Looking at this cycle, the fate of altcoins is pretty clear: they’re only for speculation, not for long-term holding. I have a follower who bought JASMY in 2021 at a price of 3U. Now it’s at 0.005U, a 600x drop. The scariest part? It’s down 99.9%, yet still has a $250 million market cap! Don’t listen to talk about long-term holding or value investing. The essence of altcoins is gambling, not assets. The peaks of altcoin cycles are getting lower each time, and the lows keep breaking new ground. This is the trend toward eventual zero. Hoarding altcoins and holding onto them will most likely lead to deeper losses, slowly draining your principal. The ones who survive are those who get in and out quickly, take profits when they can, don’t overstay, and don’t fantasize. Remember this: Altcoins can be played, but not trusted; you can make quick money, but don’t treat them as a lifelong career. Protecting your principal is more important than anything else.
