one of the reasons I think people are frustrated with this cycle is because it isn't like 2021 where you could just buy ANY alt and they would all go up 2x in a week OR you could mint a NFT for $100 and instantly be able to flip it for $5,000 these days you have to fully understand where money is flowing and what the "meta" is at any given moment in time at one point in this cycle it was gaming, then it was memes, then it was celebs, then it was AI, then it was internet capital markets, then it was streaming... and there was good money to be made in these times, but you had to get in and get out before the music stopped meanwhile there are TONS of alts from 2021 that are STILL down 80% from their all time highs last cycle I keep seeing people talk about there being "alt season" soon, when in reality there are "alts" that are running BUT it is only very specific tokens that come up and run every few weeks or so... and you have to identify them as fast as you can so yeah I can see where the frustration comes from when attention moves from thing to thing so fast, most coins will have one run and then die forever with no bounce, and you have to be super tapped in to what is going on or you will get stuck in last weeks shiny thing these days when altcoins / memecoins dump... they dump hard. you can be in a coin that has a $500 million dollar marketcap and then BTC will dump 2% and then that coin you're in dumps 50% in one day... it's absolutely insane the days of just buying coins and waiting for the entire market to go up is just not here anymore because there are too many coins now and not enough liquidity or attention for all of them to pump at the same time
