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's reasonable to speculate, but if altseason reappears, I think most of the project's official accounts on Twitter and the telegram channel will be active again and start doing some tricks with more beautiful packaging for their communities, many tokens are currently deliberately delaying development and just waiting, logically the developers have the most supply and they also want to benefit in their long-term projects.
