Is the current market situation the start of the so-called alternative coins season?
I think a lot of us here in the forum have only been involved with crypto since the end of 2017. This period is also called the alt coin season, at least that's how I understood it.
During this time there were around 1000 alt coins on the coin market cap with a value of over 500 billion dollars.
Right now we have around 8,200 coins, excluding Bitcoin, which are worth just under 300 billion.
What does that mean to us?
To inflate the bubble again to look like it did back then, you would have to invest a lot more money, around 3 times as much as it does now, to get all those ATH´s. And I'm talking about top 100 coins only.
Sure, there have been some valuable coins in the meantime that you can't count them either.
I'm not sure this will happen.
In my opinion, only the best coins will survive in the long term, some may also have new ATH, our task is to find out which these are before investing. Everything else is gambling.
This of course applies to long-term investors; day traders can benefit from volatility at any time. So, be careful when investing.
