All jokes, memes, LARPs and conspiracy theories aside, why has Alt Season failed to come to fruition?
Hardmode: Saying "Everyone woke up and realized Bitcoin is all that matters" because people said this in 2016 and 2020 and then in the following year (2017 and 2021) alts went fucking crazy
It was very profitable already. This narrative comes from people who invested in old altcoins. And even old ones like XRP had mediocre gains.
You guys seem to keep forgetting about NFTs. The NFT bullshit showed retail just how greedy and malicious the "altcoin people" can be. Every single NFT was an outright scam and now everyone that bought into it feels stupid for getting hoodwinked by crypto scumbags. They feel stupid and betrayed and will stay the fuck away forever. The NFT craze did PERMANENT damage to the likes of Ethereum.
Also you seem to be ignoring the amount of liquidity flowing through the memecoin casinos. The same malicious NFT crypto creeps are responsible for memecoin scams too. They talk like "ching chong ching".
Its simple.
Meme coins are for retards
Alts are for midwits (the worst kind)
And the genius chads bought btc in 2012
Alts are not needed, their utility is not needed and forced.
You do realize the whole
alts are a scam, people are now realizing this
This was said in 2018/2019/2020 because of how badly people got burnt by alts after the 2017 bullrun
And yet alts came back and went ballistic in 2021 again
You guys are acting as if this is the 2nd cycle where altcoins have existed, theyve existed in all 4 cycles
you do realize that the only proper alt season happened in 2017, right? You do understand that the 2021 run could hardly be characterized as an "alt szn", when a grand total of 30 shitcoins managed to pump, compared to 2017 when the entirety of the top 100 was in the green, right?
Thats great and all, but you do understand that alts are not neeeded right? Go ahead, name a single needed alt coin besides monero and i'll proceed to laugh at your midwit face. If your whole argument is that they will go up anyway might aswell buy meme coins then retard
Ethereum is needed for USDT and USDC
Please enlighten me why that is the case
Because Bitcoin doesn't have smart contracts?
Bitcoin was basically on life support until we got USDT with Ethereum and then Bitcoin skyrocketed
Having stablecoins (thanks to Ethereum) brought in the ability to trade Bitcoin so much more, with so much more liquidity, with far more trades. Before then people had to move fiat onto CEX's from tradfi and had to keep doing that, and the amount of trading pairs was very low
USDT on ETH basically made trading Crypto possible. Without ETH & USDT Bitcoin would probably like $5-10k now
Jesus fucking Christ. There was an alt season in December. It has come and passed. Alt season doesn't last for a year.
Bitcoin isn't needed either.
it came and passed
That was not altseason, that was Trump winning presidency pump.
i was ten in 2012
no altseason this time
things that newfags say
If there's no altcoin season, stay active with airdrops and keep farming. Don’t be lazy—farm Boinkers and claim those free daily spins.
All coins are memes, including bitcoin.
THERE was an alt season late last year. It was solana shitcoins only. Every altcoin season is different. No one is going to buy your old ass bags.
There is one big smart contract alt needed. Stablecoins and more importantly decentralized trading and gambling is a huge industry.
This dude got BTFO its not even funny.
I don't care I will wait even if more 5 or 10 years and keep buying at low price
NOT SELLING YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE
Same senpai
Load up on Eth, Link, Uni, and some blue chip memes on Base and Sol.
Maybe only 60% of ppl were aware it was nothing but scams, so the 40% left allowed the 2021 bullrun. But now 100% of the global population are aware it's just scams so there is no baggoid left to hold. All the price action we see are just whales trying to bait retail via fomo.
Still not selling , I waited so far.
I can wait more
Alt season has been replaced by meme season. Its fucking 2025, imagine still hoping link or some other useless shitcoin you bought years ago is going to pump.
You seem to care, that's bullish enough for me
You seem to care
I really don’t
you cant get shit without spending money you retarded shill
they always say this till they start seeying the market go up and start panic buying.
Keep talking
And even old ones like XRP had mediocre gains.
I'm still betting on XRP and A.
Blue chips for the long term, memes for quick gains, and i've been liking A47 on Sol, it doesn’t feel like a total degen play since it’s running some AI media angle.
Because there are 30 THOUSAND DIFFERENT CRYPTOS and all of them are scams.
Back in 2017 there were barely 2000 different cryptos so it was much easier to pump them.
when will you faggots learn that altcoins are pajeet ponzi schemes?
hen random garbage tokens would 50x overnight, and everyone on Twitter was suddenly a genius calling microcaps no one heard of? That’s done. It’s over. And it’s not just some cycle shift — it’s structural. The market’s changed in ways that make those kinds of pumps borderline impossible now.
The main issue is bots. Not your average trader bots or someone running a DCA script from GitHub. I mean serious institutional-grade bots. We’re talking about algorithmic systems from firms that couldn’t care less about meme coins or narratives — they just want volatility and open markets. Stocks and bonds close on weekends and nights. Crypto? It’s 24/7. A dream for these firms. So now they’re here, and they’re squeezing every bit of inefficiency out of the market. What used to be organic volatility is now suppressed by high-frequency trading and liquidity games that no retail trader can realistically compete with.
The result? Price action is totally nerfed. You’ll notice how even "major" pumps now are pathetic compared to past cycles. ETH doing 2x is considered impressive now. BTC moving 30% in a month is "bullish." SOL might get a decent rally, but nothing like the wild, multi-hundred percent runs we saw just a couple years ago. The big moves have been sanded down into predictable, incremental motion that benefits large players and algorithmic systems. It's not a casino anymore, it's a machine.
And yeah, AI is in the mix now too. AI-driven trading systems are constantly scanning, adjusting, and front-running anything with a pulse. They don’t sleep. They don’t FOMO. They just optimize. You’re not trading against emotions or hype anymore — you’re trading against code that exists purely to extract value from your existence.
and yes, i used chatgpt to make my text better because im from pakistan
proof alt season will come at the end of this bloody murder battle
i don't think you read what i posted.
altseason will never happen again.
Didnt read
Its a multi level marketing scam
multi level marketing scams need suckers, exponential amounts of suckers
such a thing doesnt exist
Crapto is the tupperwares of the 2010s, with less usecase and no parties as all the freaks are prompting chatgpt for "analysis"
Tons of alts are old enough now to be exposed as vaporware scams
Donald keeps fucking with the market every few weeks
Liquidity is barely present, Fed refuses to lower rates even after inflation is down
Market makers way more sadistic and greedy this cycle and aggressively dump every bit of green
Retail is wiped out from being endlessly farmed
BTC's market cap is too high for it to get the same gains as before
Institutions only care about BTC and won't rotate into anything else
Overall macros are way more fucked now and we get a new blackswan fakeout panic every month or so
Why the hell is everyone looking for alt season when there are several other means of earning in the market? While waiting for alt season, smart chads are waiting for their yields on A-list platforms like Haven1 offering up to 513% yields on some pools.
No more Link-like-investors in the market
Alt-season requires people that give the alts bottom up legitimation, that was the job of Link-like tech curious investors. They left the market after link was massively attacked and the entire VC- Balc cock driven industry pivoted to Doge shit
Link-like investors didnt return and nothing points toward the tech crowd ever returning. That means no more alt season possible, that means no more rotating into buttcorn, that means the cycle is broken
Cause Bitcoin didn't reach its top WHILE retail interest is high. also the macroeconomics, the FED has to be risk on.. then liquidity spills from BTC into Altcoins in search for higher gains. Buy social interest is very low.
Realistically will take more months towards the end of year or q1
If an altseason happens it will be into proven top100 projects or real new projects. Everyone by now knows about shitcoins memes and their scammy nature. A retail driven altseason ONTOP of etf fuelled institutional investment is still possible
