Altcoins bull market will never happen

Let’s be real. This time is different.

I’ve been investing in crypto since October 2023, which turned out to be a perfect time to jump in. My portfolio started with 50% BTC, 20% ETH, and 30% altcoins.

But let me tell you—altcoins have been seriously underperforming. I knew Bitcoin was going to break out and head toward new all-time highs (ATH), so I thought, “No problem, alts will catch up.”

When BTC hit $35k, I figured normies were still scared, thinking we were in a bear market. I decided to give alts some time. When we hit $45k, I told myself, “Alright, once Bitcoin approaches its ATH, optimism will return, and alts will follow.” Then Bitcoin actually broke its ATH. I thought, “Here we go! The magic is about to happen!”

But here we are in December, and even with Bitcoin’s insane November pump, most altcoins are still below 50% of their March 2024 highs—let alone their peaks from 2021. Sure, a handful of coins have pumped 500%, but out of 10,000 altcoins, only 10 did that. Unless you got insanely lucky, you missed those moves. Even the big names like ETH, ADA, and DOT are nowhere near their highs.

So I said, “Just wait for the magical $100k.” BTC keeps climbing, $100k isn’t even a struggle anymore, and yet altcoins are still a disaster. Some lost 50% of their November gains in a single week. They’re now down 70% from March 2024 and 80–90% from their 2021 peaks.

So stop saying things like:

"Alts have pumped!" "Altcoin season is coming!" It’s not happening. It will never happen.
