That's the big thing, which coins will survive long enough to see another season. An altcoin season that raises a coin 2x is great, but not if it's already sunk down 10x from where it was over the summer.
And people need to bear in mind that future buyers will not give the slightest fuck about the details of a particular coin. All it is to them is three letters on an exchange with a rising number next to it. They will latch on to whatever is placed in front of them.
No one's going to care about your pet coin's 'partnerships' or block time.
Those who are bag holding need to be completely unemotional about what they have. If there's profit dump into the frenzy and don't look back. Whatever I have that's worth something will be disposed of.
