The start of the Kondratiev cycle is often misunderstood. People think that the birth of technology is the starting point, but in reality, the true turning point occurs when—mainstream capital and institutional collective realization—"the old world cannot go back."

Looking at historical milestones makes it clear. The internet existed in the 1990s, but 2000 was the eve of capital flooding in. Going further back, in 1971, the dollar was decoupled from gold, which was the real first spark of the modern financial Kondratiev cycle.

And what about 2026? It is very likely to be the critical year when the world must admit that "the traditional monetary system, the existing financial framework, and the old production relations have become irreversibly obsolete." It’s not some sci-fi singularity, but the moment when the new order is officially recognized by the mainstream world.

The watershed has never been about technology itself. Technology is just a signal. The real choice lies in your hands: are you ready to stand on the side of the new order before the old order collapses?

2026... Still making empty promises, I can't believe you anymore

I'm awake, which is why it's not too late to go all in now. Wait, is 2026 serious... Feeling a bit anxious. History never asks if you're ready; it just crashes over you. That's right, technology emerged way too early, but if no one believes it, it's useless. I buy this logic; the old framework really can't hold up anymore. But on the other hand, how do you know you're on the right team? It's brilliant—comparing 1971 and 2000, details determine everything. The pressure of 2026 is coming... gotta accelerate and get on board. This is what I've been saying all along: the gap in cognition equals the gap in wealth. It feels like it's not just about technology, but the entire power game.

Oh no, it's that same "Turning Point in 2026" narrative again. Hearing it so often really gets tiring. Wait, actually, this logic hits the mark... Capital awakening is the real engine, not the technology itself. Honestly, the 2000 internet wave did prove that, but dare to bet on 2026? It feels too specific and might easily backfire. There are many people trying to position themselves now, all claiming they've chosen the right side. Who knows when the critical year arrives? --- Isn't this just about not missing the opportunity? Old trick, brother. --- That idea from 1971 is quite fresh. From the perspective of the financial system itself, Kondratiev waves are much more reliable than just pure technology theories. --- I don't really believe the phrase "in your hands." Most people actually have no choice... --- So, what does it really mean to be on the right side now? That's the real question.

Is the selling point 2026? I'm wondering when mainstream capital can reach a consensus... This has never been a unified effort.

All the selling points are on the 2026 timestamp, dare to bet or not. --- Technology is just a cover, the key is when big capital will collectively shift. I buy into this logic. --- That clue from 1971 was incredible, it instantly connected the dots in financial history. --- Instead of worrying about when the new order will arrive, better to ask yourself which side you're on now. It's a showdown. --- 2026... this prediction is too harsh. Hopefully, it's not just another New Year’s resolution. --- It sounds nice, but frankly, it’s still about redistributing wealth before a new cycle. --- The gap between the internet bubble and the frenzy, most people died while waiting and watching. --- The hardest part is that the gap between realizing the old stuff is useless and truly going all-in on the new stuff is the entire human nature. --- Capital won't voluntarily admit failure; it will only be forced to recognize it. That’s the cruel reality. --- Exactly, the true signal of the Kondratiev wave has never been the publication of technical papers, but when the first big money actually flows in.

nah the tech thesis is dead, it's always been about institutional adoption timings. 1971 to 2000 to 2026... the pattern's pretty obvious if you know where to look. what's wild is most people still think they're early when they're just betting on the same momentum everyone else sees lol
