People always ask, "When will altseason start?" My answer: It probably never will — at least, not like the good old days. Those big accounts hyping up the so-called “altseason” are just selling dreams. I’ve seen enough bull runs to know. The 2017-2018 cycle? It was wild, probably one of the best, because the market was so different back then. There weren’t endless coins to choose from, no futures for the majority of tokens, and most altcoins traded in Bitcoin pairs. When the market pumped, everything went up together.
But now? It’s all about money rotation, hopping from one trend to the next. Traders are diving into meme coins because they see insane returns, and narratives are constantly shifting. The truth is, the market isn’t built for those broad, across-the-board surges anymore.
If you’re hoping for the 2017-2018 altseason to return, it’s time to let that dream go. Today, it’s about putting in the work, staying sharp, and figuring out which trends have staying power. Sitting around and waiting for your altcoin to pump is a losing game. Find the narratives that are picking up steam — because, in this landscape, only those who adapt will thrive.
