This is the important post with some thoughts that have been building up lately.
Over the past few months, there’s been a lot of noise in crypto and very little real value. So from now on, I’ll only post my actual thoughts about the market here. Sometimes, reading 5–10 honest opinions is enough to build your own point of view.
Now, about the market.
Honestly, you could’ve done nothing in the past 5 months — April buys worked out really well.
If you paid attention to my April post where I said the market would recover quickly, you’re probably already in good profit.
Looking at the safest plays:
– $BTC +50%
– $ETH performed very well, giving +100% profit
Altcoins are trickier, but already mentioned that I’ve been cutting and rebalancing my port a lot — you just can’t afford to spread out too much in this market. Hopefully, you did the same.
Now to the not-so-fun part.
It used to be a good idea to to dive into the market and keep up with everything. But now there’s a massive inflation of knowledge. 80% of what you learned in the past can basically be thrown out. Before, crypto experience helped a lot. Now, it’s mostly trading, psychology, and analysis experience that matters. No one cares which bridge to use or which DEX is better anymore.
This shows once again how the crypto is changing — and becoming more user-friendly for newcomers.
But the question is — do newcomers even need crypto right now?
Most people don’t look beyond $BTC, and honestly, they’re right. Why bother with.... mmmm.... for ex $SEI when you can just swap cash for $USDC and hold it on Ethereum like the big players? Then just buy some $BTC during dips and hold it in your cold wallet.
Adoption clearly didn’t go the way people dreamed it would.
As for altseason — I’m more and more convinced that fewer coins will show strong growth. I mean real growth — like 5–10x, not just 50–100%.
And the reason is simple:
- More coins enter the market every day, but the number of people and money doesn’t increasing. Even when the crowd comes back, there won’t be enough of them to buy everything.
If you search “what coins to buy in 2025” on Google, chances are the coins listed there will be the ones that actually grow — because that’s how it usually works. Normies search, read a couple of articles, and buy.
Most of those coins are backed by market makers and VC funds who are very interested in pumping and selling them to newcomers.
Of course, it’s not guaranteed — but often the simplest explanation is the most accurate one.
Just don’t expect 50-100x altseason across the whole market. Lower your expectations. And if reality ends up better — you’ll be very happy.
And lastly — a funny result from something my friends helped me look into:
Many normies have outperformed full-time crypto folks over the past 5 months.
This market is 20% effort, 80% result. When altcoins start pumping, you should already have taken solid profits — so you can jump into riskier ideas with less stress.
