Detentore del Portafoglio di Ribilanciamento | Dal Mio Diario: 2020–2025
Episodio — Fantom: Da Ghost Chain a Sonic Era
Salve a tutti i lettori di Binance.
Nel mio articolo precedente, ho condiviso appunti e prospettive su una delle monete del mio portafoglio di ribilanciamento, Polygon, precedentemente conosciuta come MATIC.
E oggi, il mio diario di portafoglio continua con un altro ecosistema che una volta è diventato una delle narrazioni più calde durante l'era DeFi:
FANTOM: IL FLUSSO NATURALE DELL'EVOLUZIONE DIGITALE
Tuttavia, prima di entrare nella discussione principale riguardo alla vecchia era di Fantom e la nuova era Sonic, vorrei prima rivedere l'“era leggendaria” intorno al 2020-2021 — un periodo in cui il mercato cripto ha iniziato a cambiare drasticamente.

From My Journal: 2020–2025
As the crypto world approached 2020, the market began experiencing a massive shift in direction with the arrival of major public figures such as Michael Saylor, Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey, PayPal and several institutions openly discussing cryptocurrency and demonetization. To me, that was the beginning of a new era of public acceptance toward crypto.
Today, I see many new players and investors in this space focusing mostly on
AI coinsMeme ecosystemsUltra-fast liquidity rotationTrading based on short attention cycles
But for me, the COVID era was a legendary period for portfolio balancing holders. It was the era where BTC crashed close to 3k before eventually breaking through the 100k ceiling years later.
PORTFOLIO STRUCTURE
And in my opinion, that period was when old altcoins played an extremely important role inside portfolio structures.
Not necessarily because they were the most explosive assets and not because I believed they would dominate the market forever, but because they helped maintain balance and from my perspective, balance is one of the most underrated survival tools in crypto.
Back then, many small holders believed that surviving multiple market cycles was simply about choosing coins with strong reputation, popularity and influencer support. Personally, I never fully agreed with that idea. In my opinion, survival in crypto depends far more on:
Portfolio structureEmotional controlLiquidity managementRebalancing disciplineUnderstanding market rotation
After spending years inside this market, I slowly realized something important:
A portfolio does not survive because every coin constantly wins. A portfolio survives because its structure adapts faster than the market changes.
That realization completely changed my mindset toward crypto.
During the 2020–2021 cycle, I built much of my rebalancing strategy around old altcoins such as:
TRXADADOTLINKXRPFTMVETNEARTHORChainPolygon/MATIC
Although many of these coins were actually launched years before 2020, the COVID era was the period where their ecosystems truly expanded aggressively and became an important part of crypto market rotation. Back then, these ecosystems behaved very differently compared to today. From my observations, many of these coins moved within a connected liquidity rhythm.
Capital rotated between:
Infrastructure chainsInteroperability narrativesDeFi ecosystemsPayment-focused assetsUtility-based networks
And within my own portfolio, Polygon/MATIC eventually became one of the most important balancing assets. Not because it was the strongest coin and not because I believed it would dominate the market forever. But because, from my perspective, Polygon/MATIC possessed a unique balance between:
growth potentialliquidity strengthecosystem relevancecontrolled volatility
Back in 2020–2021:
Ethereum fees became extremely expensiveDeFi activity expanded aggressivelyNFT ecosystems explodedLayer-2 narratives dominated the marketscams and false promises also became widespread
And Polygon/MATIC was perfectly positioned during that moment. In my opinion, it was no longer just a scaling solution. It became part of the crypto market’s liquidity rotation system itself. Inside my portfolio, MATIC often acted as a bridge between:
aggressive growth assetsslower infrastructure coinshigh-beta volatility playsdefensive altcoin positions
And that made it highly effective for portfolio rebalancing. It was volatile enough to create opportunities. But still stable enough not to damage the overall structure of my portfolio and honestly, that kind of balance mattered far more than hype alone. However, crypto markets evolve aggressively. The longer I stayed in this market, the more major changes I started noticing.
New Layer-2 ecosystems began emerging such as:
ArbitrumOptimismBasezk ecosystems
Liquidity slowly became fragmented. Narratives moved faster. Attention cycles became shorter and at the same time, Polygon itself also started changing. From my perspective, this was the beginning of Polygon’s identity transition.
The market started seeing:
Polygon 2.0MATIC → POL migrationAggLayer narrativesecosystem restructuringinfrastructure maturity
From a technological perspective, Polygon continued building. But psychologically, market sentiment started changing and in crypto, sentiment can sometimes matter just as much as real utility and now I find myself asking an important question:
Can an old altcoin still remain useful for portfolio rebalancing after losing its position as a market favorite?
Personally, I do not think the answer is simple. From my perspective, Polygon/MATIC never really “died.” It simply evolved, The problem is that markets do not always reward survival.
Sometimes markets reward:
hypemomentumspeculationattention velocity
Meanwhile, mature infrastructure projects often continue operating quietly beneath newer and more popular narratives and perhaps that is exactly what Polygon/MATIC has become today.
Not a dead ecosystem.Not an abandoned chain.And not an irrelevant project.
But perhaps no longer the type of asset that naturally controls market momentum the way it once did. From my perspective, this is where rebalancing becomes extremely important.
Because portfolio rebalancing is not simply about chasing the strongest coin. It is more about understanding:
liquidity behaviorvolatility relationshipsecosystem rotationnarrative cyclesmarket psychology
And after surviving multiple market cycles myself, I believe these things matter far more than blindly chasing the next hype narrative.
When I revisit my old portfolio journals from 2020 to 2025, Polygon/MATIC remains one of the most interesting assets for me to analyze.
Not because it became the biggest winner, but because it taught me something extremely important:
A coin does not need to dominate the market forever to remain valuable inside a rebalancing structure.
And perhaps that is the real difference between:
chasing narratives and surviving cycles.

Onestamente, ho sempre visto Solana come uno degli ecosistemi più aggressivi nel mercato crypto. Dalla mia osservazione, ogni volta che il momentum diventa rialzista, SOL tende a muoversi più velocemente e con più forza rispetto alla maggior parte delle altcoin. Ci sono momenti in cui l'espansione diventa così esplosiva che sento che l'azione del prezzo inizia a entrare in un livello completamente diverso di energia di mercato.
Allo stesso tempo, mi rendo conto di quanto Solana possa diventare sensibile una volta che la paura entra nel mercato. A mio avviso, ogni volta che il sentiment cambia o l'incertezza macroeconomica inizia a crescere, SOL di solito reagisce in modo molto più aggressivo rispetto a Bitcoin. Quella volatilità è esattamente ciò che rende Solana sia entusiasmante che pericolosa allo stesso tempo.

Questo è un "Revisione della Struttura e Considerazione del Rischio" – Non un Segnale di Trading
Hm… il mercato in questo momento non si sta muovendo a causa di un solo problema. A volte sembra notizie ETF. A volte rendimenti statunitensi. A volte rotazione interna delle criptovalute. Quindi, prima di prendere una decisione di ingresso, è meglio fare un passo indietro e rivalutare la struttura.
Attività di focus:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
XRP (XRP)
