Will This Cycle See Another 2021-Style Altseason Frenzy?

Honestly, probably not. Here's why the landscape has shifted:

Token supplies have ballooned. Back in 2021, scarcity drove FOMO. Now? Projects are drowning in their own inflation and emission schedules.

Liquidity's everywhere and nowhere at once. Retail attention is fragmented across a thousand different chains, L2s, and sidechains. The herd moves slower when there's no clear pasture.

Institutions? They're sticking with BTC and ETH—the blue chips of crypto. Why chase 50x on some experimental altcoin when you can park capital in the safe play?

And the killer: we haven't seen a breakout consumer app yet. 2021 had the NFT boom, DeFi summer echoes. This time? The narrative's still searching for its moment.

That doesn't mean altcoins are dead. But expect a different game—selective winners, structural headwinds, less uniform moon rallies.
