Topic: When will you sell your alts? (Read 1380 times)

Why should you be confused dude, there is no need to be confused, just go through everything normally if you don't agree with my words.
If you think that AI Agent is just for hacking, you need to look deeper into the world of AI, because many other innovations use AI and it continues to be developed, especially AI in crypto and Blockchain. You just can't see it right now because you rejected it.

Hahaha in the previous cycle when Bitcoin dropped to the price of $3k, there was someone who also said so to me, and it happened again at this time and you said that I was dreaming, but the dream was necessary rather than just saying nonsense that didn't even produce anything.

If you say almost all will not reach the ATH, you need to look again at how this crypto market works,
look at how crypto in the past and the future of crypto is still very early, you need to look at it from a different perspective.

You are confusing me, what will the AI agents do? Do they even have that valuable impact in the market yet? Well, I do not see what they are to do to change the narrative or to help further, all I know is that AI agents are being given too much praise, but they will hack nothing. However, if there is hype on social media, then we can see the hope of the altcoin season. But it will only happen on a few coins/tokens and will not be as impactful as before.

Hahaha...you are dreaming my friend. Mark my words, almost all coins/tokens will never reach their ATH again.

Personally, I'd sell alts once I get 2x - 3x a return on my investment. It's best to buy lots of top-ranked altcoins during bearish periods. Once the hype gains steam (bull market), you'll be able to sell for a profit. Rinse and repeat. Other than serving as experimental networks to test the Blockchain's capabilities/limitations, altcoins have no real use cases.

Bitcoin is and will always be the King. Even Ethereum turned into a "shitcoin" after switching to centralized PoS. For making money, altcoins do wonders. But for long-term stability/wealth preservation, they're terrible. Just do your own research to see what I mean...

This is why you do it coin/token by coin/token, you do not sell the entire stack but you check it individually and whatever looks like the best then you go with that, it is a good way to move forward and I highly suggest that as an option.

Most coins have a goal in our minds, and while they may go higher, there is no way to we could make a profit from expecting to sell everything together and make profit, so you just calculate each coin and their tops and try to get out before it starts to go down. Also another great idea would be just checking the news for everything you hold, because if anything goes wrong then you should be able to sell and get out and not really have to force yourself to keep holding when it goes down.

In my observations in the crypto space, when there is a massive rally in the price of Bitcoin, the only ones that usually follow Bitcoin's rise are the altcoins that are in the top listed in the market and the top 20 will not disappear from there for sure, then the top 21 to 50 will depend on their devs or teams.

But the majority of cryptocurrencies really dump their price when Bitcoin's price rallies. And then they rally when Bitcoin's price dumps. In short, they are pumping their price temporarily.

Waiting and waiting, but we also don't know what will happen later.
Waiting for the real altseason to arrive, it may happen in the near future with a more interesting narrative of "AI Agent" in 2025.

This cycle will certainly not be the same as the previous cycle, but in terms of rice lines, the cycle will reach a higher price than before or reach a peak that is completely unpredictable.

With more than 2000 crypto assets, even more because memecoins appear in the tens of thousands every day and end up in scams,
but some still survive and reach the top, then become an altcoin that is recognized for its large community and ongoing projects.

Now it is only necessary to determine where you will be or which altcoin you will hold.
I already have it and I also believe in the development of the project and what the future holds, I already have an idea of where I have to sell to take a profit and then buy again. Just like when you take profit on Bitcoin at the current ATH price and then buy back when the price corrects towards the Dip.

Expect less from the market not just depending on bitcoin alone, bitcoin price is good at the moment even if the bull season is still expected as most prediction indicate so it’s still better if other coins start following suit at the starting point. IMO if the coin is not potential enough there’s no sign the coin will do well during the long run so let’s understand the pump when involving bitcoin besides not every coin will pump and I will not give an advice if anyone should sell now rather every investor should research the coin.

Always recommended that you do set out sell limits on which you would really be needing up to consider out on having this kind of decisions rather than on sitting up idle whenever the market do make out some pumps. People do usually having those regrets at the moment that they had missed out some rally on which it will be giving out that kind of regret and this isnt something that recommended.When you do sell your alts? There are indeed some projects on which are really that worth on holding up for long term but there are those which are good for short term. This is why selling will really be that relevant or significant.The thing that hinders you is that you might be missing out that huge potential of earning bigger money.

Whenever you are really that dealing up with this kind of situation there are long term and short term approach and decisions will be basing up into the targets or goals that you had set out. When you are really that having those kind of high hopes into your holdings or with your portfolio then it will be that up to you whether you will be holding your position or selling out on a specific price. Profits is profits and this is something that we do need up to consider on the moment that you do deal up with this marketplace.
Sell when you are in gains and hold up if you arent that contented into the profits that you are taking, so it will really be just that depending on you with this kind of approach.

That is most of the altcoin people do as well, you set a target and you sell when you reach there. Of course target changes based on everything regards to what you buy, some people buy ETH, so they can't sell if it does 10x, that would be too much, and it would be difficult for it to do 10x, whereas some buy memecoins and they set 10x, because getting out after 20% makes no sense at all.

This is what I believe we should be considering, we can't make people change that type of thinking. In the end, they still do have a target though, the target could be very different from project to project but it's still a target. Obviously people who are looking for a 10x return usually do not end up with it, but that doesn't mean they have no plan.

Many investors are still not aware about when to sell their holdings and when to buy more. Some people are still buying  more because they were told to buy without thinking about whether that's the best time to buy or not. We should not just keep holding altcoins because the market is neev stable. It is good you buy and hold, after a while you can sell part of your holdings because their many projects to that keep losing value especially when their is no innovation or latest updates that will trigger more investors to buy more token with the possibility of the price increasing within a short period of time. It is also good for us to always review our portfolio to know when to sell and what to sell before buying.

Hahaha...that looks so confident of you, altcoin season indeed!

I can't wait for it to come, this January, right? lol.

On a serious note, time has passed and things are changing, the altcoin season may never come again, and even if it comes, there are many reasons why it will not be as significant as before. But you seem to overlook that and believe emphatically that it will happen, how? With the way more than 2000 new crypto assets have been dumped into the crypto space in the past 3 years and all of them yearning for liquidity? I am waiting...

Fine for folks who have a fiat income or other income to get by on in the meantime but for folks whose income is in crypto denominated in crypto sometimes they just have to sell some crypto to meet the fiat bills regardless of what bull/bear season it is.

Trying to buy enough fiat in bull season to feel certain it will be enough to last until next bull season is in mental conflict with wanting to hang on a while in case bull season is not over yet, as it were; while bills in fiat just keep on coming in.

But the alt season is not there yet, imo.. Just await for the Bitcoin to go to heaven after some months and then take most of your profits.
 

I know 50x by 2026 sounds ambitious, especially with a potential bear market ahead, but my plan isn't purely about holding. I’m focused on accumulating during dips, taking profits at key points, and holding projects with strong fundamentals that could perform well long-term. While market-making is definitely profitable, I prefer a balanced approach that combines strategic holding with reallocation when opportunities arise. Crypto adoption and innovation might reshape market cycles, so staying flexible and adaptive is key. Thanks for the insights, it’s always good to hear different perspectives. 

I agree, it’s rarely a good idea to sell your entire stack, but taking profits at the right time is key. I have started taking profits a few weeks back.

I used to count on the second quarters of this year for alts to begin their run but I'm not sure it will happen that soon now with the way Bitcoin is delaying to give us this circle's ATH. Anyway if we're that lucky to get a Bitcoin peak this first quarters, that will be fine and a signal for alts to proceed. I think anything above $150k should be that range. This is just my sentimental analysis based on the last circle ATH, nothing else.

Well, that will depend on the type of alts one is hodling. For me, I want to see a 50X on most of the alts I've invested in.

The market does not toss me up and down, it chews its way up and down through my columns of offers, profiting me in both directions in actual coins held.

Even if both sides go down in fiat terms I keep getting more and more of both to endure through the bear season.

If both or either are up in fiat terms though is of course a moment to try to buy enough fiat to survive on until next such opportunity arises.

(Its not fun having to buy one's fiat while it is at its own peak relative to one's earnings... )

Indeed, the market goes up and down, which happens even in a bearish or bullish market's wider scope. But do not forget the fact that huge gains could also be erased in the shortest possible time, so we should not rely on the style you are talking about. Investors should have an Entry, Holding and Exit plan, we should not just let the market toss us up and down as if we are directionless/idealess. At the slightest of it, let our charts guide us on the larger time frame.

True because you both talk about holding rather than market-making.

Compound interest is not the only way to compound one's earnings/profits!

Far far more profitable in my experience than static holding.

As Oppenheimer didn't say, "I am become whale, destroyer of economies!"

Bear market might suppress a 50X as many coins holding to not being at the time a 50x value but 50x might well be possible, hmm, have to do more math on that...


-MarkM-

20x return is possible this year but 50x return by end of 2026? Won’t happen as we will be in bear market then.
