Altcoins weathered a brutal 2025. But let's be real—anyone who went full panic mode screaming that alts were finished, that buying was financial suicide, that the entire sector was dead? They got it spectacularly wrong.
Those traders who held their nerve and deployed capital during the liquidation cascade? They're sitting on positions that are about to generate eye-watering returns. Market cycles don't care about your emotional conviction. The biggest fortunes in crypto go to those willing to buy when conviction has evaporated and fear is at maximum. The math is simple: buy low, sell high. The execution? That's where most get humbled.

Ultimately, it's a game theory equilibrium issue—whoever dares to take the hit when panic selling occurs wins. But this also exposes a fatal flaw—this logic relies on human irrationality. Once the majority of participants "realize" this, the incentive structure will self-destruct. Historical failures of DAO governance tell me that knowing the rules is not enough; the key is whether the checks and balances among the stakeholders in the execution layer can be guaranteed.

Really, those who were shouting that altcoins were doomed last year should come out and take a walk now.

Basically, those who were shouting that the crypto world was doomed last year are probably feeling pretty uncomfortable now, haha.

Honestly, what happened to those who were crying out in despair back then?
