Agree. It seems that crypto has become too mainstream since 2017, leading to heavy price manipulation across the market. There are a lot of greedy whales out there preventing Bitcoin from getting past the $10k range. As long as the trend continues, neither Bitcoin nor altcoins will be able to experience new ATHs in price. Let's keep our hopes high as one way or another Bitcoin's price should go higher than they were before. After all, the block subsidy will be cut in half every 4 years. This should reduce miner's profits at current prices, forcing them to increase the price per coin at mainstream exchanges.

Once Bitcoin goes all the way to the moon, then altcoins will follow. If you're looking into good altcoins that are worth buying and "hodling" for a very long time, then look no further as both Ethereum and Litecoin are the right choice. Ethereum will soon transition from PoW to PoS, leading to a "FOMO" sentiment on the market. On the other hand, Litecoin resembles Bitcoin with a limited supply and pre-defined halving events. It might as well go up in price in the next halving followed by the adoption of Mimblewimble for privacy on the Blockchain. While it's no secret that altcoins have higher fluctuations in price than Bitcoin itself, they certainly bring many profit opportunities.

Nonetheless, it'll be a good time to buy altcoins if the market is on the "red side". Right now, prices are slightly falling, bringing you the opportunity to buy altcoins at a cheaper price. Once the bull market goes full steam ahead, prices per coin will never be the same. As an advice, always pay close attention to altcoins' recent developments instead of making your decisions based on other's opinion. If you do that, you'll do fine in this emerging industry. Just my opinion
