Oh, Pray Tell! The Altcoin Season That Eluded Thee! 😏

by

Whilst many a crypto trader doth languish in anticipation of the next grand altcoin season, the esteemed BitMEX co-founder, Mr. Arthur Hayes, hath declared-with all the confidence of a gentleman assured of his cravat’s perfection-that such a season hath been unfolding before their very eyes, unnoticed as a poorly-timed sneeze at a soirée.

“There is always an altcoin season afoot,” proclaimed Hayes, with the air of one explaining the obvious to a particularly dull housemaid. “And shouldst thou persist in thy lamentations that ‘tis nowhere to be found, ‘tis merely because thou didst neglect to purchase that which hath ascended most handsomely.”

Hayes, in a manner most vexing to those who fancy themselves connoisseurs of past triumphs, observed that many traders cling to the notion that seasons past shall repeat themselves with the predictability of a country dance. “Thou didst yearn for a repetition of the last season,” he chided, “for then thou mightest have fancied thyself in possession of superior knowledge.”

A Most Necessary Adjustment, Lest Thou Be Left Behind 🎩

“Oh, but I must purchase these very same tokens,” Hayes mimicked, with a flourish of sarcasm, “for did they not surge most gratifyingly in seasons prior?”

With the patience of a governess instructing a particularly obstinate pupil, Hayes implored traders to cast aside their antiquated notions and attend to the novelties of the present market. “This, dear friends, is a new season,” he declared, “and ‘tis new tokens that shall rise most splendidly.”

He did, with no small measure of satisfaction, single out Hyperliquid (HYPE) as the most diverting tale of this cycle, noting its ascent from a humble “two or three dollars” to a most impressive “sixty.”

Solana (SOL), too, received his approbation, having suffered a most ignoble decline to “seven dollars” in 2022, only to rebound-with all the drama of a heroine fainting upon receiving shocking news-to nearly “three hundred” at the dawn of this year.

“Once more, I say unto thee,” Hayes concluded, with the air of a man weary of repeating himself, “the altcoin season hath come and gone-thou wert merely absent from the festivities.”

Yet, as is ever the case in matters of finance and fashion, dissenters abound. The illustrious CoinQuant CEO, Mr. Maen Ftoui, hath recently informed CryptoMoon that elder cryptocurrencies-particularly those graced with an ETF or likely to receive one-shall command the lion’s share of capital in the coming season.

A Most Contentious Debate Amongst the Learned 🤔

The question of how-nay, when-the next altcoin season shall unfold hath divided the finest minds in the industry.

Some traders, clinging to tradition like a spinster to her parasol, await the customary progression: Bitcoin (BTC) attaining new heights, followed by Ether (ETH), and thence to the smaller altcoins.

Meanwhile, the sagacious analysts of Bitfinex proclaimed in August that a grand altcoin rally shan’t grace us until ETFs encompassing more than the largest cryptocurrencies receive the blessing of approval.
