ALT COINS - RWA’s, DEFI’S, others

MakeItMine2024

The typical cycle is broken. I think we are in the early stages of BTC and a few others finally catching more eyeballs and dollars from previously anti crypto investors. Digital currencies will be eventually where every global currency goes to. Too many dollars chasing the next shit coin rage. BTC and Shit coins sucked the liquidity from ALT coins the past few years. I’m just sitting on my bag and really don’t care if we drop 75% or go up 300% from here. Depending what happens I will either add or sell and hide in stable coins should it have a blow off rally. I always keep sell triggers in place at significantly higher amounts. I actually don’t expect them to trigger but I also don’t want to miss an unexpected pump

All I want for Christmas is ALT SEASON !!!

BoringPrinciple2542

I’m an alt/USD guy. BTC/ALT seems like it should be more volatile generally so I would think it could be more profitable (plus if there is a crypto upsurge you profit on both tokens so less potential loss due to holding). But I find it easier to work strategies with USD. I can look at a chart and make gut decisions with dollars and it’s very intuitive what everything means. Trading with BTC/ALT had me constantly doing math. Probably not bad if you have the capital to zoom out but I was working a tight window when I tried that game and I was adjusting my parameters constantly to try to keep in the zone. I use a USD/ALT setup and a pretty wide parameter (not exact but roughly 5 year low to 5 year high) and just keep stockpiling and reinvesting. It isn’t optimal but it’s good for me.

What if everybody converted all their ALT coins into bitcoin right now would that screw his short?

HotSaucinWingTossin

They probably shouldn't be. We would probably be at a much higher value right now if it weren't for speculators (dare I say, paper hands?), unnecessary criticism and ALT coin casinos diminishing the image of Bitcoin. I like to think people will eventually understand what they are buying, but the journey is frustrating.

No_South_9912

I'm swapping my ALT for Bitcoin when they have a higher overall return vs what I have in Bitcoin. Due to the recent rug pull in negative on my crypto accounts.

Agitated_Ad_6774

TBH, i think when it comes to investing, if you hear about it in the news and see a failsafe opportunity, you are already too late and have probably missed the boat! The ones who make the real $$$ are early adopters/ lucky/already have the $$ to manipulate the market/criminals etc. Just grab your nuts and hold on because things aren't changing back overnight, markets move up and down and your in it for the long haul now! BTC isnt what it was meant to be anymore. Its more a long term investment to hold now with potential for high reward still! I bought in to crypto way back before BTC started getting mainstream attention before 2017. I also put a random punt on some different ALTS. I never imagined what would happen with BTC and crypto around 2017 but the constant dip/crashes were ruthless back then. I said fk this, I have reached my monetary goal. I cashed OUT around the same time with no regrets to this day. TBH I got lucky! I have stood by and seen people get completely wrecked and liquidated by crypto. Buy high sell low ain't no joke, so many people in crypto make crazy decisions its mental to watch. Its like a cult. If you want to look at something with guaranteed long term income, I would advise checking out an S&P tracker or different stock options, alongside just crypto. There are probably some ALT opps out there now if you're desperate to get rich super quick...you could also just go to a casino and make some wild bets that way!

FiatFree

If exchanges want to continue their business they need to at least orchestrate some kind of ALT season, or if they have made up their mind that crypto is done, we should say goodbye to whatever is left in our portfolios. I am a tiny fish, never bought BTC or ETH and I think there are lots of people like me. Most are probably down 70 to 90% already.

InFLIRTation

Ben has been the nost accurate anyone could be. No ALT season unless btc pumps

mabradshaw02

BNB isn't an ALT.. It has purpose as a way to reduce trading costs on the worlds largetst exchange. Literally the ONLY coin that actually has a purpose.. albeit... to trade other coins.

JimSlimmy

Brother I am there with you. Now that I ranting people think I’m upset at BTC price or ALT’s dumping but NO I am sad at how things happened. People trusted these exchanges with their money and they let us down. The worst part? They could care less. Stop losses weren’t triggered, coins showed different bottoms in exchanges, people couldn’t place buy order at the bottom due to “technical difficulties” yet major players were able to load up. It’s infuriating.

Gubbie99

ETH down 0,2% last 24h… and people are spreading mass panic. 😂 is this the final dip before ALT season FOMO sets in? 😂👏

JimSlimmy

People think I’m upset at the fact that ALT coins tanked or crypto isn’t performing but what I’m really upset about is looking where crypto is at and how it’s being manipulated in front of us. Since we’re retail and have very little power individually we have no other choice but to put up with these things while they profit and hope for a small gain.

Fyve0nit

What if I told you ALT SZN did come Just not for your ALTS

foreveryoungperk

lol i have proof the T.A charters i see with most consistency called a bearish markeet and saying to short btc since long before the dip. it was clear TA that caused the dip. the ALT coins falling is the weird part and thats where talks of coordinated attacks on certain companies come in

cmxhere

Guys, you will see, ALT season is yet to begin...

ozera202

How amazing would it be if BTC was to remain at this price and all the liquidity flowed into ALT coins and we get our filthy, degenerate, disgusting ALT fucking season …. Just imagine!!!

Paddy_Powers

This ALT season isn't as good as I'd thought it would be.

NaplesBeach_4Evah

There hasn’t been an “ALT season” since 2021, and there never will be another one

Paddy_Powers

Is this ALT season? Cause it sucks

FiatFree

So if this is the bull run and there doesn't happen an ALT season, isn't the entire crypto industry in danger? What would happen to all the DeFi platforms, the exchanges and everything else that has been built around crypto? I think most of them won't be needed if crypto means just the Bitcoin. This bull run must be scaring away the retail forever.

hirako2000

Not fla conclusive thing to reach conclusion based on the previous ATH during the LAST bull cycle, on an ALT, before clear indicators that we in the NEXT bear. At least wait 2026. !Remindme in 9 months.

iwannaskibbittvbeep

ETH, while it is the most useful ALT, will never be anything close to GOLD when it comes to inflation proofing your portfolio. Its closer to gambling, and most of my portfolio is in ETH, so take my word for it. I also do a lot of SILVER/GOLD investments.

tldr; The issuer of the TRUMP memecoin, Fight Fight Fight LLC, is seeking to raise $200 million to create a digital-asset treasury aimed at reviving the token's value, which has dropped 90% from its peak. Led by Trump ally Bill Zanker, the effort could target up to $1 billion. The token, once valued at $75, now trades at around $8. Controversies surrounding the token include a private dinner attended by Trump and scrutiny over potential legal violations. The initiative mirrors similar ventures like ALT5 Sigma's $1.5 billion fundraising plan for its token treasury. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

LivingTheTruths

Bitcoin dominance continues. This is a BTC bullmarket and a ALT bear market

QuitYuckingMyYum

I’m in that phase, 8 years in. Those ALT coins got me a down payment on my home 3 years ago. Market is completely different now.

Impressive_Pilot8415

BTC yes HODL & forget. But any ALT sell before end of cycle.

jojowhitesox

I will tell you this as someone who also bought BTC with inhertance. The amount you invested will go up. You have invested enough, do not put all your eggs in one basket. When iyour BTC starts to increase in value DO NOT sell it for alt coins. You will think it is easy money and you will get greedy (temporarily) ALT coins will lose you money. Yes, some people have made money on them, but statistically most people lose money on them. Also, avoid putting your BTC on interest bearing accounts. I lost a whole BTC to the Celcius bankruptcy. At one poiny I had 4.1 BTC, I am now down to 2.4 becasue of the mistakes listed above. Just buy a harware wallet and let it sit in there. Good Luck

So when is it ALT season

disaintnomuthafukenP

People create ALT coins/tokens to enrich themselves. occasionally, the ALT will have a purpose/use case to excellerate the transfer of wealth from buyers to creators. In even rarer cases, the coin/token was created to solve a real or imaginary defi gap/problem. It's very little different from creating businesses to capture current market hype or trends. However, due to poor or completely absent regulation in crypto, it is much easier to "make off" with the proceeds without consequence. In most cases, buyers have zero protection from bad actors who operate within the legal framework. Morality and finance have never been neighbors. Crypto widens the gap even further, after all, it said right there in the white paper that they were going to create 3 billion tokens for the treasury in month six and you chose to buy it anyway. It's almost "honest" compared to the obfuscation in traditional finance.

Remote_Ad3037

If we keep up this bitcoin rally to 125k, we just need bitcoin dominance to fall after that point it’s officially ALT coin season 🥳🎊🎉

5nakeplisken

I was off ALTs for a long time. All i owned was BTC. Then i fell off the wagon. Now im back on the ALT coin sauce.

When are you guys gonna learn??? Get out of this ALT stuff and stick with Bitcoin. As simple as that. I don’t know what you guys expect out of all of this.

Post is by: hduynam99 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1npjv7o/how_i_choose_my_altcoin/ I’ve talked a lot about altcoin season in previous posts, and now I want to share a simple trick that works for me when it comes to picking altcoins to invest in. 1. Backing matters. Altcoins with top tier venture capital backing are the strongest bets. VCs have money, connections, and will do everything they can to push the project forward. The downside: when the market turns, they often exit hard to protect their funds. That’s why it’s important to keep an eye on risk score for BTC and ETH to track the overall market cycle. (You can always find them on your ALT home page/ about) 2. Strength vs BTC and ETH. What’s the point of holding an alt that underperforms Bitcoin or Ethereum? Always check: * ALT/BTC ratio * ALT/ETH ratio If your alt is holding up better, it will usually recover faster when BTC and ETH bounce. (You can go on trading view check ratio like this: ALTUSD/BTCUSD) 3. Support levels matter. On weekly or monthly charts, if the ratio holds a strong horizontal cycle support, that’s often a sign the alt is set to come back stronger. 4. Use ETH risk score as index for low cap alts. * If ETH risk is in a fair zone (around 50), and ALT/ETH is holding a bottom, that’s a good setup. * If ETH risk is hot (80–100), consider DCA’ing out of alts, that’s the heated zone. Final note: Many new alts don’t have enough history for solid ratios. But as long as the ratio trends up, that alt is showing relative strength vs BTC and ETH. Right now ETH price: 4,041, Risk score: 52 over 100. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Naive_Particular397

Well… do you think that the few people who are billionaires now due to bitcoin have really hodl since the beginning.. well Most of them NO. They either forget about their BTC or kept looking for their keys for years. I know people who bought Btc at cents and sold it at 1$ and 2$ look what they have missed. Being profitable in ALT meaning either you know when to exit with your profits or endure the cycles. It seems to me like when you hit 100k you were in euphoria that is the trap

FiatFree

CMC says, it's ALT season 78/100. My ALTs are 80% down from their ATH!

Sunnyjim333

DCA Bitcoin, stack Sats, HODL. Do not sell Bitcoin. Enjoy life. NO ALT COINS! zero, zip, nada.

3xc1t3r

Can confirm I am coming! Source: I am the ALT season.

PostalAzul

Yep, I understand that there may be a big chance for BTC to keep going up. We still haven’t had an actual ALT season, but rather a rise in BTC and ETH (to a lesser extent), driven by institutional investment.

XVenOG

So many ALT charts are about to break out of multi month wedges. Just a little more pump ETH and BTC. Drag us to the moon

Armadillodillodillo

And why do you think that somehow legitimizes ETH? It clearly just proves that ETH is just another ALT. Aptos Arbitrum Avalanche Ethereum Optimism Polygon Solana

Saffuran

The only purpose of these Trump family coins beyond the memes is to buy political influence with the Trumps, and not the people who are left holding it - those ppl are all exit liquidity. 1- Agree to give Trump family money for political favors but you can't directly give money to the president or his family without raising flags 2- To get around campaign finance laws create a product (fake watch for a direct buy or a fence mechanism like a stock/fund/crypto) 3- Use the cryptocurrency to effectively transact from party A to party B using the liquidity of the crypto itself to obscure the transaction - effectively meaning that Party A didn't actually pay Trump for political favor, they got a bunch of fools to cover their political payment so they come out roughly equal or ahead WLFI, ALT5, TRUMP, and MELANIA are literally campaign finance violations that are carried out through some sort of stupidity osmosis -- because it requires enough people stupid enough to fence the transactions.

BozoPower

Between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 I will sell all my ALTs and after a while slowly start DCAing into BTC. Once the next halving happens I will start looking at some ALT opportunities again.

The1WhoDares

Speculative… depends on how much of a gain I’m looking @ as far as tax purposes go. Just trying to stay below the threshold of $600k. I’m not a ALT coin holder, I’m more risk adverse but taking a risk by being in crypto is the most risk im willing to take.

Winningprime

WHY DOES EVERYONE BELIEVE AN ALT SEASON IS COMING??? IF AN ALT SEASON IS BEING PROMOTED LIKE A GUARANTEE IT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN! We could’ve easily had alts top during post election pump and its not being acknowledged as plausible by the community yet… not sure why.

Catharsiscult

The only ALT I am holding right now is $Pengu. Ither than that, I am a little weird in that I have more in ETH and then a comparable, but slightly smaller stack of BTC.

Security-Euphoric

Which ALT would you choose Q1 next year?

Persona00

Hearing a lot of talk about potential stock market crash given overvalued tech/AI stocks. If it does crypto is likely to take a big tumble - wondering what your guys thoughts are on this and if we'll still get a crazy ALT season

Swerve99

my first cycle i was up pretty decent then down 50% at my lowest. didn’t buy enough during the bear. my second cycle i took a wee bit of profits and then bought a ton during my second bear. my third cycle is this one. i’ve take significant profits and am still up significantly on my initial investment. the three things i did right was…. 1. got lucky buying an ALT very early and have held a huge chunk to this day 2. Acquired assets at the depths of the bear market. this third one especially i nailed. 3. it’s a meme but HODL. i got in big in 2017 and holding was the best trades i ever made.

freakythrowaway79

Set reminder! 4years Skip ALT SEASON 30

sharkhuh

On days like this, when your random ALT coin (Polygon) is making a run....hmm?

reddit4485

This may be the worst ALT season ever!

iAm-Tyson

Alts like SOL are beginning to outperform BTC along with ETH, the beginning of the ALT phase is here. BTC is going to chop along here now

loud-improvement2

September of every pre-halving year has been bearish for crypto. BTC is probably dropping to its bull market support band, so roughly 103k USD. ETH is definitely dropping in September, which will drag down every altcoin (including the shitcoin you’re holding). ALT/BTC pairs will drop in September and BTC.D will find support in late-September/October. But the crypto market in general will see a significant decline in September. I’d be happy if I’m wrong, but that would also contravene historical patterns and data. I’m sticking with data and historical patterns over your petty whims and desires. I would love to believe that altcoins will surge in September but the data doesn’t support that notion. Trade the market you have, not the market you want. Investors who follow their whims and desires instead of data are doomed to fail. But the good news for you degens is that ALT/USD pairs will probably pump in Q4. I would just hold, but the market is still going down in September, even though I firmly believe Q4 will be bullish for the whole market.

loud-improvement2

I didn’t tell him to short lmao. I’ve never advised anyone to use leverage. Anyway, we’ll see. Come back to this comment in mid-September. ALT/BTC pairs will drop significantly in September. Consider yourself lucky if ALT/BTC pairs only correct ≈10% or consolidate. I’m going with historical data over your whims and desires.

DebianDog

Sell my crypto bags! Dude they have not even hit their ATH again. F me... I have a lot of shit bags. Vchain is almost back where I bought it... Neo, XLM, ATOM, SNX too. :p IF we do have an ALT run I am selling EVERYTHING I have been sitting on for years, even if I have to take a loss. BTC, ETH, BNB, ADA carried my portfolio. Keeping it simple moving forward in 2026

sirauron14

We'll likely see ALT season last until Q2 2026

Just want to tell you, I have been knowing about crypto for 2-3 years, invested just to try out and recently just started getting deep in it, to my surprise there aren’t many youtube videos on it, or anyone who actively wants to explain, i found out the knowledge is comparatively scarce. And you my friend have educated me quite a lot in understanding bitcoin, that was a real good set of videos you posted here and very grateful for your efforts in posting that much stuff. I also wish to learn some stuff about ALT coins, if you have any sources i could refer that would be great.

The ALT season is upon us. Rejoice degens!

UsuallyTheException

that is not signaling a bear market.  if anything it just indicates the end of bitcoin dominance.  enjoy ALT season!

gsnurr3

It’s called ALT season for a reason.

magicmaxmark

any ALT in the top 50.

ScatMonkeyPro

He said which coin am I thinking about for ALT season. I'm thinking about BTC, because ALT season isn't coming.

EdVenture42

With BTC dominance steadily closing below 60% and the fear and greed index being in neutral to greed, I am personally rotating to the ALT's because that season is starting. It doesn't last long. Once extreme greed hits, I will send 95% back to BTC the rest to a stable coin to hold. This is just what my plan is. DYOR. Hope this helps.

ruserious2day

Learn from my bags that going too big on Alts no matter how compelling the tech is a bad idea. I invested $150k in a basket of crypto that I felt strongly about. 50% in ETH and BTC and the rest spread evenly in SUI, NEAR, LINK, UNI, POLY, STARK, STACks and AI16z, I’m down 30% overall even though I’m up substantially on ETH, BTC, LINK and SUI. Some of those alts are down 70%! If I could do it all again I’d concentrate 75% in BTC and ETH and I would not hold any ALTS long term. No matter how good the story they will be slaughtered when ALT season ends and crypto winter sets in.

Tricky_Effective3467

ETH is the anchor. #2 in the market. High interest. Acts as a bridge between BTC and ALTs buying cycles. SOL is the growth rocket. Strong community. Volatile for stages buy ins and sells. DOT utility coin. Less hype driven than SOL but still positioned for long term growth due to its unique focus on connecting chains. ADA strong rallies, top 10 market cap, safer small ALT but still volatile enough for staged buy and sell.

_Commando_

TOTAL2 is at an ATH 1.67T and exactly where we were at the peak of previous ALT season. Be careful out there...

hugo_posh

Oh damn, if they're posting that then i guess there really won't be ALT season anymore.

SPCE_BOY2000

the big explosion will be in ALT coins

WinterPurple73

So the ALT season everyone screaming was a lie?

ScatMonkeyPro

There will be no ALT season. What is coming is ETF season. Any coin with an ETF will rally, and any smaller token or coin that MIGHT become an ETF will rally.

Jayrovers86

Absolutely nothing other then BTC look how alts typically performed over the last 5 years. Most are never going to get their breakeven point back. Holding any ALT is financial suicide for 5 years

jwz9904

oh most ALT will never reach their ATH?

C-Dull

Look at the ALT/ETH chart and you’ll see why it isn’t

WinterPurple73

So the BTC just jumped and is aiming for a new ATH. After that, ETH will push for the ATH, then the ALTs follow! Yeah, ALT SEASON is here!

Ok_Seat5245

ETH is hot. ALT SZN is here!

therealharajuku

there’ll be no ALT season, let’s say it altogether. 99% of people here wishing for an ALT season are just trying to get tf out of their $3 ADA and their $40 DOT. Sell your ETH for a profit at its ATH, rotate the cash into BTC when there’s a 10-20% correction, forget the rest.

loud-improvement2

As much as I want alts to perform well, Ben Cowen’s takes on ALT/ETH pairs etc is very plausible. Unfortunately, we’re not in alt szn. Ben is one of the few genuine crypto influencers/analysts out there.

Crypto_King_Signals

Devils advocate........ When moon? When ALT season?... You have gotta zoom out and see the fractal pattern forming for BTC before speculating about ALT season....... This pattern has changed slightly but never the less it is still very similar...... Then you need to go and zoom out again literally to like the monthly charts for BTC and then apply the Elliot wave theory and Fibonacci..... It will surprise you and make so much sense at the same time! ALTs are not dead...... There WILL be an ALT season....... But you can't expect miracles ALTs will never explode when BTC is still forming..... At this stage you should be looking to target scalps or keep buying the dip and Holding....... Be patient be smart buy the dip...... sell the tip....... Even if we go into ALT season soon (which definitely looks possible from the charts, double bottom forming (WAVE2) etc on a macro scale.......) Don't forget the gap still needs filling for BTC after it completes this next phase Smartest traders will be looking to scalp this next movement and DCA like a god after knowing that the gap for BTC is still open....... Rome wasn't built in a day and neither were millionaires in the making! BUY the dip SELL the tip and DCA at every opportunity! Play the long game all will be good! ETF for BTC and ETH has turned a normal cycle into what now looks like a super cycle...... It's gonna be Choppy it's gonna look scary at points but use the information that you have at your disposal read the damn charts and zoom out!

ExorIMADreamer

Well let's hope it does well. I'm always leary about sticking with alts after they have hit coinbase. Seems like after day one it's just a long slow drop. Looking at you every ALT I've ever bought on coinbase.

Crypto_King_Signals

ALT season is upon us we are lining up for a parabolic pump, so diversify your portfolio you won't go wrong, it's not the time to be dumping $5k into BTC and expecting huge gains it's just not going to happen, you will maximise your profit potential by diving into ALT coins. DCA along the cycle, buy the dip sell the tip!

Immediate-Crazy-1004

BTC & ETH = Practical choice ALT = High-risk dream

Euphoric_Newspaper47

Did NFT’s ruin previous ALT season?

thejackthewacko

Best answer I can give you is telling you the prerequisites for alt season: BTC needs to drop below 60% dominance Top 50 altcoins need to outperform BTC (you can gauge this by alt season index, which needs to be above 75) At the moment, BTC is hovering on the 60% mark for market dominance, but alt index is hovering around 35. It just means not many people are pumping their money into the market atm. Usually, you see BTC pop off, having an increased dominance before ALT season happens. The speculation is people just mitigate gains from BTC into alt coins. Other than that, there's no real way to actually predict alt season. Despite its name, it's not something that happens as reliably as its name implies

Pretenderinchief

My brother, I’m lucky enough to say that poverty is out of reach for me even if I sold today. The US economy is screwed. Goodluck getting an ALT season on the back of that jobs report.

1. Keeta: Ex-Google CEO involvement. Fastest L1. Seems hopeful. 2. ETH: Obvious pick 3. Toshi: Wildcard pick. Most people feel Base coins will run if ALT season kicks off, and Toshi is The Face of Base!

royalgrammma

The ONLY ALT with ACTUAL potential is AMP. If they actually do 50% of what has been said they can deliver - this is the single best play of any ALT out there. Whether they deliver or not is the question….
