A harsh reality is that the top 100 will experience a 70% turnover in every bull market cycle. After two cycles, only 10% of the coins may still be in the top 100. What about after three cycles?
2013--2017--2021--2025 (2026)?
Who still remembers the tokens in the top 100 during the bull market of 2013? Most probably can’t even recall those from 2017.
In this bull market cycle, it's the same; give up on those top 100 altcoins that clearly have no new story and bet on the current and future trends.
The Bitcoin ecosystem is the biggest trend in this cycle and the next one, and coins within the Bitcoin ecosystem will enter the top 100 in batches. Perhaps when the bull market ends, we will see that over 20% of the top 100 are Bitcoin ecosystem tokens, while right now there are only a few? Besides BTC, BCH, and BSV, it seems like only STX is one of them.
This is the potential; the infrastructure coins and meme coins of the Bitcoin ecosystem will emerge, with at least 20 entering the top 100, including btcL2, btcfi, btc ecosystem Dex, btc meme, etc.
The btcL2 that is destined to enter the top 100 is SatoshiNet, and its governance mining rights token, Pearl, is destined to reach the top 100, even the top 20.
