Of course, in this long period of crypto winter, a significant part of altcoins will not survive, but this does not mean at all that altcoins will die in general. Potential projects will continue to develop. Only the weak and useless will die. For the cryptocurrency market, this ensures the further development of the cryptocurrency. True, the recent scandals with some of them do not add credibility to the cryptocurrency. But there are never ideal conditions.
altcoins will continue to grow and will continue to exist, because there will be many new projects that are good and acceptable to investors. This new altcoin will accompany the old altcoin which has survived to this day, because it continues to develop properly. although altcoins do follow the state of affairs of bitcoin, we know that currently bitcoin is not doing well, so there are not a few altcoins that cannot survive.
but I agree with you mate, that altcoins will not die, because there are quite a few new ones growing and the old ones have been able to survive until now, but we cannot rule out the fact that there has indeed been a sluggishness, which has indeed been going on for quite a while.
I believe there will be a time when crypto will soon be excited including altcoins, maybe the era of the halving period will come, so be patient.
