Altseason: When Everything Looks Like a Cute Cat, But It's Actually a Snake Ready to Strike
You hear the buzz:
> “BTC just broke resistance!”
“Dominance is dropping!”
“It’s altseason, bro!”
Your eyes light up.
This is it — the moment every mid-tier trader and investor has been waiting for:
Altseason.
That magical time when every coin pumps, even the ones with whitepapers written in broken English via Google Translate.
You dig up your watchlist:
Layer 1s, Layer 2s, AI tokens, DeFi, LSDs, and coins with names you can’t even pronounce.
You ape into all of them because:
> “It’s altseason, man! Everything goes up!”
At first, your portfolio turns greener than matcha.
You wake up to +15% gains.
You start doing the math:
“At this rate, I’m retiring in 3 months.”
Confidence builds. You start giving signals to friends.
Some even start calling you “the crypto guru.”
But then…
Behind the rising charts and the Telegram euphoria,
Something lurks —
Slowly, quietly.
Just like the image above:
> The face looks cute and friendly…
But the body is a snake. Sly. Venomous.
And sure enough… a few days later:
BTC retraces
Alts bleed out
That “active” project goes on a “short break”
VC groups start slowly dumping, and retail holders become exit liquidity
You?
You’re staring at your screen, stunned —
Like a cat who just realized its body is a snake.
Still hoping for a bounce, but deep down… you know:
> Altseason isn’t heaven.
It’s just a stage for euphoria… before the correction.
---
Moral of the story:
Altseason is like someone who gives you attention, hope, and excitement at the start.
But once you’ve given it your all… they vanish.
And you’re left saying:
> “It all looked so beautiful… turns out it was just a candlestick mirage.” 📉
