The biggest difference between altcoins and BTC boils down to one fundamental fact: the cost of issuing a token is almost zero, but buying tokens costs real money. This creates a natural imbalance between supply and demand. Altcoin supply can endlessly spin stories and replicate itself, but buyers have to use real dollars/stablecoins to purchase. So, the positive expectation for most altcoins only comes from two scenarios: 1. The protocol actually generates cash flow and can distribute it to token holders. Over the years, only BNB has achieved this. 2. You move faster than others in the narrative game and can prove you have this edge. If neither of these applies, don’t confuse 'cheap' with 'value' or 'potential upside.'
