Crypto analyst Willy Woo predicts that while altcoin seasons will continue, they will likely yield smaller returns over time as the crypto market matures.
I haven’t talked about altcoins in years, I quit my interest in them after the “shit rolls downhill chart” mapping the performance of 10,000 of them. But someone asked me specifically and this is how I see altcoin market cap…
This cycle has been markedly different from others.… x.com/i/web/status/1…

Woo’s analysis, shared on X on Oct. 26, highlights how the explosive altcoin rallies that dominated 2017 may not repeat with the same intensity.
Digital gold (money) vs everything else. Agree.
In the economy the former is half of everything.
Former $100T, latter $100T spread over 60,000 competing companies who win then die, each in their time.
Don’t kid yourself that L1s or L2s are protocols (winner takes all and are… x.com/i/web/status/1…

However, he clarifies that altcoin “pumps” are still possible, especially for mid-cap and low-cap cryptocurrencies following Bitcoin price surges, as investors seek higher-risk opportunities.
It’s a broad stroke statement. The nuance is there’s 2 games:
1) there’s a “print an asset game” and sell it to retail, and liquidity mining DeFi is part of this.
2) there’s build a technology game that is used in finance like Aave as a valid DeFi app. This token now can be… x.com/i/web/status/1…

While Woo notes that this cycle seems to focus on memecoins, he cautions his followers to avoid holding altcoins long-term unless they have insider knowledge.
Yes and maxis haven’t been wrong on alt-coins since their entire existence.

According to Woo, the overall altcoin market cap is misleading because it only reflects the successful tokens, excluding the many that fail.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump suggested replacing the federal income tax with tariffs on imports during a recent interview on the Joe Rogan Experience.
Drawing on policies from the 1890s, Trump argued that tariffs could generate enough revenue for the U.S. government, as he believes they did under former President William McKinley.
Critics caution that such a move could lead to higher prices on goods, effectively creating a hidden tax for consumers.

Trump has also proposed leveraging Bitcoin to address the national debt, suggesting that creditors could be partially paid with Bitcoin reserves.
💡 Feature of the Day:
Italian artist and Bitcoin activist Valentina Picozzi unveiled a unique “disappearing” statue of Bitcoin’s mysterious founder Satoshi Nakamoto in Lugano, Switzerland.
The statue, which took 21 months to complete, uses a slit design that creates a see-through effect from certain angles, symbolizing the elusive and decentralized nature of Nakamoto.
Grateful for the opportunity to make a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto for the city of Lugano 🇨🇭displayed in Parco Ciani.
The statue disappears in front of the audience and what’s left of Satoshi in visible “between the lines” (of the code) for all the #bitcoin users.

Displayed in front of Lugano’s Villa Ciani, the statue appears fully only when viewed from the side.
Thank you, glad you appreciate my work! Took 18 months to study how to make the concept of disappearing plus the idea of “we are all Satoshi” by placing yourself behind the statue

Picozzi’s statue was introduced during Plan B’s annual forum, an event aimed at promoting blockchain in Lugano.
There are only two Satoshi Nakamoto statues in the whole world.
One in 🇨🇭Lugano, Switzerland
One in 🇭🇺Budapest, Hungary
