This Guy Says Altcoins Will 5x-And He’s Betting His Lunch Money on It

If you’ve ever wanted to feel dizzy and poor simultaneously, might I recommend glancing at the latest crypto charts? They’re more volatile than my blood sugar after Halloween. While the rest of us are busy clutching our wallets like they’re precious heirlooms, Michael van de Poppe-crypto’s answer to the Magic 8 Ball-has decided that now is the time to use his portfolio as a lottery ticket. 🚀

Why All-In? (Because Why Not?)

Van de Poppe insists there’s plenty of room for altcoins to thrive and embarrass anyone who sold at a loss in April. A lot of these coins, he says, haven’t even made it back to the overcooked levels they achieved in early 2025, which probably coincided with my ill-advised decision to buy coffee futures. Instead of sounding an alarm, he sees this lag as the kind of bargain opportunity that makes traders giddy and their spouses nervous.

Apparently, if you squint at the charts, you can see life-changing returns: he’s talking about 200-500%. If that happens, I’ll finally be able to afford avocados again.

I remain all-in into #Altcoins as I think that there’s 200-500% to be made in the next 2-4 months.

A lot of #Altcoins haven’t really gotten back to their levels from early ’25.

Of course, some aren’t going to be showing momentum, but the recent move of $ETH is the first step…

One small reason for this jumpiness? Ethereum moved up a bit, like a restless cat on a windowsill, and everybody decided that risk is back in style. Suddenly, risking your rent on coins called things like “SquidDogeMoon” sounds almost responsible.

Altcoin Trading: Because Hobbies Are Overrated

The data-crunching folks at CryptoQuant (who, I assume, do not sleep) say that altcoin activity on exchanges is rising faster than my anxiety. Binance, that digital casino, reports a spike so dramatic it should come with seat belts. There were more than 45,000 transactions in just a week, which is either a bullish indicator or just a sign someone’s butt-dialing trades again.

On the other hand, social media attention has quieted down-which, in crypto, is usually when your one weird friend claims we’re “due for a reversal.” Van de Poppe, naturally, interprets the silence as the market holding its breath just before it laughs in our faces.

Will All Altcoins Moon? LOL, No

Even the maestros of optimism-yes, him-admit not every altcoin is getting an invite to the moon. Some coins are about as lively as my houseplants in January: limp and ignored. The altcoin season index is languishing at 37, which, I’m told, is not impressive, unless we’re talking about age or golf.

Still, a handful of altcoins have popped out of their funk, including the usual suspects: Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Cardano, Sui, Dogecoin, and an ensemble cast of upstarts, all posting single-digit gains like they just discovered caffeine. So, if you’re feeling brave, or just have nothing left to lose, now might be the time to hurl yourself at the crypto roulette wheel. Just don’t come crying to me when you end up with a wallet full of commemorative digital dust. 🪙🤣
