It's back to square one if you are holding a coin or token for long term and finally altcoin season comes and the token or coin surge in value but has no trading volume on exchange, all your efforts and pain while holding is total waste, do not hold tokens or coins that have no demands, real use cases are what makes them very demanding
it is one of the saddest lessons learnt in crypto market. Especially new traders invest in the projects that have no background no infrastructure no team nothing, but at the end they stay with their shit tokens and can not even sell them with losses.
