Why hold BTC and ETH for the long term, instead of holding altcoin spot?
The harsh truth of the crypto world is:
Altcoins are essentially projects that exchange air for your real assets, BTC and ETH.
These project teams hold vast amounts of cheap tokens, waiting for Bitcoin and Ethereum to break past their previous highs, using the profits from appreciation to pump and offload.
The entire market is waiting for BTC to hit the critical point of $125,000, which will signal the true start of the altcoin season.
Smart money is always playing the same game:
Exchanging your Bitcoin for their altcoins, waiting for Bitcoin to double, then using the profits to pump, and finally returning the high-priced tokens to you.
This is why holding BTC and ETH for the long term is the way to go; they are the value anchors of the entire crypto market. Now is the golden period for gradually building positions, as the liquidity bonus from interest rate cuts will gradually become evident in the second half of the year.
Remember, the financial market has a lag effect; real market trends often explode six months after policies are implemented.
There’s no standard answer in the secondary market; finding a holding strategy that suits you, and steadily holding core assets, is the ultimate rule for navigating bull and bear markets.
