will.
