The majority of altcoins look like this today.
Yet one of the biggest myths/lies that has been told for years is that these charts are actually bullish.
Why? It's 99% down. So there's infinite upside!
Well this is crypto. It doesn't work like that.
When a new "season of alt outperformance" starts stuff will go up.
But not charts like these. It's usually the stuff that actually kept up decently well (those with staying power) that run back up.
And the devs or founders that are still here from the tokens that created a chart like the one below here?
They actually just start or make a new one.
This is not speculation or an opinion of mine. As someone with a decent following and connections I've learned that the following statement is 100% a fact:
"It's WAY easier and EXTREMELY more lucrative for a dev or founder to hype and push a new one than to revive their old one and keep that going"
So that's also exactly what happens.
In a season of outperformance you'll continue to see new stuff pop up left and right with maybe 1% of old also catching bids (they will exist but those are exceptions).
So it's mostly:
1/ The Big Guard
Bitcoin, Ethereum but also the protocols that are household names right now like Mantle or Aave or Morpho or ...
2/ The 1% of old
Some low-mid caps that do end up beating the rule and actually catch good bids. Keep in mind it's almost never micro caps here.
They stayed micro caps or got that low for a reason. Those devs generally just move on and try again.
3/ The new
Micro and low caps alike. Many of them don't keep pumping ofcourse.
Just short lived hype that shows up and is the talk of the town for a few weeks while capital rotates to the next.
A very few however do make it into bigger territory.
Summary:
As always "most altcoins" aren't worth holding through a bear market.
You enter and exit them in the same bull cycle.
But at heavy discounts in a bearish cycle only the more established ones are worth bidding again in anticipation of a new bullish phase.
If you really want to take your shot at some micro and or low caps, those are generally best left for when risk-on season has ALREADY started.
You can't front-run micro caps before the pump because 99% don't survive the bear cycle.
Singapore’s PM at the time in 2015 published a Sudoku solver written in C++
Vivian Balakrishnan then translated it to Javascript.
This doesn’t prove that Singapore’s ministers are any more capable than others, but having a technological background is probably better than not.
Crypto made this year feel worse than:
-COVID crash
-FTX collapse
-LUNA crash
-SEC + Gensler’s lawsuit spree
-Celsius & BlockFi bankruptcies
-3AC collapsed.
And yet…
-Stocks sitting at ATHs
-Gold & silver in parabolic pump and ATHs
-Fed buying T-bills
-Global M2 keeps expanding
-A US pro-crypto president in office
-Regulatory Clarity and Pro-Crypto Policies in the US
-Crypto Institutional Adoption
We are not scared anymore, we are tired.
Tired of waiting
Tired of believing
But listen, market rallies don’t start when hope is high, it’s when people are tired, frustrated, and ready to give up.
Worst November for $BTC since 2018.
Worst November for S&P 500 since 2008.
Worst November for NASDAQ since 2008.
We should start looking for jobs now.
If i get rich in crypto, i wouldn't quit my job , i'll leave the office after showing up 17 minutes late, sending one email and flirting with the secretary & HR all day
The more you learn about the October 10th crypto liquidation, the crazier it gets:
First, crypto began selling off at 9:30 AM ET, well before the first tariff post at 10:57 AM ET.
At this point, many "whales" were already loading shorts in anticipation of a big drop.
Then, at 4:30 PM ET and 4:49 PM ET, a "whale" purchased over $23 MILLION of shorts.
Where it gets even more crazy is that longs were liquidated at a 7:1 ratio to shorts, also historically high.
This means that the vast majority (likely 80%+) of the 1.6 MILLION traders who were liquidated were levered long.
The "whales" then promptly sold shorts into the 5:20 PM ET bottom, just 30 minutes later, as volume crushed longs.
Volume was so strong that it led to the first EVER $20,000 candlestick in Bitcoin, a -$380 BILLION drop in market cap, before a V-shaped bottom as shorts were closed.
Not only was this the largest liquidation ever, it was 9 TIMES the previous record.
This event will be referenced for years to come.
Reading about $OMNIS’s vision definitely makes me bullish on its future potential.
@omnimindsai is building the core infrastructure for a decentralized agent economy, and it’s not just limited to Computer Use Agents.
What really stands out is that they’re focused on building the foundational layer for this entire space.
$OMNIS = The infrastructure powering the next phase of AI.
$FET is seriously undervalued right now
With the way these guys are cooking, not having a bag now is crazy
$FET is no longer just an AI token people talk about,it’s a full blown blue chip ecosystem
TRNR is raising $500M to go deep in $FET & build with https://t.co/Y7rCBFHycO
