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

[Charles-Tim]

If Ethereum does not perform well this year, it is difficult to see it as the best alternative to Bitcoin in the coming years, especially if it loses the second place in terms of market cap, which is possible with some alternatives.

Ethereum is not twice the marketcap of ripple anymore. It is very possible that ethereum will lose the second place one day.

There is no alternative to bitcoin. We are only gambling with the altcoins.

As for SOL, I think it has performed well, but if a big correction (+80%) occurs, it is difficult for it to come back again, so the correction is what will determine its future.

I will not be surprise if solona drawdown to $30. Not now but during bear market.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

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.

        -      Of course I believe that altcoins will shine this year 2025, we just don't really know when it will start, and we also don't know which of the altcoins,
meme coins and others like gamefi coins will shine.

But the important thing right now is that we can only take advantage of the opportunity to do dca or accumulation in crypto assets
that we think can provide a good profit.

Gamefi? Does it really provide a new innovation for crypto today? I think the hype about games has died down and it's been missed... I myself never thought that gamefi would really be the latest financial solution today.. the era has really changed and now the memecoin trend seems to be reaching its end... we are not so excited about memecoin, so a new trend will come soon and IMO, it's not from gamefi....

I'm still curious about AI, everything related to AI still has a trend... and there is also hope that something related to AI in the cryptocurrency industry can shine after memecoin fades.

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.

Its hard and too early to tell if its possible. Trump just took his oath and now on serious tariff wars, and there was news of the US making Bitcoin part of its reserve. This has caused uncertainty in an already volatile market.
Its hard to predict because Trump is very unpredictable; of course he is supporting cryptocurrency, but the global news also has an impact on the market, so we have to follow the market closely so we can take the right action.

I've been trying to figure out what's next for crypto and it's tough with how wild the market gets. I've heard some smart people say bitcoin could shoot up to $200k by 2025 and I'd love for that to happen, it'd be huge! But then others are like, 'Hold up, it might crash down $73k', and that't got me a little nervous. I've also been eyeing altcoins like Ethereum and Solana because they could grow even more, percentage wise, though they feel riskier. I'm thinking about spreading my money across a few different coins so if one tanks, I'm not totally sunk. With all the crazy stuff happening in the world right now, like ware and elections, I feel like anything could shake things up. I try to keep up with the news but it's a lot to take in. Honestly, i might even chat with a money pro before I decide what to do, just to feel more solid about it.

He tests investors out.

Once he lets them go and leaves them to be confident, all is going to be good.

The investor's test is very tough in this case if the Trump pattern is difficult to predict, the fear is that when BTC is rising, Trump will speculate which could cause BTC to fall drastically, or issue economic policies which affect BTC itself as has been done

This year Trump will certainly make new policies or modify the old ones in every department according to the plans his team will propose, some will be in support of market and some plans won't like this tariff, which dumped the market but it does not mean market will be red forever.

This is temporary and market has the potential to recover due to large number of good news. Other than this, in future more bad news are on the way because he will change or make new policies again and those will impact the market too.

Overall, we just should hodl through.

Because we won't know how the market will be affected by Trump and how other spheres will affect the market that interests us - the crypto market.

Let's not get too caught up in the euphoria of President Donald Trump, it's all over. Trump's decisions do not fully support Bitcoin, although some time ago there was a change after Trump's commitment. Now we focus on the Altcoins that we have, don't let us take the wrong step and we lose our assets for the umpteenth time again.

BTC is still have potentials to pump harder and can touch more than we think, All crypto influencer have different their target regarding BTC price for 2025 as we can predict the price in range of $100K to $200k but for most of the investor fund are stuck in alts and alts has still not performed as we expected due to ETH is still under perform.

As we know the ETH is king of all ALTS, market is want some few Green candles to change the situation of market. Just HOLD the Spot bag until the ETH not touch $5000 to $8000.

Trump goes for the gains first and foremost.
He is no enthusiast by any means.

It will always happen, as you said, and it is impossible for DT's policy to have negative results for the reserves that are owned and we always hope that it will continue to increase, and we must be patient waiting for what DT might do in the future.
All good news or not all depends on the market that absorbs it and all will be anticipated if it does not match what is used as a reference so that the market will follow what they want.

Now it is the time to look forward in a little more relaxed and composed manner as to what the next steps to be taken are. Of course, every decision made always has repercussions, it is noteworthy, though how they can work with assets at the proper level of professionalism. There is hardly a need to be concerned by this and be rushed by other conditions that are still in the process of evolution. When owning your assets, you will have full control and always arrive at the correct decision when there’s proper understanding and evaluation of the existing market. This means that as far as one is keen in observing the existing developments, the risks that may be involved can be controlled. At the same time, there are still plenty of opportunities of which it is only necessary to wait and act calmly and more cautiously.

So far the Trump administration just took oat of office recently and are just beginning their administration. Maybe he should be given a little time to properly fix things up. Although his actions currently affects the Crypto market but it's just unfortunate that he has to take some drastic decisions for the benefit of his country which I believe every elected President would do first.  At this point, the crypto community just need to be very cautious while trading.
