The Rise of Altcoins & A Look at the Potential of Meme Coins
In 2024, most altcoins seem to have peaked after a rise in the first quarter. With value declines ranging from 70% to 90%, they are substantially underperforming compared to their March 2024 peak. Most altcoins have peaked during this bull market cycle, according to cryptocurrency investor Andrew Kang. Although the market as a whole may be trending downward, he continues to have optimism about meme coins.
I believe 98%+ of altcoins topped for the cycle except for maybe a handful of coins that may make some new highs in Q4 2024/Q1 2025. Memes probably constitute a majority of the coins that have a chance of making new highs,

Meme Coins Show Strong Performance
Meme coins show a strange tenacity in contrast to the poor performance of most altcoins. Expert on meme coins Murad Mahmudov believes the industry will rule the upcoming altcoin season. According to Mahmudov’s analysis, investor sentiment has changed. Retail investors are more drawn to meme coins, while institutional investors concentrate mostly on Bitcoin and, to a lesser extent, Ethereum.
People are slowly waking up to the black pill that all altcoins have always been meme coins with a bit of techy obfuscation on top. This will cause tens of thousands of people to (1) Sell tech altcoins for pure memes, (2) Buy pure memes instead of tech altcoins with fresh fiat this cycle,
