What's your take on the "seasons" topic?

[CryptoCrookz]

One rather overused term in crypto are "seasons". I admit getting sometimes a bit lost whether we have now "altcoin season", "memecoin season" or whatever else. There are also people who have theories about which season follows which. Was wondering - is their anything more than anecdotal evidence for the existence and order of said "seasons"?

Altcoin season is just another term for a long term bullrun that covers most of different altcoins. I haven't heard the phrase memecoin season, i think that's invented by someone who wants to hype memecoins. I would call "memecoin season" as a meme coin trend. Difference to season would be that trends are very much shorter.

And there are only 2 "seasons": Summer (Bull) and Winter (Bear).

Someone might disagree with me as there are no real definitions to my knowledge to these terms. They are just memes from long time ago

It's just the cycle though, bull run and bear market season. I think for this market, altcoin season might be the pattern that it might break away from Bitcoin's own bull run. We all know that every altcoin is based on Bitcoin or at least their is a relationship between the two as every altcoin is a trading partner with Bitcoin. So if we same altcoin season, the market is on a bull run regardless if Bitcoin is on it's own bull run or not. And in the altcoin bull run, not only that it try to detach itself from Bitcoin, but maybe it's run is significant higher that Bitcoin itself. So if Bitcoin can let say in a day increased to 10%, in altcoin season, this market is going crazy like 20% or higher uptick in a 24 hour timeframe.

This is just their reference for the up trend, and as we can see right now Altcoins are doing great along with Bitcoin so we can consider this as a crypto season where many starts to adopt cryptocurrency and the result is the up trend. Don’t be confused and just focus on what matters here, continue to analyze and you can be good. Better to take advantage with the situation now, and have some profit.

Well the issue here is not the misuse of the season but the fear of missing out that this sort of informations causes in the cryptocurrency industry.

I believe we can be hopeful but speaking about the bull run happening or any season what so ever by just speculations can really cause FUD and FOMO in the cryptocurrency market. Many newbies has lost by follow such speculations.

It varies on the time when a certain project comes high and gives hype to the community. Like what it happened to Shiba Inu and Dogecoin had pumped out while the rest of the altcoins are still quite sleeping, and they called it meme coins season. I'd never think it was overuse OP, it will depend on how you called that particular time as this usually use to determine the market cycle like bull season and bear season. Besides, you can call them in a different way but this is already known to the market, and that sounds okay.

The signal of it to say that we're on that actual season is the market's visibility of being green for these altcoins and thus, the term is being used.

And you know that the language and slangs that's being used on this community are too many. So, don't be too focused with those slangs/slurs but be focused on learning how to adapt with the changes in the market if these trends have come.

Because from there, you'll get to see some ideas and signs if we're about to enter another bull run or such.

Whoops, forgive my naivety; I only know about the altcoin season. All I know about the altcoin season is that it's a season where bitcoin's dominance score is gradually diminishing, which shows that people are starting to switch to investing in altcoins since bitcoin itself has already passed its all-time high. People are searching for an alternative to find another way to gain profits. They sell their bitcoins, buy cheap altcoins, wait for their price to rise, and then sell. Usually people get hyped to buy any altcoin in this altcoin season since many altcoins will bloom. Many newcomers get FOMO and jump in to find their position. The altcoin market has turned green, and more people are interested in trading.

I think the evidence for the argument this market has seasons is very solid, just look at the charts and you will realize that even if the price of bitcoin does not move in the exact same way it shows similar patterns each four years.

Now what I was not aware was that some people mentioned the existence of meme coins season or the like, and when it comes to those coins it is true that they may show some extremely good performance from time to time, however since no periodicity can be inferred from those movements then it is incorrect to talk about the existance of seasons when it comes to those coins.

Altcoin season is real, it is the time that any shit, I mean shitcoin will pump hard and one of the things that accompanied it, is that a high number of scam coins will enter the space and people will lose money to them. It is the peak of the bull market where people stop using commonsense including VCs throwing money at any shining thing in the space

[ElmedoRator]

Honestly I don't get too hung up on the concept people are talking about, there's a lot of things in the market that we've come up with. However, my alternative view of bull and bear market cycles, remaining regardless of the accompanying terms, only adds to the complexity. We all see it happening from time to time and how people are reacting to the market, and speculation should stop at speculation because it's not entirely certain, especially with the market so full. current volatility.

It's literally what the term means, a period where certain events would happen, and in most cases, the first word before it would describe what events would actually happen. There's also no order for it really, it's just what people label whenever a period of time basically has the same hyped event. Most people usually use it for bull and bear seasons which is a general description of it, and in all honestly that's probably all you need. The rest are just, if I were to describe it, a "sub-season" for bull and bear seasons that target a more specific say, asset/s.

Its just a term made by the folks here to denote a specific time, like "Open Season" indeed it is more of a name than anything else. Nobody knows when the good times to buy/sell will happen and people tend to use the older years to predict these but truly speaking its not a 100% science.

It a neologism but it keep coming back because people like it and it becomes an easy way to denote the time. For bitcoin maximalists like us, it has little significance and it would be better for people to not follow these trends because they can be misleading, rather watch the charts and decide on your own.

The term "seasons" in cryptography is commonly used to describe periodic changes in the cryptocurrency market, when certain types of cryptocurrencies become more popular and attractive to investors.
Some people may have their theories about what type of cryptocurrencies will be the next "season", but this is most likely based on their own experience and market analysis, and not on any strict rules or theories.

This whole "seasons" thing is bullshit, and it's mostly just a hype created. Like, sure, there are times when certain types of coins seem to be doing better than others, but to call it a "season" might be a stretch. I think a lot of the time, it's just shillers and people behind those shit coins trying to drum up some excitement and FOMO. They want people to think "Oh, it's memecoin season, I better buy in now before I miss out! I will invest $1,000 now, few months later I will have a million dollar sitting on my protfolio." But really, there's no solid evidence that these "seasons" actually exist or follow any particular order. So yeah, I'd say let's take the whole "seasons" thing with a grain of salt and focus more on fundamentals and actual market trends. That's my two cents anyway.

Just simplyfy it, there are two seasons which is bull when the market keeps increasing and bear the market will keep decreasing and this mainly follows a cycle which is about 4 years now but in future we may expect the cycle to be lower timeframe. You need the evidence just open CMC or any similar site and open bitcoin price chart then choose life time frame and zoom in to view the both seasons one after another and who knows we are still at the bear trend or bull so that unpredictability is the beauty.

More precisely it is a term that many people use to describe a trend in cryptocurrencies. Like for example what happened a while ago, the bear season, it's to show that the market is in a state we don't want to see, because the market price fell from its ATH in the past. Actually something like this shouldn't be an issue because it's just an illustration, everyone may have their own term, it's just that the more popular term to describe the situation in this cryptocurrency is "season".

[SUPERSAIAN]

There are only two seasons in crypto markets. These seasons are referred to as the Bull and Bear season. These seasonal transitions can be much harsher in the crypto markets. Subjects that are temporary hype will continue to exist. Whatever the hype is, or if it has a new technology, it can be the focus of attention of investors, so demand occurs as soon as possible.

I do think that it is right. There is no set thing like real seasons. For example winter is not as cold as it used to be and yet spring is getting colder, we didn't start calling April winter though, we still call that spring. Which means that it is set and it won't be changing, or it requires something much bigger to change it at least, like the whole world getting together, plus its summer in south hempishere as well.

All in all I would be guessing that seasons in crypto is nothing alike, if it is a bull period it is a bull period, doesn't matter when that happens, we all know thats it. Which is why I am assuming that the seasons part is true and it is something that should continue to be used and I think it changes based on who you ask anyway.

Yes, some variable is predictable and follow the same path, for example about spending, people spend more in Q4 and spend less in Q1, that's because "holiday season" when people want to enjoy their one-year-long work at the end of the year, and nothing more to spend at the beginning of the new year. However, not every "season" is equally reproducible.

In your case, about meme-coin season and stuff, it's different than the seasonality I've been talking about. The meme coin or altcoin season is simply jargon, the more accurate term should be a trend, in it's a short-lived one. I mean meme-coin trend only last a few weeks/months without any reproducibility, thus next year there will be no meme-coin "season" IMO.
