Is there a possibility that only bitcoin will remain bullish this year? Can altcoin season be left out? The reason why I'm asking is some are already doubting, what if only very few altcoins grows higher in value and things failed to go the same way as that of 2017? What's your answer?

More than 90% of altcoins are junk anyway, and we'd be better off without them. I don't think about whether or not any of them will fail. Those that are worth are going to live, and that's what's crucial.

currently the uptrend is only for bitcoin and other big coins. there is no altseason right now as almost all altcoins on the market today are trash. Don't think the 2020 bulls will be the same 2017, you will only make the wrong decision if you still think like this. leave altcoins and just focus on bitcoin or other top20 coins. With this you won't have any problems when the bulls suddenly stop.

I'm starting to have my doubts too, it seems that this present bullrun is different, I'm guessing that many altcoins will be left behind, they won't bring any good profits like that of Jan 2018, it's better to choose altcoins from top 10 or top 20 atleast, if you think shitcoins will surge you better think again

Alt season is already here but no for the every token. You need to know what to buy to get profit on this altseason

There is, it's a huge possibility as the momentum now is really bullish.


I believe bitcoin is the main attraction now for investors, we haven't seen a real bullish run for altcoins, but it's possible that altcoins will follow the same trend as bitcoin continues to be bullish, it's still early, we can tell if bitcoin would really be consistent by breaking its current ATH.

You need high quality altcoins to get the most out of this bull season, some made good profits from shitcoins with very low volumes in 2017 but im not sure that history will repeat itself again, im thinking that only useful altcoins will ride along with bitcoin in this bull season and many bad altcoins will be abandoned

altcoin that have potency and usage in market will follow bitcoin movement,but for shit altcoin will die slowly. investors will buy only on qualified project or altcoin , they prefer to play safe in strategy and top altcoin will be their choice. but there is any opportunity for new altcoin project to rise as long as they prove as good project.

Ofcourse not. Just wait for the bitcoin dominance to go down and altcoins will explode too. That's what I observed last time. Also bitcoin will be the first to rise and will be followed with a parabolic movement of altcoin projects. But of course these altcoins are those major ones and potential one. Dont include here those scam shitcoins cause their growth is mainly due to hype and promotional shilling.

Usually altcoin season comes after bitcoin. If the pattern will go the same as the past years, that's likely to happen. But that doesn't mean that there could be a change in pattern and it will only be bitcoin getting a lot of pumps. If you look closely, a lot of alts are also pumping this time. There's no exception for this bull run that we get although a small portion goes for the alts.

There's but remember altcoin has also the same chance like bitcoin. Altcoin can't be left out. I think that you must watch the correlation between altcoin and bitcoin again.
If you are seeing it correctly and you will know the movement that will be making by the bitcoin traders after the traders have done with the bitcoin pump.
They will always move to the altcoins markets and then the same thing will be repeating again and again. Don't you see that the majority of altcoins are also getting pumped too.

I think a lot of people got burned from the last bull and most of the crypto money is in bitcoin.  Bitcoin dominance is way higher this time around so there is a good chance most alts will be left behind.  It will take a new group of new money for another alt pump.

If you are smart enough you'd build your altcoin portfolio with popular altcoins, it thus look like many altcoins will be left behind this time around, remember that this bullrun is powered by something different this time around, so different from the bullrun of 2017, choose good altcoins only and thank me later

Seems like it is altcoins turn now. Check the movement of bitcoin and altcoins price today. Bitcoin marketcap dominance slightly decreased. And almost every altcoin price increased up significantly. And those are still going up. XRP price have shown really impressive move in last 24 hours. Now we need to see how these thing ends finally. But maybe this time it won't be like 2017.

Honestly in my opinion, altcoin season just started, with ETH, XRP, LTC and some major altcoins doing really good. I think firstly, the big caps will pump, then small caps will follow suite. I'm not sure if we can have similar alt season like in 2017, but who knows, we might even surpass that and make a new ATH for most altcoins. My main happiness is that I've got a big ETH bag, and it's doing pretty well. 😊

Past price history is not an indication of future price action. ;)

All markets are unpredictable while cryptocurrencies are the least predictable. My personal opinion is that altcoins won't be able to keep up with Bitcoin. I mean I don't see big institutions pumping money into DASH or "nebula coin". Do you see any major fund buying altcoins? Have you noticed any trusts buying altcoin positions?

Personally I haven't. That means there is a high inflow of money into Bitcoin, while the altcoins get nothing. This might change in the future, but I'm not placing any bets here. :D

Well nobody can predict that this year or next we will see altcoin season or not but suddenly BTC price stop going up and ETH showing movement.
I investing on Altcoins and waiting for bull run but don't we will see but happy to see that BTC just going to cross ATH.

we're not still sure about that our markets are decentralized so there's no way we could predict it what we can see is that the bitcoin's price is increasing and let's just hope that the altcoins will bull run too. I still believe that the ethereum will increase it's

If you are real investor and looking for a long term investment, you would probably do the same and have all funds in bitcoin. Many altcoins are still in recovery mode since last bull run that was hype by ICO flame. Almost altcoins died, few survive but hardly fully recovered.
So many people rush into altcoins without even knowing the meaning and aim of them. They were hoping to double their investment and when the whole scenario didn't goes as plan, they frame bitcoin as ponzi scheme.
This current bull run we are experiencing is healthy adoption fuel by PayPal, institutional investors and influencers. Altcoins will grow generally but that will be when Bitcoin is consolidating on correction.

If we are going to check the market then you are right, bitcoin is only the one who is in bullish by this year 2020 but let's just hope that the alts can recover in 2021.

There is still chance that the alt season can still happen like what happen in the past especially if the bull season will be triggered as right now the bitcoin is dominating the alts so we cannot probably see the altcoin season by this year but maybe in 2021.

I think this all depends on how we define bullish in respect to different tokens in the crypto currency space; to a greater extent, etherum has been bullish in respect to bitcoin, and so has many alternate tokens. The bullish trend should continue for a while until an external force alters and forces price reset. Until then, look deeper, stay in profit and do your own research,

I think the pattern is going to be similar this time around as well just like the market did last time. So if you are holding good alts the power bull effect will definitely be seen there it is just a matter of time but if you do not want to wait then you should ideally be in btc ir eth as these 2 top coins always enjoy the first mover advantage.

The last few days have been tough days for the Altcoin market, because, despite the relatively strong performance of Bitcoin (BTC) in recent times it doesn't seem to have affected the other top altcoins. In fact, in the past week BTC has even risen more than 5% from around $17,300 to this new high of $18,690. This event is also quite unique, the curved altcoin not joining the strong BTC price action for the first time in recent years. Many predict this is due to a shift on the way crypto investors allocate their capital to the market.

Even with a high percentage that altcoins wont be bullish again, I will keep mine.
My supported altcoins was not really dumped that hard so I guess that is something positive to remain on supporting them.
At some point, bitcoin short term buyers will sell. That could be the hope which may take the altcoins back to the line.
But don't expect much. It might happen just for a short time.

It is always like that mate, there is no guarantee that each coin listed in the market will be seeing equal bulls because it depends on multiple different factors for each coin or project, so definitely this time too some coins will make it big and some will make it small while some will stay around current price levels and some will even lose their current value as well.

I think some altcoins already experienced huge growth before now and some of them are still growing. However, it seems that bitcoin bullishness most times leads to altcoins bearishness and I have been trying to understand why is that. That said, it is very possible to see more altcoins gain more values before the year comes to an end. But I doubt if we will see the kind of growth we saw in the crypto market about three years ago.

Bitcoin is now in the way of bullish again to reach its ATH (although probably not this year). And some altcoins are following the positive trend of BTC, having good significance in increasing their price. However, let's see on the market, they are increasing, but some are not. The uptrend of the altcoin season is now still beginning, it may start not to know it is for a while increase or will continue again following the BTC.

But to be the same as what bullish in 2017, it still needs time, mate. It may not be as easy as in the past for the altcoins to have its bullrun again and its season again.

By the way, where did you find the data? I am curious about this.

Back in 2017 investors are investing in any coin that they fancy, without thinking about what it will contribute or what it is going to offer, there is a big possibility that the majority of the altcoins will not have their own bull run and will be left behind, investors have learned a lot and they know how to cut their losses and take advantage of the situation, they are now looking on the top coin, not just any coin that can only promise but never deliver.

I am not here to make some claims but everytime the majority feels the same that new highs or new peak is not possible, i have heard this from many people few years ago when market was gearing up for big bull run just like now but people were just in denial that it cannot simply happen but in the end it did happened making many millionaires.

Why guess now, when it starts soon and we will see everything. We must live in the present, not look into the past

Good altcoins are pumping right now together with bitcoin so I don’t think only one can succeed this year as many are enjoying their profit right now with bitcoin and altcoins. Stop comparing the market from the previous bull run, because this is a different situation and cryptocurrencies are trying their best to survive and I believe that altcoins are also doing great this year, we’re gonna fly high soon.

Of course the altcoin season is coming soon, we just need to be patient until the dominance of Bitcoin drops and the price of Bitcoin is
more stable. According to my prediction, in 2021 there will be an altcoin season, so just keep the altcoins that you have. But it is possible
that not all altcoins will be pumped, therefore investment in altcoins has a real potential. Don't choose altcoins that go up because of the hype,
do some research and analysis on the altcoins you want to buy.

Bitcoin is growing because of institutional investors. Institutional investors aren't stupid, they can easily see through bullshit of all these shitcoin "projects", they don't buy the blockchain/decentralization/etc, hype, they like Bitcoin because it has proven itself to be resilient and solid. 2017 altcoin rally was largely driven by retail investors who wanted to get rich quick, so they were buying every single shitcoin out there, but this time retail investors aren't joining, and I doubt they will be buying alts this time, because now we have a history that shows that alts perform worse than Bitcoin.

It won't happen like the past but it will be here, only the strong and legit product will be pump and it's going to pump hard. I think.

Which market you are watching, whenever the price of bitcoin rises the entire market is rising along with it, if your focus is the token market that died off then you are watching the wrong market altogether  :P.
Check whether the project you are watching is dead because all the major alt coins in the market are rising along with bitcoin.

Some of the alts have soared up already, especially XRP and DIA which both have increased their value significantly in just 24 hours. The Ripple CEO said that investors have put huge amount money on bitcoin that might lead to a bullrun.

the possibility is still there as long as you hold the top altcoins in the market especially like Ethereum, Binance, EOs, Litecoin, Polkadot, Xrp most of them still have a chance to increase their price even higher than the current price. moreover knowing that BTC has pumped in over $ 18k I believe that this could affect the prices of other top altcoins as well.

In the last 24hours altcoin is surging just like thy did in 2017, take it or leave it altcoin season is happening, the only coin I can see suffering right now is stable coin like USDT, ChainLink is at 14$, LTC is at 83$, BNN is close to 30$, in the last 7 days few altcoins have grown over 50% already, DYOR

maybe, but why invest in coins that are sure don't have a future, I suggest to invest in the top 10 coins in the market they surely give you profit, investing in what they call shit coins are just a waste of time and money of course, unless you really want to waste, i have invested on this top coins and never fail me, I get profits from them, never fails just make sure your timing is right

This. The market in 2017 and 2020 is really different and most of the people in 2020 already understand about altcoin in depth compared to 2017 where everyone think alt is the new btc everytime a new one emerging.
Can't expect the market to be overly bullish like it was 2017 but I would expect a steady bull run by 2021 but not as crazy as it was in 2017

If anyone says the current altcoin season may not be like 2017, that's absolutely true. Because now investors are more careful
in choosing altcoins for investment, so not all altcoins pump. And also the price increase is not as fast as 2017, some of the top
altcoins prices are rising slowly following the increase in Bitcoin price. For example, ETH, XRP, LTC and LINK have started to see
the price go up. But the increase is not as fast as Bitcoin, so you have to be more patient now if you want to make big profits
from altcoins.

We don't know that, but we have an expectation that 100% of the altcoins also go up when the bitcoin price goes up. This is also the same as in 2019 when the price of bitcoin went up, but it made the price of the altcoin go down. however, we need to wait for this. I'm just waiting for the bitcoin price to hit $ 20k again, and I believe altcoin season will catch up with that.

I think we have shared the common observation Mate, 2020 Bullish trend is not like 2017, that most of the Altcoin price is going crazy.
IMHO, today's Bullish trend is more on organic growth and not artificially induce unlike in 2017 bullish trend, thats why we can visibly notice that not all altcoins are gaining much price increased but only those cryptocurrencies that have a demand.

Many top altcoins have been growing in price all this year and various altcoins are still growing in price and especially Ethereum this year has grown in price and 2020 is not over yet, so the growth of altcoins will continue until the end of this year at least, and indeed I think in 2021 growth of the entire cryptocurrency market is also expected.

It will happen and I actually believing in trading that history repeat itself but not majority of the coins will increase like what happen in the 2017 bull run, The alts season will come and I now currently seeing a lot of opportunities in some of altcoins. Kindly look at the XRP/USD in daily timeframe, its price increased 40% in just one day and it happened yesterday. Big players are now re investing their money in altcoins that make some of them to pump like crazy. I suggest to other traders out there that you should now start to acquire potential altcoins in order to not miss this kind of opportunity because the bull run is coming and we should be prepare if we want to maximize the gains that we can get to it.

Market is very unpredictable, few days back nobody expects btc to have such a spike in price, in the presence of everyone watching btc price pump so high that some people consider it as the btc bull run, such are the surprises you get in crypto,
Btc has dominated the market, alts finding it difficult to tag along, am no expert so I can say what will happen next, 90% of my portfolio is alts so I do really want to see alts price run as well, right now am just keeping my fingers crossed looking forward to any unexpected surprise  8)

Not really, XRP has gone good and it is an altcoin so I won't say that altcoin will be left though there are other altcoin I guess. The highlight of this year's coin is bitcoin because of the bullish trend and having a good market price as the year 2020 going to end. Yet, we cannot say that altcoin could be left out and I still have high confidence of some altcoin that are really doing well directly proportional to the bitcoin market. There are few and you will just be able to notice it or learn it in coinmarketcap.com. There are so many list of altcoin and try to go check with them one by one.

when bitcoin moves smooth and slowly altcoins follow it as well. when bitcoin moves rapidly, even when it rise, all market goes down. after btc stop running perspective alts are recovering, rest alts keep falling. in 2017 not much people knew about that.

altcoins season still has a lot of opportunities to grow but it's not as crazy as 2017, for now only the top altcoins and new altcoins actually have a legitimate product, forget the altcoins craze of 2017 and remember it's 2020 and everyone is smarter.

Maybe not like the past, because we have seen coins do 10x or even 20x at times back in the day and I am not sure if we are going to see that ever again, that is way too much to increase in crypto world nowadays. However it will probably be seen once again at levels of 50% type of increases, just now XRP has increased from 25 cents or so a week ago into 40+ cents now and that type of increase is doable in crypto world.

What won't happen would be XRP going from 25 cents to 2.5 dollars or even 5 dollars, that is not going to happen and would be very unlikely. So expect coins to reach new all time highs eventually, but that won't happen quickly, first it will go from 1 to 1.4 or so, then it will drop to 1.2 then go to 1.6 then go down to 1.5 and to 1.9 and so forth up and down until it reaches a new all time high that way over course of few years.

i don't think if the altcoins will be left out. i'm not an expert to trading but if we are going to base on from before scenario i really think they wouldn't be left out maybe we could just wait for them to be bullish as i've seen on the coin marketcap some coins are started to increase now.

Since a very good number of altcoins are shitcoins, then it is good to understand and bear in mind that only few altcoins will experience the bull run, there is no doubt about it. 2017 was different as many people were doing blind investing thinking many coins are worth it, but from 2017 till date, many things have changed, many things have happened and people have learnt a lot, investors can now differentiate between good altcoins and worthless altcoins, and hence no one will want to invest in worthless coins. Therefore, the understanding that only few altcoins will be part of the altcoin season, with a good number going to major altcoins.

Now the market is experiencing positive dynamics in the growth of the altcoin exchange rate. Many believe that this is only the first wave of growth for altcoins, and next year there will be a second.

Most of the altcoins that are running well in the years 2017-2018 are not moving now even I don't have much expectations from those coins. Yes, I am also thinking the same way that this time altcoins will not move like previously in 2017-2018. I believe new altcoins will rise more than old coins.

Yes, this is the way I see through things here in cryptocurrency. It is only bitcoin that has gone good compared to other altcoins like XRP. I have high hopes in this coin even though other members are stating that this coin does comes from a centralized and that can't be good as a digital currency. But to what I was expecting is different because of the recorded ATH on 2017 that reaches even 4$ compared now to which it does not even reach to 1$. Not only XRP but to other crypto as well like BCH and some good alt coins.

By now everyone should have known that things are going to be different this time around, in December 2017 things aren't as same they are today, what drives the bullrun of 2017 is way different from today's bullrun, I'm just hoping that Bitcoin will be able to beat 20k this time around cos it matters, I hope that will happen soon and also altcoins aren't that bullish like in the past but it's too early to tell now since the bull isn't over yet

They just have small kind of movement maybe because many people already learn their lesson from the past and don't want to follow hype or trend of altcoins today since they experience a lot way back then . Right now if they see a profit they already take it and they don't wait for another more months hoping for the price increase and became trap in the position they never want. As of now the difference of ath from altcoin and high compared to what it is in 2017 .

It really is different from the last time, i mean way back 2017. It was a huge success for most alts especially eth. But now it is a downer, when btc recently finally got around 19k usd, i was hoping the rest would follow but they did not. I still got some ADA but bought it when it was around 1 dollar so waiting for it to go back or beyond that point. It's 3 years ago so I am expecting in return for some of my alts to give me profits. Well let's see and wait for some miracles.

If BTC remain bullish，then my opinion is altcoin season is definitely will come， but i hope is not the same as 2017，many of the coins that soared in 2017 are moribund now, and some have even gone back to zero，that is not i wanna see.

The season of altcoins will definitely be, after such an increase in bitcoin, but I think that not all altcoins will grow, but only top ones, which really have some kind of product and are developing.

Yes, only part of the Altcoins are able to keep up with the trend of Bitcoin so that they are able to increase their price in the market, actually something like that is not the season for Altcoin, because it has happened before on several occasions.

Knowing how unstable and so volatile the market especially the altcoins makes us feel doubtful of the circumstances that it will left behind by the bullish run of bitcoin but I still have a strong confident altcoins will also climbed up and will also have its bullish run knowing that many big investors mostly corporations, millionaires and billionaires are now getting attracted in the crypto investment.

In my own opinion, I would say you shouldn't expect the anticipated altcoin season to be like that of 2017 with reasons. The first reason is, during that 2017 there were few coins and most project team then were after value and Integrity, hence developing a good number of projects of which a good number of them are still working. Secondly, that was also an era when a good level of attention was channelled to Bitcoin which grew up well and later led to altcoin season.
But nowadays everything is different, first we have a big load of altcoins here and there, wherein most people see some as just pump and dump, where a good number do not have anything to offer just hype the token and it dumps. Also, the DeFi trend currently taught many people a lesson hence with this market growth this past days, a lot of attention where paid on old coins, hence the reason they were the ones enjoying a good pump. Lastly, people having learnt that a good number of coins and tokens have nothing to offer, focused only on coins that are worth it, hence as some are dumping others are growing.
Furthermore, in a bid to answer the question, only Bitcoin will not remain bullish but all top coins.

It's coming right now but it's a bit different with the altcoin season that happened in the past caused by there are so many people that blindly bought crypto without know the fundamental of projects. A few years have passed and so many people have started to get more knowledge about crypto since the last big bullish trend that was happening at the end of 2018.
This time people is very well educated about how to determine the legit project based on how strong the fundamental that owned by the project.

Those coins that have lost up to 90% of their value will never return to their previous values. This list was replenished this year with new defi tokens, which were pumped up to x1000 and deflated to the previous price. And those who bought such coins on high will also not return their investment.

it depends on how to choose the altcoins, there are lots of bullish altcoins but only for a moment but most altcoins are worthless

I know that the force that push "bitcoin" in this year is mainly due to massive exposure and adoption as integration to many of popular platform payment method but I can't the same thing happened to altcoins though.

Altcoin is still lagging behind compared to bitcoin in term of adoption which is the main reason why bitcoin reaches new ATH right now. Some of altcoin like ETH that has upgrade to 2.0 might have the chance of being pumped but other altcoin's in limbo right now.

@Bitbtc8, ever since the world was hit by the pandemic everybody understands that everything about this year market (including the crypto market) will be different and this is what shows in Bitcoin bullish market cause most investors and miners are after profit but that doesn't mean Bitcoin or altcoin season won't happen like the past although it may be a little delay.
@poodle63, the main force that pushes Bitcoin price this year is not only the massive exposure or adoption because halving played the most vital role. Mind you, halving was implemented for inflation control in the market.

I haven't seen Altcoin season yet.  This year is almost over. I don't think Altcoin season will be like 2017. In 2017 the prices of Bitcoin and Altcoin increased proportionately. But this year we’ve only seen the bullrun of bitcoin.

The vast majority of alts on the market are garbage, no one want to deal with them.
Are you scavenging in the trash outside your house for food? I don't think. So why are you digging through a ton of junk coins in the hope of finding "gold"?

Who knows... Anything can be possible at the moment. I believe when Bitcoin starts to come down after reaching the maximum possible value in this season, altcoins will start to perform. But considering the market cap of BTC, for an altcoin to perform in par with BTC, it is required to have a considerably higher market cap.

Due to many negative news and scams happen before, many doubts altcoins now. Only few project from 2017 is still active up to now, many will just tend to buy btc than to risk in altcoins especially this bullrun, there is also a effect from DeFi hype before that altcoins didn't push too much to be bullish.

One thing I am sure of is that Altcoisn season will return but not all these Altcoins will pump, we have reached a stage where we separate the good projects from the bad and also people need to be wary of pre-2018 ICO projects, there are a lot of bag-holders now most won't pump at all

Am sure alot of people also said that about bitcoin. Many also called bitcoin a scam when it started out 10 years ago. But we know the story has changed now and many have embraced it. This is the same way I know many will turn back a few years from now to call the 90% you call junk nice tokens. I do not think your statistics is accurate that the bad altcoins are up to 90%. Your comment is an exaggeration.

Forecasts are just a guess. No one could have predicted that bitcoin, let alone altcoins, would show such dynamics. According to statistics, such cycles occur every four years. This may indicate that an equally exciting cryptocurrency race is waiting for us in 2021. 2021 will be an interesting year.

What are you even saying, what do you mean altcoin season? Even during the last bull run in 2017 when Bitcoin reached an ATH price was it every altcoin that increased in price, if not Ethereum, BCH, LTC, and a few others that are top of the list? That’s the same thing that is happening now, we are seeing just a few of them go up, so I don’t know what you mean altcoin season.

Ethereum has already increased from a very low price below hundred dollars to over $500. Even XRP, the last two weeks before November ended, we saw XRP increase more than a hundred percent and neared $1 before going down to half of it. And it’s not just these two coins, there are other altcoins increasing, even DeFi, or don’t you know that DeFi is part of altcoins?

Whether it hits 20k or 50k or not, what I actually wish is that it doesn't drop like it always drops after reaching great heights. I always feel better to have a constant and solid 25k then having a ballooned 50k which can drop anytime.

The altcoin market is never going to be the same again because when it initially started there were serious developers and entrepreneurs who had a good intention when making new coins but now it is just all comedy where anyone can come and create their own coin by saying we are going to decentralize this and that while actually having the sole intention to juice out money from innocent investors.

It is still early to tell the direction of altcoins but I also dont think all the altcoin will have the bull run. Defi are altcoins as wll and they have made a good profit in the market, some think CEX and KYC are reasons for the slow market movement but have seen a good growth of DEX and coin listed on it. Hack from the same DEFI could have reduced the rate of growth in altseason but I still think DEFI and NEFTI will have a good run when bitcoin breaks $20k, Eth breaks $1000 and sustain it

the year is already ending and that was still early ? lets accept it that there are no alt season that happen this year .
 i know eth and few big alts have experience an increase somehow but they are too few to call it as a season or alt season but the real alt season is what happen on the 2017 where 96 percent of the crypto are increasing .

 my coments are only aplicable by this year but we still have next year and many more years to come and the faith of altcoins can still change and the history that we want can still repeat .

maybe it only applies to the top altcoins, if the holders of ico coins or the result of the bounty the odds are quite few and can only hope that they still have a sale value in the market. but I personally don't doubt BTC or other top altcoins, I believe they still have a chance to increase the price again one day.

I also feel that the altcoin season is not going to be like in 2017. However, right now the price of bitcoin is really dominating, and when the price goes down altcoin prices will really dump. in fact, dumps occur in 90% of all altcoins. if there is a large increase, it is likely that it will only be an individual increase.

We already saw Bitcoin rising very high before the end of the year. And altcoins have not experienced the same increase as bitcoin, and even considering the current market conditions. Bitcoin is experiencing another correction and of course altcoins will experience the impact of the decline in bitcoin.

I only trust top coins these days because they're the ones who follow the Bitcoin trend. I'm sure that those coins with a firm foundation would continue to boom when the altcoin season happens. It's hard for me to trust new coins these days because most of them usually end up the same way.  

Bitcoin will always be the first to have its bullrun and then the altcoins are just sort of the fall back when investors see that they need to put their investment to an altcoin that they think will also be adopted.  BTC will first to break the $20k and then up to $25k I guess before we can see some altcoins to get much returns.  Not sure if its going to happen next year either but its good to see people are hopeful for it.

No one knows.
Bitcoin's price is unstable, but most likely we'll get correction like what's happening right now actually where it fell back from 19k to 17.9k as of writing this reply.
For altcoin season, we never know as well. Too many shitcoins to think if altcoins could still bound to exist one day.

Probably yes, but not entirely. There are some coins will be bullish like how bitcoin is doing but the exception will be new projects in my opinion which was overboomed in 2017 which is unlikely to happen in 2020 bullish trend.

I assume that after repeated attempts to set the price of bitcoin above 20 thousand dollars, its price can be adjusted and this will lead to the beginning of the altcoin season. Most of the top altcoins have great potential to reach their ATH, but whether the altcoin season will be as long as you write, will still depend on bitcoin.

Does it mean that anytime that Bitcoin is bullish that most Altcoins go bearish. Most a times we see it happen that BTC pumping leads to altcoins dumping and I begin to ask why?

My best bet remains on bitcoin, I knew things will drastically change in the next bull season and right now I believe I'm right, bitcoin reach 20k on binance weeks ago and major altcoins only brings up to 30% gains, that's it? In 2017 when bitcoin hit 19-20k altcoins start pumping so madly now things aren't the same anymore, maybe bitcoin needs to go higher than 20k to see another altcoin season?

Almost all of top-ranking altcoins were low-ranking altcoins in the past and made good profits for early adopters. Investing in altcoins and tokens is quite similar to VC investments. You should understand project goals and why it can succeed and don't put all eggs in one basket of course.

it was very good that you mentioned it. because until a few weeks ago I was thinking about it. Altcoins are a long way from reaching their ATH in relation to bitcoin and in US dollars

for example:

ETH managed to reach over $1200 when the price and bitcoin was $19000, today the price of bitcoin is at $19000 and the price of ETH is at $580

and has altcoins that the case is much worse. for example:

Bitcoin cash has reached more than $3500 and today is less than $280

Neo reached $150, today it's $18

It is clear that altcoins will not have the same price as the past

You should keep in mind that there was blockchain bloating problem with BTC at that time, fees were very high, so a lot of new people went to altcoins because of that. They were cheaper (more affordable for newcomers) and faster. I believe the same reason will lead people from Ethereum to TRON. And it can happen again with BTC as well.

Altcoin season may still happen, but not for all altcoins. only a few top coins may have the opportunity to hit the price like at the end of 2017, maybe only the top 20 or top 30. that is because investors are no longer investing in projects carelessly and they are better off playing it safe with top coins

i think in 2017 everybody bought altcoins. people with knowledges and without them. and people without knowleges was much more that people with education. now in cryptomarket pool of traders and investors much more than random people. plus many of us have except that experience.

I agree that only a small amount of altcoins will grow in the upcoming altseason, most likely from the top 100. But the alt season must be mandatory, because after the release of money from bitcoin, they have nowhere else to pour, except in altcoins.

The bull run is not yet done and the price of Bitcoin still holds at $19k well let's assume that anytime the price of the altcoins will increase too. As far as I've know it's not literally going to happen if yes it might be a coincidence. Well the price of other alt such as Ethereum and Ripple is soaring too.

That is the thing that I noticed last time. Likewise bitcoin will be the first to rise and will be followed with an illustrative development of altcoin ventures. Obviously these altcoins are those significant ones and possible one. I feel that you should watch the relationship amongst altcoin and bitcoin once more. In the event that you are seeing it accurately and you will know the development that will make by the bitcoin brokers after the dealers have finished with the bitcoin siphon.

Generally all focus remain on Bitcoin, however some alts also will move high. This season might not happen like the 2017 where some junks alts gained massive growth. This time will be strictly for value alts that's is promising and Bitcoin.

Of course we won't see the same growth from other coins that we have seen in the past but I think that this is even for the better, because now projects that will be worthy will grow and not as before that pumped up and then flew to the bottom even more than it cost before.

It’s unpredictable, bitcoin is expected to reach a really high price in 2021. Alts ride on the back of bitcoin if we’re honest so we might see a big alt season but maybe after bitcoin hits its next big peak & then begins to correct. Possibly we see bitcoin hit over $50,000 per coin in late 2021 & a massive alt rally in early 2022.

With Bitcoin, some altcoins also get a pump but not all altcoins. Even BTC gets dumped altcoins Dumped ROI will be huge. Don't expect bull run from altcoins. If you want to catch a bull run and don't want to make a loss the Choose bitcoin. I know that in the bull run altcoin's ROI will be higher than bitcoin but the risk is yours.  But I think only Top-rated altcoins can catch the bull run.

altcoins are going up. just take a look at XMR. there will be a time of altcoins but some may not notice it because they are focused too much on BTC and have ignored the ones that are very quite. when you get to watch btc too much, the buzzing news of altcoins is just tiny voices. the ones you only hear are the buzz of tokens you hold.

Some alts have already moved a lot so i just got the feeling that market has matured a bit and most of the actove and legit alts have already gained decently in value in last few months, if you are looking for something like 2017 i think you have to wait more.

Hopefully we will experience that again mate, it's sad to see my blockfolio right now didn't able to gain that high just like before. During 2017 Bitcoin didn't just pump all alone but also most altcoins projects seems to be progressive during those days. Many of us luckily earned great profit and exchanges were congested because of it, but that reality in life changes always tends to happen beyond our control.

I don't think so, buddy. If Bitcoin can be bullish, altcoins should follow it. Bitcoin and altcoins have a strong correlation. We also don't forget if Bitcoin is one of the factors of the bullish or bearish in altcoins. It was proven in some current increases, once Bitcoin price was increasing significantly, then the prices of most altcoins followed it well.
