I tried to warn you guys last year, when altcoins rally, time to exit bitcoin.

[Johnlomape]

Basically, the post topic I made was "Youtuber said best time to sell bitcoin is when altcoins rally? Is this true?"

Totally wrong; in fact the previous alt coin rally happens like it was a coincidence and if you think the documentary of this YouTuber is that reliable, then you should be able to predetermine the forth coming of the alt coin rally. Meanwhile the footprint remains undeterminable even if the record has been established.
For those anticipating for this event, be careful because you might be waiting for eternity with no outcome because the alt season had neither no be determinable nor traditionally initiated repetitive market be having instead it has only been imitating the flow of bitcoin market.

It will be seen as an unwise decision for any trader or invetsor to use the altcoins rally to determine to when to sell and leave the market. Non of these altcoins we are holding have control over the market and it will be a mistake to think that altcoins depreciation in price in a ranging situation is the best way to exit the market.
There are different players in the market and we can not assume that a rally should signal a total workout of the market since some investors would want to accumulate more during this rally to prepare for what is yet to come.

There isn't really anything surprising or complicated, it is just the cycle of bitcoin. So knowing that the price would fall this year wasn't really a shock, I also sold all of mine when it was above 100k as well.

While I had to spend that on medical bills and debt, so I do not have much to go back in right now, I will save as much as I can this year, to get as much as I can, my goal is just putting up 100 dollars a month every month, that's it. If you can do that, then you are going to get a lot better returns when the price goes back up.

Despite what so many people said about altcoins last year, what is so different (in a better way) with those altcoins in this year? There have been a whole bunch of shit and scam coins since last year and even a lot new ones has been added to the previous number,  so what is so special that should make someone sell their Bitcoin and then invest in altcoins during altcoins rally, meanwhile Bitcoin price even influences the price of those other altcoins and not the other way round, as for those people saying last year that there would be an alt season, how many of that expectation have come true? Is not everything you hear online that you should pay attention to.

Altcoins can never offer anything different from what their have always did last year we hard bounce of altcoins that pop up in the market but also failed to establish a foot for long time despite all the hypes that was created around it, majority of them were just pump and dump, most of them were just memecoins looking for investors to exit with they money, but few of them still depends on bitcoin to make their market moves, 2025 is not much different from 2026 as far as altcoins market is concerned.

Well said.
According to the bitcoin historical performances, experienced enthusiasts are already aware that this year will go bearish and in that case, we are not surprised of what we see today on the dump.
According to the four years cycle, we are also expecting the intensifying bull run to take place by 2029 but because then, there is possibilities that the price will begin recover before hitting new ATH.
Those that sold on the peak did not actually sold to buy alt coins but for other personal reasons such as yours and for the interests of taking profits.
Quite unfortunate for anyone selling his bitcoin on the dump to invest in the so called alt coins rally and perhaps since the bitcoin market decline the alt coin rally has not come. So it's obvious that it is a waste of time the strategy of the Op.
Instead, buying the dip and hold for the upcoming is best.

The sad truth is that there is not enough money to go around for all these different coins to be worth so much, let alone bitcoin to hold over 100K a coin by itself.

That actually happens when we enter bear market. People just took profits and that has to be reduced in the circulation in the market.

And this is normal when we're in the bear market. Because everyone's sentiment is scared and lack of confidence.

This shall pass and we'll see another avenue for where a huge batch of money coming in in another form of narrative.

Plus the fact that people understand they need to wait for another cycle to come before getting in to cryptocurrency.
In the market, we don't only have long term holders but also seasonal holders who see sign of bullishness and get in, there are many of them and usually only come near halving.
It's perfectly normal bitcoin cycle that we've gone through many times already.

Well, sometimes but not all the time IMO.

The inflow of money from the alts now goes into BTC, and vice versa. Usually, that's how the cycle goes, and that goes on like how the market peaks and then declines.

IMO, the best way is to take advantage of this and not just blame others for not exiting, etc. For me, it's best to get the BTC.D ^{(the BTC dominance chart)} and then check the volume flows between BTC and alts. At least there would be evidence that it's moving, or that there's a change in the volume or movement of money.

I agree, they're actually good when they do that. Seasonal or not, they know when to take profits and they're not emotional.

Compared to someone who held for so long and never took profits. While I am not encouraging everyone to take profits at this time even if they're at loss.

Obviously, we only do that when the market is in the bull run and right now, we're no longer there but this is the season to accumulate more.
