Will altcoins shine or fade in BTC's 2025 surge?

[MiningChick]

With btc potentially hitting $150k-$200k in 2025, do you think altcoins like Ethereum or SOL will see bigger gains, or will they get overshadowed by btc's dominance? I'm torn on where to invest my extra cash.

It is not a matter of what we think but the matter of what will happen, and to say for sure, no one actually knows. If you have a lot of money to invest, it is usually advisable that you hold Bitcoin in a fraction higher than the percentage you hold other altcoins that are promising as well. Over diversification is tempting, but it is likewise very risky and usually not advised if you cannot accomodate the risk.

We are all looking forward to altcoins finally going up to bullish market. Nothing so far since 2024 but a few of them. If they ever go up like how it did in 2017, it will definitely save the life of altcoins.

But because the economy of the world has changed drastically and all the negative news out there. I'm not sure if anyone is buying at all. We could just hope it has bottomed already.

Bitcoin actually has an overwhelming amount of liquidity and market cap in the whole of the crypto ecosystem and as a result it's movement affects the whole ecosystem. Basically if bitcoin dumps very much especially at a very high rate definitely majority of altcoins will also dump simultaneously especially for those that have very low liquidity the dump will hit them harder.

Take a look at a very popular altcoin like solana. Compared to the dump rate of BTC solana has actually dipped more even if it is not supposed to based on the rate of bitcoin's dump.

At least someone have funds now to invest in the market well current time is the golden time in my opinion because most of the market players did not saw this dump coming but they are players so they always kept stable currencies aside to buy the dip and this dip was really big.

You can get any big project token like ETH, SOl, Bnb, Link, Avax or bnb etc. very good rates because they all have dumped a lot and buying them now can give good profit it is not a financial advise so do your own research before investing.

No doubt Altcoins will follow the leader in terms of market movement we already seen that happened from previous cycles though seasons have existed but that does not end there because whether we like it or not Altcoins will always shine and fade no matter what depending on trends, hype and market condition.

If bitcoin had had an overwhelming amount of liquidity, it would not have gone down a cent.
High liquidity means that whatever the object of the trade is, an asset, stock, commodity, crypto, it can withstand high volumes without the price moving.g since it went down 15% that means a shortage of liquidity!

We are all looking forward to altcoins finally going up to bullish market.

Neah, I look at some more months of pain for altcoins to finally get rid of a ton of useless ones and send a lot of dump and pump schemes in the crypto graveyard.

Well it seems you are actually misinterpreting my definition of overwhelming liquidity.  I didn't actually mean the liquidity of the bitcoin network is more than it can afford to manage rather I meant it's liquidity is so high in the crypto space that it has a general effect on the market.

Volatility is what accounts for sudden movement or rather how easily and quickly a particular coin or asset can move. Liquidity is like money available in the market.

This season's bullrun is quite different from the previous seasons. Even in the middle of the bullrun, there was a deep correction that occurred in the market. and the distance between the previous Bitcoin ATH and the altcoin season is quite far, Even to be honest, we don't know for sure when the altcoin season will occur, seeing the market conditions and also the price of BTC which has fluctuated significantly this time. So, just wait, I am still one of the people who believe that Bitcoin still has a chance to go up and fall again this year and there will still be an altcoin season where the prices of Ethereum, SOL, and various other altcoins may also skyrocket

I don't think there is a chance that Bitcoin will hit $150k-$200k in this year. Don't you see that Bitcoin drop its price drastically?
Instead of reaching $150k, it may drop to $70k. The current market trend looks very doubtful, we are experiencing too much decline.
When Bitcoin drops its price, altcoins follow it. So, there is no way that ETH, SOL, BNB, or other altcoins will shine in this year.

It is hard to predict that btc will hit that amount this year. Have you seen the price from previous days? It is now down to $80k.

But of course we don't know what will happen in the next days, weeks or months as btc is volatile. We are still on the 2nd month of the year.

If judging from the past ATH you would see that altcoin weren't that influenced on the price, and of course we can't predicts or give exact what would happened in the market but from the look out of things 150k could be hard to achieve this year before thinking of 200k. This could be possible but the chances are extremely low to see that coming so soon since market aren't stable.
For about coin to buy, it has been obviously and regularly said that bitcoin is more trusted and reliable than any other coin in the market therefore holding bitcoin at this period could be more better than other coin right now.

Good to see another guy who is maintaining that positive vibe on Bitcoin even if the market is getting down every second. Well, Bitcoin is really like this it can fast go up and it can also go down anytime it feels it want to. We can speculate what can be but the truth is that nobody can really predict 100% of what can be...a week from now something bad may happen - just like the Bybit big hack - to further pull the market down or there can be some game-changing good news that can push the price of any coin UP, up and away to the moon. I am just actually maintaining some positive sentiment here so as not to add the gloom happening all over the market. Let's remember that when the market is DOWN, it is time to buy more.

Generally, altcoins like Sol , BNB, Ether and other notable altcoins will definitely shine at the appropriate time, most likely, the much anticipated altcoins season. I think Sol, BNB and Ether are strong projects that will shine any time and has many potential institutional investors with huge marketcap, trading volumes and large community of users globally.
I am currently hoping that there will be altcoins breaks out from dominance factor in near future that will trigger a full altcoins season. The current rate of Btc dominance as at today is 59%, too high for altcoins to begin an altcoins bullish trends. Dominant rate needed to drop below 50%, at least, 45% for a likely altcoins season in my opinion.

I've seen BTC price well supported in the 80K USD range, so there's no reason to be overly pessimistic at this time. The reason for this drop may simply be to return to a balanced range or fill the 78K-80K gap in early November 2024.

For the time being, I still believe that BTC can absolutely reach 150K this season, that's when we'll have altseason and top coins like ETH and SOL will take the lead with their impressive price increases. I'd be more surprised if the whales stopped their pump/dump game at this point, I know they're much greedier than that
