For the past couple years, crypto “copy trading” has mostly meant one thing: Copying someone’s buy on a meme coin and hoping you catch the pump early. A leaderboard shows a trader who made a lucky 400% move, users pile in to mimic that one moment, and the entire system becomes a reflexive loop of hype and exit liquidity. It’s fast and dopamine-rich — but fundamentally flawed. Mirror trading is the more perfect next generation version.
