🚀 Is the era of the great alt seasons over?

Interview with Kamil Predecki - Encyclopedia of Cryptocurrencies

The cryptocurrency market is maturing and changing faster than many investors would like to admit. At the Invests conference in Warsaw, we talk with Kamil Predecki about what's next for altcoins, what mistakes investors are making and where we are in the cycle.

🧠 Where are we in the cycle?

Bitcoin rises, altcoins stall

The bull market in Bitcoin continues, while most altcoins are still lagging behind. Does this mean the end of the classic altseason?

"In my opinion, we will no longer see as much growth in the broad altcoin market as we used to." - Kamil

Why?

• The market has matured
• Lots of new projects competing for the same capital
• New projects take off with larger capitalization → smaller potential Xs

Conclusion: the era of "easy 50x-100x" is probably over.

🧓 Old altcoins vs new projects

Most altos from previous cycles are not returning to their ATHs. Exceptions include:

• ✅ Ethereum
• ✅ Binance Coin

Why aren't the rest of them growing?

• No further development
• No use-case
• Poor marketing

"In crypto today, marketing wins, not technology."

🧾 Ethereum - is it still worth it?

Kamil still holds most of the ETH.

🎯 Price target: about $5,000 this cycle
🚫 $10,000? Not likely this time

Strategy: euphoric sales, but no expectations of cosmic increases.

🧩 How to choose new altcoins?

What is most important today?

✅ Business model and real revenues
✅ Strong background, partners and listing potential on major exchanges

Why is this important?

• Projects with revenue can buy tokens from the market
• Strong backing increases chance of adoption and hype

Red flags 🚩

• No earning plan
• Presale without a viable product
• Team with past abandoned projects

"If you don't see a financial plan at the beginning - there won't be a plan."

⏳ Investment horizon

Used to be: months of holding = often success
Today: profit window is sometimes short, sometimes only weeks

The market is fast, dynamic and unforgiving.

"Don't go to bed with an altcoin you just bought." - half in jest, but apt.

Memecoins can live for several hours.

🎯 Key findings

✅ Focus on quality, not quantity
✅ Analyze business model and partnerships
✅ Manage positions and risks faster

❌ Don't expect a repeat of the altseason like in 2017/2021
❌ Avoid projects with no revenue and no real use

Bitcoin remains king 👑
Altcoins - today require strategy, patience and selection, not dreams of quick Xs.
