BTC: a tool to protect the psychology of crypto investors?

[KryptoBull]

If such people hold in spot said alts - they can wait all they want till the alt season hits eventually, in my opinion.

No need to be shakin' off your bags 

Right now, many investors are very worried about the chances of an altseason this cycle, because the ETH price is still low and we haven't seen signs of a major trend in the crypto market. I'm not sure all altcoins holders can hold until the next season, if an altseason doesn't happen this year, I think most will panic-sell their altcoins at the harshest point of the 2026 crypto winter.

Personally, I also plan to sell my altcoins in 2025 instead of holding until the next season. I'm still hoping an altseason will happen in the next few months, creating an opportunity to take profits before the uptrend ends. In a worst-case scenario, I'll cut my losses on altcoins to have money to DCA next year.

This year was the most depressing of all. I'm just going with the flow now, let's see where altcoins takes me. After the crash of ETH, more than 70% of the portfolio went down in a single day. This year Alt season didn't came as we all expected. If this keeps up, we will hit rock bottom. My position already got liquidated, so you can imagine how I feel. None of us has the means to hold up any longer, I least not me.

I am sorry to hear about your loss, my positions are in minus too, but they are not that big and they are in spot, meaning I just see red all over, and don't think about it too much.

Let's hope the situation changes in the near months to come.

My condolences for your losses this season. I hope you'll still have a chance to recover what you've lost in the upcoming uptrend. Personally, I don't think ETH has crashed. Its price is still 2x higher than the crypto winter bottom, and those who DCA ETH are still seeing small profits rather than losses.

I don't participate in Futures, so I don't fully understand the temptation of leverage. If you do participate in Futures, stop loss is essential to protect your capital. We're optimistic about the market, but we can't be too risky. I've always believed that accumulating BTC will secure profits for investors in each new season.

It's hard to swallow the losses of altcoin, but you just have to hold on strong and never give up totally on your altcoin holdings because two out of your altcoin investments will skyrocket when the altcoin season comes, giving you the money you have lost from your altcoin investment.

The crypto market won't end this way, and Bitcoin hasn't given a higher ATH of $150k that many of us have been speculating for long. There is no way altcoin will increase to a new ATH that we won't see many altcoins increasing to higher prices. Some of the altcoins we have will surely experience an increase in price.

2025 is still underway, but yeah, currently, there is nothing that would propel the market further, and the things we anticipated didn't do so.

The only hope is for the chain of events to push investors to do something and have confidence in the future

We're all waiting for altseason this year, but everything still depends on the BTC price movement in the coming time. The success of BTC is a necessary condition for the altcoins' boom, that's what we've seen in previous seasons.

Right now, BTC holders are probably happy because the BTC price is recovering and heading towards 90K USD, while altcoins investors are worried and waiting, they hope that BTC won't suck all the money away from altcoins. I'm also holding a few altcoins but luckily I have BTC in my account so my pressure isn't too big.

Hold strong to BTC mainly, because through 2025, there should be a new ATH reached eventually, at least that is what I think will happen on that chart.

I'm hoping for the same thing. For BTC, 100K is my initial target. It doesn't really matter to me if the BTC price keeps rising since I don't own much BTC. What I'm looking forward to is its positive impact on altcoin prices in the market.

If BTC goes up by 50%, altcoins could go up by 500% or even more, which would allow me to make a sizable profit, possibly thousands of USD, from altcoins. The most difficult decision right now is whether to keep DCAing altcoins. At least having BTC in my account means I don't have to sell altcoins in a panic, I can hold them until the end of the year to see what the market says.
