THE MYTH OF ALTCOIN SEASON đ„
Letâs talk honestly about something most people wonât tell you.
Altcoin season isnât a magic reset button.
It wonât bring every single bag back to its ATH
Thatâs the myth.
â The Harsh Truth
A lot of the coins sitting -95% from ATH arenât coming back.
And no, itâs not always because the market is unfair.
Itâs because of things like:
â
The team pivoted or disappeared
â
Token unlocks crushed supply
â
VC funding dried up
â
The hype cycle ended
â
Marketing lost steam
â
The community moved on
Altcoin cycles evolve fast. What was hot in 2023 might be completely irrelevant in 2025.
And when retail does return, they donât care what you were holding since the March 2024 top.
â So, What Can You Do?
Hoping that holding forever will fix your portfolio isnât a strategy.
You can make up for your losses, but not by waiting.
You need to:
â Accumulate selectively at local bottoms
â Exit positions when momentum peaks
â Stop marrying every small cap you buy
Spot trading helps.
Rotating into new narratives helps more.
Sometimes, that means letting go of old bags and focusing on the early-stage plays that are actually moving.
This market doesnât reward nostalgia. It rewards adaptation.
Altseason will come.
But not all alts will rise with it. So stop hoping for a full revival of everything you bought 18 months ago.
Study whatâs working now, move with the cycle, and learn to evolve.
Thatâs how you win.
