ALT

AKFree2022

ALT narratives projected to do well this cycle include: AI, gaming, and RWA. Layer 1’s tend to be a safe bet as well.

You said very clearly the thoughts that were in my head when I bought my first crypto only a few months ago. I have half of my money in BTC, but part of me has continued to wonder why BTC is so popular and ALTs lag. I have the rest of my investment spread out between XRP, HBAR, ADA, SOL and ETH, because I have no idea which ALT could "win the war". At some point, crypto has be start being used as currency....right? I don't see BTC being able to do that any more than gold can be used as a currency. It's just not transactional. I'm still thinking that at some point, the need for transactional speed will cause ALTs to gain traction. I wish I understood the underlying mechanics better so I could figure out which ones were better poised to be "the one". So until then, I'll just spread the wealth and continue mostly in BTC, with the other half in ALTs.

kellzone

That means IT'S ALT SEASON, BABY! ^^^Please

23826

Maybe the rest of market is staring to realize all 15,000+ ALTs are just vaporware, and the world will continue on just fine without them. Seriously, wtf do we need 15,000 different ALT coins for? Oh yah, to transfer wealth to all the founders and their early investors. That's all they are good for at this point. Lol

You don't have to live like this. There is better way > *"My bag full of alts is tired boss"* > - Do you know that only a handful of Alts make ATHs again the next cycle? > - Do you know that there has never been an ALT that has made ATH in 3 cycles? > - Do you know that most Alts reach 20% to 60% of their ATH in the 2nd cycle and then bleed out to oblivion? > - Do you know that long term, every Alt loses out to BTC? > - Do you know that you almost never make back money the same way you lost it? > - So who is forcing you to hold Alts? https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1fdwqsx/daily_crypto_discussion_september_11_2024_gmt0/lmmvh06/

RegionBusiness6969

I will not. Your Alts are going to 0 eventually. Refer to any ALT/BTC chart. Everything bleeds to BTC.

biba8163

Falling ALT/BTC ratio is pretty much a law of physics at this point. But XRP holding up much better than ETH at $100+ Billion marketcaps is just funky. I really think Ripple is actively involved in to make XRP overtake ETH in marketcap. 1. We already know Ripple manipulates prices by trying to pump creating FOMO and also buying trying to create price support 2. Is it so fart fetched to think Ripple might be involved in the record shorts of ETH? > Ripple is purchasing – and may continue to purchase – XRP to support healthy markets. https://ripple.com/insights/q3-2020-xrp-markets-report/ > (Ripple) purchased $45 million worth of XRP in order to “support healthy markets” and that it may continue to engage in this activity in the future. https://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2020/comp-pr2020-338.pdf > Ripple Bought $8.4B XRP Since SEC Lawsuit ‘To Support Healthy Markets’ https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/10sv2h7/ripple_bought_84b_xrp_since_sec_lawsuit_to/

Bro is looking at 54 seconds graph lol. Who is 'we' and how come you are 'in the green'. Biggest ALT ethereum is down 51.75%  in last 90 days in the moment of writing this post. If you hold only BTC you are down 'only' 12.5% in last 90 days. Still pretty far from 'we are still in the green'. We are not green since 1st week in December. Market was 3.71 trillion back then. Not it is sitting at 2.57 trillion. If you will find somebody to pump 1.2 trillion to crypto market then we can talk about 'we are still green'. Do you know somebody?

FiatFree

90 days should be enough for an ALT season

Mountain-Mix7001

Stop trading so much. Only buy big names. Set sells for 5% below ALT and wait. Set buys at +40% of your sell and take half of your profit as cash. Your welcome

Distinct-Hold7796

You have no idea what a true ALT season looks like. Yes, I took some profits, glad I did that. Was waiting for an euphoric ALT season (at least as half as the last one), which has never come.

MajoraAfterMidnight

Nothing wrong with calculated risk as long as you only invest what you’re willing to lose. I treat ALT coins like a casino lol

ProKoyote

Sorry if I can across as judgy, not my intention. In times of bear markets & downturns, yes, everything is linked to BTC, but worse. That’s why you see all these alts bleeding 7-8% when BTC bleeds 5%. Some alts will randomly go up because of some random groundbreaking news, or a pump and dump / exchange listing. People are desperate for profits, so you might see a few random coins pop (usually memes). Obviously there are exceptions and this is general, but here’s the BTC / ALT relation: BTC go up a ton, consolidation at high point THEN Alts may rally while BTC consolidates, “alt season” BTC go down a ton, consolidation at low point THEN Alts continue to bleed vs BTC can go down more than BTC. This is just my experience from the years.

Are we still hoping an ALT season? Or is it finally over?

FiatFree

If there isn't going to be an ALT season this cycle, would there be a future for ALTs?

Actual_Lab8621

Plenty of coins have fallen significantly from their ALT this cycle. Even the big boys. BTC is down 30%, Eth is down 42% and Cardano is down 76%. Pi just launched to market. The fact it is still holding in the top 30 over a month out of launch in a down market is astounding.

JayHent1664

We haven’t seen a ALT run yet, pray for it.

RefrigeratorLow1259

ADA, just getting listed on Coinbase Derivatives for Futures Trading! The most decentralised, scalable and secure ALT - ZERO downtime !

FiatFree

If market recovers (BTC stays above 100K) and an ALT season really happens only for some coins, which are the coins you think would perform well?

Local_Chart_8546

Okay. Just bought my first 4K of it yesterday. I still don’t really understand it but helps with diversification and I think bitcoin itself is stable enough. I’ll still stay away from ALT coins though.

scrape_ur_face

Or if you want to triple your gp by dropping it and ALT+F4

bodog9696

Sorry. The word is out. It's all a SCAM. 1. "CTRL+" FOUNDERS CONTROL & MANIPULATE THE SPOT PRICES. "CTRL+" 2. "ALT+" ALTERIOR MOTIVES REVEALED BY SCAM ARTISTS LAUNCHING COINS TO SCAM & CHEAT GOOD PEOPLE. "ALT+" 3...What comes after CTRL+ALR+ ?? Oh yeah. "DEL" CTRL+ALT+DEL = GAME OVER, MAN! GAME OVER! Hopefully you backed your seed phrase. Not the bogus 12 word phrase you've been told secures your funds. The ONLY seed phrase that you need to worry about is = "YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!"

trucker-123

Are ALT coins lower than before Trump won the presidential election? Just a quick look at Solana, and it was trading at $140 range before Trump won the presidency. Now it's at $120. Seems like the ALT market is lower right now than when Trump won the presidential election?

Quirky-Carpenter-511

not every cycle is the same and this cycle really have not ended yet. maybe even just started. I believe we will see BTC hit all time high around 180/200k per coin. as for the ALT season it will come also sometime this year we just have to be patient and not buy MEMEs like those of trumps and melinas. (which I did and now regret T\_T only 600$ tho so not a lot)

Agreed, glad to hear you had the time to make the move to lower risk assets. I do have some ALT's in my portfolio, and they certainly are bleeding, but I still have the power to close the screens and forget about it for the time it takes, same as you, been here, done this.

ALT season is coming once their attempt to scare you out of the market by manipulation is complete

what was the promising ALT?

jwz9904

XRP has been the impressive ALT

Distinct-Hold7796

That's your perspective, which unsupported by facts- most utility alt could be have values, and their parabolic price actions occurs only in a span of werk or two. Zoom out, and you should be able to see, if you are not having eye issues. When the ALT market will fly against, come read your comment back, which is not going to age well :)

DextrorsaL

You know we only pumped from 95k because of the trump on sol rally and it pumped all of crypto that whole pump right there was premature … wasn’t meant to happen it was supposed to happen now … so ofc they cleaning up on all the people who couldn’t read it just watch I can’t predict the price to rebuy back in so I don’t play that game but I’ll tell you right now this is not the top for BTC or ALT coins in general not for this year .

Jayrovers86

Listen whether you like it or not, ETH is an ALT coin. It’s the ORIGINAL Altcoin. Why does that offend you?

Jayrovers86

ETH is an ALT coin it’s the original Altcoin why does thst hurt your feelings?

robsterlobster69

Holy smokes ETH/BTC just printed a 4% candle on the daily and gaining. ALT season soon?

Jayrovers86

I’m a convert, I was a degen and only an ALT holder from start of 21 to 24. The fact over the last 3 months, the best performing asset has been SUI around 35% down over the three months most are around 50-60% you cannot argue that Alts have been worth holding the last three months. It’s way more likely they drop another 35-85% than they have of 2x

Fluffy-Space-290

Welcome to ALT season!

RefrigeratorLow1259

ADA and HBAR leading the weekly. 36% and 27%. BTC -2%...ALT season dawning?

EirianWare

is ALT SEZON still with us or no?

The1WhoDares

Ok, let me get this str8… before trump came in, crypto was up & up, we all agree right? BTC peaked @ 108.. yadda yada. Crypto’s been trending down since, right? Everyone’s blaming & pointing fingers, asking ‘wats going on’ right? Trump makes the announcement, crypto sling shots up quite a bit, not to ALT’s but enough. Now I know trump this trump that, but why’s it trumps fault? IMOP, we (myself included) r TOOOO emotional, when it comes to these volatile swings. We need to just understand the market better & use it to our advantage. That’s all, crypto has always been volatile based on wat some mainstream media mogul says or doesn’t say. But remember, this is JUST A 4 YEAR deal. If u believe in crypto that much you won’t b worried about wat happens. It’s part of the story, tell ur kids. “When I was in my x age, there was this guy in the White House & he did this & that, times were tough, I had to get a job scrubbing toilets @ McDonalds. Next thing I kno, this happened & then I had to sleep in a cardboard box. Life was tough, but next thing I know. 8-years go by and I’m a millionaire.” Tough times builds strong people, easy times build weak people. Choice is yours…

i foolishly thought ALT season might have been in the other direction

So now what can bring a bull run/ALT season? I think this dump confirms that this cycle is over.

Hefty-Ad5870

We are well overdue for ALT Season. Market conditions are primed for it.

AutomatedAurora

I’m an ETH holder so I never pumped. Only bled all over the god damn floor. Still hoping for that ALT rally

Infernoswelt

He's pretty much the only one who has been touting BTC.D going up to 60%+ and if you followed that you've outperformed 99.99% of other market participants. He also correctly predicted the ETH/BTC top and looks to be right with the SOL/BTC and ETH/BTC comparison. If you would actually watch his videos and follow his advice, you would probably be up a lot. Doesn't matter if BTC.D is actually rising because of QE or QT, fact is he was right about it rising. Same with ETH/BTC, same with most other ALT/BTC pairs.

Lascage

Think as a big player. Would you like to kill the gambling addiction around ALT to see everyone invest wisely into BTC ? No. You want the story repeat as a Ponzi scheme so you can earn money infinitely. You want people to believe it and spread the informations so there is more liquidity every cycle. Why make everyone scared of a Ponzi scheme. It’s all non sense. But they have to make it hard. Not everyone can make it so a few people will make it and other will believe they will make it next cycle also. This is a point of view, and this is how I would think if i had billions to invest.

liquid_at

BTC-Halving + 6 Month = BTC High. BTC-Halving + 12 Month = ALT High BTC-Halving + 18 Months = BTC High. May 2020 -> May 2021 April 2024 -> April 2025. Alts do follow when BTC does its end of year run but in 2021/22 only ETH reached a new ATH, while all other alts I checked stayed significantly below their highs.

Aimad_nl

I am in the same boat. I had a change to break even, but i wanted profits and not my money back. I hope their will be an ALT season this year.

MrWorkout2024

Nope we aren't having a ALT season this cycle. Crypto is a whole new beast now.

EirianWare

New day new ALT sezon coming

mabradshaw02

NEVER Hold an ALT... buy it VERY early on ... either Sit on it knowing it will crash out or expand ... sell at highs. Buy and Alt when BTC just topped out at record high? omg.. alt's gonna lose 75-90% of value in the next year.

TexasBoyz-713

What’s ALT seasony about everything being down 10-15%? Just curious

Environmental-Bowl43

They wont admit it, but were watching ALT season be born

ALT season might be here guys👀

Chance-Piano7561

So few months back, They were pumping good. They were low caps, I decided to take a risk, as I know in a bull market. Every coin pumps and we yet to see big alts going to their ATH. So I thought till that I can hold these low cap coins and will exit when I see coins like ADA etc crossing their ATH.....But nothing like that happened, every ALT coin just keep bleeding.

CounterAdmirable4218

Historic well seasoned ALT's will have a massive bull run soon. Every other ALT will collapse to nothing. The market is over saturated.

Legitimate-Rush1810

Yeah I agree. Bitcoin hit fear twice and right now it's on fear for the 3rd time. Yet prices havnt sunk below 90,000. The first 2 times there was fear during this rally, it consolidated and one it settled, priced went a new wave higher. We are in fear now yet we are consolidating and not dropping, there might be a real nice FOMO hitting when it gets over 100,000 again. INCLUDONG every bad thing that's been happening these past 2 months yet it decides to hold strong. Then you got government and banks being involved, buying some as a reserve. Times do seem different this time around. You see dominance has been lasting longer than usual and I don't think ALT season even truly peaked yet. This rally happened too fast

East-Cricket6421

I think Im just seeing the market minus the top 10, which we might argue is a decent metric for something not to be "alt" this day an age. After all, its hardly an ALT coin if it established at the top. Either way I'm still concerned about how capital is going to flow downwards even in the event of BTC growth. The other issue is institutional investors play an entirely different game where it may not be in their best interest to let crypto grow unchecked. Meaning now that they have substantial positions in the market they will simply stagnate any growth in order to protect their investments elsewhere. Institutions benefit from control of a market more than they do from unchecked market growth if you take a macro view. They've done the same thing to various precious metals as well. Whether crypto will be somehow resistant to or immune to that kind of control remains to be seen.

I’m going to say this once , it’s your first cycle. So some research. Cycles aren’t guaranteed but at the same time nothing but btc has passed previous ath. WE ARE NOT IN A ALT CYCLE YET!

mrpotatonutz

BTC and especially ALT Crypto is highly volatile in the short term and profitable in the long term. Time in market > Timing the market or more specifically it’s not for day trading, leverage or “fast money” play. Anyone saying it is is probably a scammer. Buy > hold long term >

BornCat1804

IMHO I think FUD has certainly impacted both the stock market and even more so on the crypto market due to Trump always being a wildcard. That creates uncertainty which impacts BTC which has a bigger impact on ALT coins. The other thing is what is a bull market in crypto. Not sure one definition exists like it does in stocks. However depending on the crypto most people HODL. So leave your crypto where it is at. If you don’t feel comfortable don’t add anymore in. Not financial advice just don’t bite off more than you can chew. Or try DCA.

Euphoric_Win8199

There MUST be a ALT season! Every bull run have it and this time won’t be an exception. Only reason to skip ALT season is for the Ukraine war to continue..

ALT season happened, the total tokens climbed exponentially from last cycle and the new money just didn't come in. Its over, the -90% is inbound.

>  It's sustainable demand. This is the biggest lie you can push for "utility" coins. If they have sustainable demand, most of them wouldn't have their charts breaking down ALT one after another. > you haven't been paying attention. Oh boy, I have been paying attention for too long to realize the obvious: most have no organic demand for their "utility" to justify their current valuations. Most valuations come from speculation and tokenized ideas/community. If you go to TradFi world, there are no multi-billion-dollar valuation projects running PE multiple north of 100s. It is just completely unacceptable when you frame selling coins as "utility". If you want utility tokens to be taken seriously, then you have to come out honest about the entire situation of broken business models, unsustainable subsidies via token emission, have limited addressable market beyond native crypto token speculators, etc.. I haven't even got to the crazy FDV needing to be unlocked soon. Never mind that. That is just extra pain added to broken business models.

if btc sneezes, ALT dies eventually

ALTs are not dying for a change! ALT season coming?

BoratOhtani

If you look at the ALT pump last year it started around mid/end Feb. This sub is also a great sign that a lot of people has capitulated ... Only BTC Maxi left acting holier than thou I'm looking at great pumps for Litecoin, XRP, ETH etc

Technically, Bitcoin has been on a run since November 2022 low of $17,000. Altcoins ran in early November 2024. Do you think Bitcoin has more legs to run after nearly a 2 year uptrend while hitting ATH multiple times and do you think ALT season didn’t happen in November 2024 when some ALTs ran +400%? We may have already hit BTC top and we may have already had ALT season, even though some ALTs havnt hit ATH. I took some profits off the table, because, “this time might be different”

It's really hard to say with the ETFs now the whole landscape of crypto has changed the usual money that would flow into ALTs from profits isn't the same with institutions swallowing up billions of potential liquidity for ALT season it's almost basically decoupled Bitcoin and now Eth from what would be classed as ALT season. It's very strange times.

This kinda bullshit is gonna kill ALT season. Beware all Degens!!!

Steadbrisk

my guy, crypto had enough of gains for this bull run, now we need ALT season to start pouring money in

What exactly ALT coin you have listed some money?

_Commando_

Here comes ALT season!

XRP_SPARTAN

I will say for the 100th time: WE DO NOT NEED QE FOR ALT SEASON! The Fed’s balance sheet is still astronomically huge by historical standards, all that money that was printed in 2020 is still here with us. It’s why most people here were blindsided as stocks and crypto pumped throughout 2023. And they will be blindsided when this cycle ends with an explosive alt season. That will be the time to flip bearish, not now!

Bitcoin is Bitcoin Some ALT Coins are shit Craig Wright is still not Satoshi DCA and buy the dip

I feel you! I am bleeding out $$$ every single day... It is so friggin stressful. All the talk and the hype and the YouTube and the X and the Trumpy Bear crypto Presidente and the new and improved SEC and months of " buy the dip" and the ALT SEASON IS COMING and the the blah blah blah... Some of my positions need a 400% reversal just to break even... 😅 🤣 😕 😭 I put a week bit of slush money into the shitty Pumpfun arena just to play the penny stocks. At least I am in control. At least there is a little bit of action... It is certainly much more volatile and a much higher risk vs reward vibe... But you don't have to wager much to start taking wee bits of profit to build your bag up. $4 here & $12 there... If something comes along that you have a good feeling about or you see a bit of early momentum you can throw in a $20 or a $50! I started with dirt and made wee bits here and there. Before too long I had pulled my original investment out and now I'm mostly just having fun with the house money!!! Don't get me wrong... It's not easy. It is something quite stressful and aggravating. There are scams and panic sellers and rug pullers... Lots of rug pulles 😡🤬 but it's still pretty fun. If you are tired of just sitting, helpless watching your little crypto fortune shrivel up... Throw a $100 into the Pumpfun arena and play with a bit if Penny stocks! You'll probably lose that too but at least you'll have some fun doing it! 😎🤟 Don't worry about your current positions. Just HOLD!!! The whole crypto environment is about to be reinvented. Some of your shit will turn to crap... But some of it with be woth more than gold... Maybe. 😅 Hopefully... 😐 😅 All the best over there! Jamz

I mean, you are not wrong. I initially invested in Eth because of the idea, but now I kind of lost hope, and being so close to an ALT run, I plan to wait a bit more and get fully out of crypto, and maybe just maybe when the time is right go back, but this time investing fully in BTC.

First NANO pumps then NEO and GAS pumps then the ALT Season starts full swing.

sub_RedditTor

I'm in gold now but BTC can explore at any moment. It's basically all now about BTC and real world assets like Chain Link For the ALT season to actually happen , we need FED to start increasing their balance sheet

coincollector1997

If you own an ALT (Avax, Chainlink, etc), it can fall ANOTHER 50% from the current price

Reminder that TradFi, Institutional, Corporate and Nation State involvement means BTC has a vice grip stranglehold on capital -- the end result is very little of BTC profits is flowing to Alts. This will be devastating to big Alts which need huge capital to make any big moves. *The first casualty is ETH.* The long term trend is BTC is capital is slowly starting to concentrate on BTC and leaving the Alt coin market behind in the dust. The astute investor looks at the data recognizes this trend and sticks to BTC. The naive and gullible investor gleefully is walking off the cliff thinking he is walking into the fabled ALT Season.   - Crypto Total Marketcap is up +1.6 Trillion over the last year - BTC Marketcap is up +1.2 Trillion over the last year   | coin | prev.

Depends on the ALT coin doesn't it. I got a x15 on SOL then cashed most of it out.

MyLastHumanBody

this makes me not want to invest in any ALT but only on bitcoin. I will now stick to index funds and bitcoin only. I already tend to suffer from haemorrhoids and do not need to get a new one ripped from Alts after 5 years

MyLastHumanBody

Trump will create one ALT coin and ban all other coins

Imo, this is the “do nothing” stage. The market shakes out the weak and those without conviction. The market is especially shaking out altcoin holders. I strongly feel we have at least 1 or 2 more legs UP of this bull run, based on the massive bitcoin chart break out, above the previous ATH ($69k-$72k range). That support is clearly still holding, so on a long time frame, things are still quite bullish imo. Even the Total Crypto Market Cap is still holding support. The next legs up will carry alts with them. YES, there will be an ALT SEASON. This idea that there won’t is exactly the kind of sentiment that takes place before it happens. It’s market psychology, which is always backwards from reality. That gut feeling to sell is often the right time to buy. We don’t know exactly when things will flip positive for alts— it could be 1 week, or 1 month, but it will happen. Yes, in hindsight, it might have been good to sell most alts months ago to protect our downside, but if you didn’t (like many of us), it might best be played as a waiting game from this point. It’s admittedly difficult to follow my own advice, but just going out and finding something to do for a few months, a hobby, etc., is probably more constructive than worrying and trading losses. Remember, the macro picture is bullish

GhostEntropy

This subs biggest mistake is thinking BTC ATH = ALT ATHs. There is no second best.

BoratOhtani

Everyone has a risk tolerance, but even if we have a ALT season, I am not as bullish as I once was. Maybe you’ll turn that to $1400

BTC sneeze. ALT bleed. Portfolio taken a beating. Alts down bad.
