I guess the altcoin faith is left hanging at the moment and a lot of analysis has gone ahead which all point to a more groundbreaking development ahead.
I don't understand this statement. Do you think the developers of altcoins need to improve something to make investors be interested to buy altcoins? Each altcoin has its own advantage and specialty, I don't think we must generalize them. I still believe that investors are still interested to buy altcoins more in 2022, crypto market is in a correction phase. So, those investors have a chance to buy at a cheap price before the next uptrend. Sometimes investors don't think about the quality of the altcoins, they buy altcoins based on the hype. While the hype can happen at any time, there is no specific time.
That was quite logical statement, what is the reason behind your opinion that development has no direct connection with demand by investors? The HYPE has been there for developed projects that been leader on their related circle. Quality doesn't matter for small investors who wanna get quick-rich in a single correct investment decision, the struggle becomes real when project and its market shadows don't meet expected standarts. Specific timing is as important as entry/exit prices, being at right place on right time is more important than being skillful, experienced in this industry, sad but true.
