Every day I hear people shouting about altcoin season, but what is an altcoin anyway? Bitcoin is about to soar, while altcoins can barely get off the ground.

Those who shout that the bull market is about to take off are mostly just empty-handed, shouting slogans; those who really hold coins have long been worn down.

Right now, the market has a huge gap in understanding; institutions are reaping the rewards, big players are sipping the broth, and retail investors can only gnaw on the dirt.
