Virtual Currency - Alt Coin Discussion Thread
I wanted to post a different thread to discuss the "crypto-coin" boom that happened this week.
For those who don't know,
I'm heavy avax. Then I'm speculating on what i believe are low market gems. With reason. Because they're pumping and in the meta...You got be online on X a stupid amount of time.
There’s a decent chance the non-blue chip alt market as a whole is dead. There will of course be winners and rug pulls and pump & dumps along the way, but the dispersion of asset launches diluting stagnant investor capital is real.
If I had to pick my bags now for the next bear market it’d prob be something like 60% BTC / 15% ETH / 15% SOL / 10% TRX. That’s got pretty much all your bases covered and 99% of TVL.
If I want to speculate I’ll sprinkle some PEPE or DOGE for the lulz but there is virtually no reason to hold 99% of the tokens that exist as anything other than a short term trade. If the 4-year cycle holds true again and alts begin the bear market somewhere around these levels nite young to be an absolute bloodbath and extinction level event for nearly every single alt.
Yeah I got the memo in time. Two days ago I went 75 percent eth and btc. Rest avax and doge actually.
a small percentage for gambling as such. Raoul Pal made sense to me. Don’t *** the whole thing up chasing 100x shitters.
What made the alts drop so sharply this time? Surely it can't be just the tariffs?
It's all too scamy.
I don't like it.
Balancer hack
Exploits going on, 10/10 contagion still shaking out as evidence is gathered and lawsuits are filed, general small cap credit crunch, shifting economy, etc etc
I've never seen sentiment so bad in crypto, which I would generally say is overall bullish, but its the big show now and trad fi is taking over crypto so we are increasingly at their mercy.
I could see crypto trending downward until QE starts end of Q1 / start of Q2 2026. Or maybe the bull is over and we are all ****ed for the foreseeable future
crypto go up... crypto go down... right so.. btc gonna be -108,000 dollah... soon.. so all you lazy FAQ'rs that used to mine with a CPU... 10 year hard graft time,, you owe the central banks and society moolahh...
I have been preaching Privacy for over a year now. ZEC is having its run, next up. COTI. Checks every box and it's Garble Circuits technology is running on over 70 chains. Read up on it, small cap company. With the right narrative, which it's in (Privacy) and alt season etc, we can see it reach a Buc IF the stars align. Watch out for COTI in the coming weeks. My big bet, besides ADA, ONDO of course! Stay coti! 😉
Lol you've been shilling coti on here for 4 years now. Might catch a bid one day.
starting a position in COTI...low market cap/float, but a nice set of projects coming up(DJED/cardano coin, new client coming on etc ), good team in place as well! I think long term ( 2-3 years) we are looking at a $20 or more coin here with a ton of potential. The treasury will be opening with staking in the U.S and more coming in the new year as well. Keep an eye on it! 😉
From 54c down to 5.4 cents.
The time is nigh
I mistyped that, not $20 but $2.00...They had a supply of 2 billion at the time, definitely not a 40 billion Market cap, but $4 billion. The supply has gone up a tad, so under $1.50 is plausible here, if the privacy narrative continues (which is looking like it will). But other stars need to get in check, but definititely on the launch pad. ADA is self explainatory as is ONDO. COTI is and will continue to be for me, my high speculative play. But the team has been building for years and this isn't lets jump on the privacy train. They have been at it for 2 years. Stay Coti! 😉
lol, just own it that you blew it
absolute zero chance you could accidentally add a zero or leave out both a period and a following, that's not how typos work
frankly, i wouldn't be surprised if this is just a well seasoned bot
Zcash
Not entirely sure what offshore crypto means
I am trying to get an understanding of how the performance of altcoins as a whole have been over longer periods. So this is what I would like to know specifically:
How much would a portfolio of altcoins (the top 100 coins at the time except bitcoin and the stable coins), weighted by market capitalization, bought at certain time points (say at the beginning of each year since 2020) be worth now?
So just to be more clear an example:
Collect a portfolio of the top 100 altcoins except bitcoin and the stable coins (e.g. according to coinmarketcap.com) at 2021-01-01, weighted by their market cap at that date. How much would this portfolio be worth now?
Can I somewhere get an answer to that question?
Monad presale has been a banger so far
Monad… just another Layer 1 that’s going to zero.
If it’s not built on Ethereum it’s not worth it.... COTI, lol.
yeah but it was up 90%
Play dumb games, lose dumb money.
Can't be bothered with any of this new stuff.
Hold btc, touch grass.

This is a very specific request, and I'm not sure it's something you can find without creating your own chart. One problem is that new alctoins are being created and moving in and out of the top 100 all the time. TRUMP is in the top 100 and didn't exist a year ago; NIGHT is in the top 50 and didn't exist a month ago. IOTA was in the top 10 in 2017 and now isn't even in the top 100. Those are just a few examples; the exact makeup of the top 100 is in constant flux.
TradingView has charts for Total3 (the total crypto market cap excluding BTC and ETH) and Total3ES (the total crypto market cap excluding BTC, ETH, and stablecoins). This might be close to what you're asking about:
What you'll see is that we didn't get an across-the-board, retail-FOMO-driven altcoin season in 2025. So Total3ES never exceeded its 2021 ATH and is now about where it was 4 years ago.

Thanks for the reply. I am just curious how a strategy similar to many stock ETFs would have performed in the altcoin market: periodically adjusting your portfolio according to relative market cap. The chart you posted does not really help with that, because there is a constant inflow of new cryptos.
Ascending triangle.
Be positioned nicely in your fave alt. GOOD LUCK and god speed.
I've changed my mind. This is a bull trap. The four year cycle is in tact.
