Many people have a misunderstanding about trading cryptocurrencies, thinking that as long as they "hold on", altcoins can also weather the storm.

But in reality?

Altcoins don’t necessarily rise; they may not come back at all.

Mainstream coins like BTC and ETH are like aged wine stored away; even if they hit rock bottom in a bear market, there's a high probability they can bounce back in a bull market or even reach new highs.

As for altcoins? Some projects have run away, some narratives have cooled off, and some have rebranded and restarted. By the time you’re still holding on, it may have changed hands twice already.

Many people believe in altcoins for three years, only to look back and find:

The coin is still there, but the project is gone, the official website is down, and their Twitter hasn’t been updated.

So don’t apply mainstream logic to altcoins;

You think you’re making a long-term investment, but the project team thinks you’re there to accompany them on their final journey.
