We are already in March 2021 now, I'm guessing first quarter of the year is almost over, now how many altcoins really benefits from btc hitting 50k ? In 2017 when btc hit 19k all altcoins are pumping like no tomorrow, even shitcoins made incredible bounces but why aren't we seeing such this time around?
Don't compare the situation we have this year to the past, for the reason that we are changing by now. People are learning from past experience, developers also enhancing their projects.
If we could see, there are no such hypes last 2017 that it happens this time. That is a huge factor that we are not going to see an altcoins bear season rather than seeing only potential coins do the rally accompanied to the Bitcoin spike. If we are not seeing again those days, I don't think we feel bad, that much better than being caught with the trap.
