Altseason is a lie perpetuated by bagholders – change my mind

[WeZoos]

Real talk, "altseason" is just a massive cope for bagholders hoping to dump their heavy bags on retail. Everyone screams "it's coming" every cycle but we just bleed out against BTC dominance. Prove me wrong.

I think you're way off base here. The altseason hype isn't about people getting desperate to hold onto their bags, it's about real world adoption and use cases catching up to the hype. Maybe you're just not looking at the right altcoins.

I don't think it's a lie that some alts pump and dump, but I do think that saying "altseason is a lie" oversimplifies the complexities of the market and ignores the value that many altcoins bring as experimentations or niche solutions. Not saying most people shouldn't be cautious, but to dismiss the entire concept of altseason seems a bit harsh.

I'm not saying altseason is here for the long haul, but I think it's a bit unfair to label it a total lie, considering there have been some decent returns for early investors in projects like Terra or Cosmos during their respective bull runs. The problem is, most people got wiped out in the following crash, but that doesn't necessarily disprove the possibility of altseason in the future.

I think the idea that altseason is a myth created by bagholders is a pretty narrow view. I've seen multiple instances where specific alts have indeed had decent runs, often based on some real-world adoption or tech advancements, rather than just FUD and hype. Maybe we can discuss some specific examples that actually support or refute the altseason narrative.

I gotta disagree, last altseason we saw some decent gains from coins like ada and dot, they werent just pumping and dumping. Those projects had some real dev work and partnerships going on, and the price reflected that. Idk if this is the start of a new altseason but i do think some of these smaller coins have potential

Bold take for someone clearly sitting in -80% red bags. Alts always pop when BTC decides to take a nap, you just need patience.

It always kicks in right after you finally capitulate. Just wait for BTC dominance to crack and the rotation will happen naturally.

Sounds like someone bought the top and is now coping. Altseason is real, but it usually lasts for a few weeks before Bitcoin absorbs all the liquidity again.

I'm gonna take the opposite stance, altseason isn't a lie - we just need patience and a broader market context. When the big players are stuck in a long-term bear market like this, it's usually a sign that some new innovation is brewing. I'm not saying it's happening right under our noses, but altseasons often follow these stagnation periods.
