I have been out of crypto for 3 years cause it seemed like this bullrun has been absolute dogshit. I did not check on Dextools. I only ever heard of PEPE and I missed out on it.What other stuff did I miss out on, anons? Most people who make_it never hang out around here ever again.WHAT DID I MISS OUT ON? Maybe I should ask AI this question instead.
Stop being dead, /biz/. Fucking AI is giving me better answers than you?
Why 2024–2025 Altcoins Felt "Worse"1. The Death of the Uniform "Altseason"In 2021, if you threw money at almost any mid-cap or large-cap altcoin, you likely made a profit because global liquidity was massive. In 2024–2025, there was no uniform tide. Investors who bought solid utility projects, utility-focused Layer-2s, or older tokens watched their bags slide backward or move sideways while Bitcoin hit new highs.2. The Meme Coin Liquidity Black HoleLiquidity that previously would have flowed from Bitcoin into solid altcoins instead stayed trapped in speculative meme coin ecosystems like Solana or Base. Millions of new micro-cap meme coins were created daily, causing retail liquidity to become unsustainably fragmented across thousands of worthless assets instead of building macro momentum.3. Institutional IndifferenceThe 2024–2025 cycle was institutionalized via spot ETFs. Wall Street bought Bitcoin (and some Ethereum), but institutional capital completely ignored the broader altcoin market. Retail investors were left trying to pump altcoins by themselves, but lacked the economic stimulus checks and low-interest-rate environment that supercharged the 2021 retail mania.Would you like to analyze a specific altcoin ecosystem (like Solana vs. Ethereum) to see how returns compared, or look into why VC-backed tokens struggled so heavily this cycle?
