Crypto Fall: The Useless Must Go, The Wise Will Survive

by

In the manner of a contemplative old man sitting upon his worn veranda, Benjamin Cowen, a man of reputation and repute, has spoken plainly about the fate of the myriad of altcoins-those beings of dubious worth that swarm the cryptosphere like flies. He warns, with the patience of a Tsar criticizing frivolous nobility, that most of these tokens, these fleeting shadows, are destined to fall into oblivion, to be swallowed by the earth as a testament to their uselessness.

The Great Cleansing

He insists, with a serious demeanor befitting the gravest of sermons, that this current cycle is not a miracle but a necessary purge. Like a wise peasant plowing under the weeds to let the real crops flourish, the crypto market must rid itself of the thousands of tokens that have no true demand or lasting purpose. These are mere chaff, driven only by the wind of speculation, not by the sturdy roots of utility or revenue. Truly, it is a lesson as old as mankind: what is weak shall be exposed in times of hardship.

Stop dreaming of alt seasons as though the gods have promised them. Most alts, mark my words, shall go to zero-vanish like smoke in the cold dawn. The crypto world must purge itself of the worthless rubbish; the midterm years are the perfect appointed hour for such a reckoning.

He further argues that these fragile projects, the ones with no backbone, are the first to falter when the winds turn and liquidity dries up-a fact that shocks no one who has eyes to see. The market’s harsh tests reveal its truths: only those with substance will endure. To his critics, who accuse him of hypocrisy or hypocrisy’s cousin, opportunism, he responds with a shrug that perhaps a storm is necessary to separate the wheat from the chaff. Such is the natural order, the way of the universe.

“Avoid Alt Seasons,” he declares

Hepages that perseverance and a steady hand, forged through years of experience, are what distinguish a wise investor from a fool chasing rainbows. He has always counseled prudence, even when the crowd jeered and mocked. To him, the wisdom lies not in hope or hype but in the cold, hard reality of risk management.

The real question is not whether all altcoins are worthless-though many are-but how the market will handle the excess. Cryptocurrency, much like a spring flood, floods the land with tokens-so many that the quality of each becomes irrelevant. When the waters rise and recede, only the durable assets are left standing-those with real security, liquid markets, and stories that can survive the tempest. It is a lesson in humility, as sure as the cycles of nature.
