Hi everyone,

I’ve been following this thread and find the discussion about when the real altcoin season will begin quite fascinating. As someone who’s still learning, I’m noticing that coins like Ethereum, Polygon (MATIC), and Solana (SOL) have strong ecosystems with active development and real-world usage.

While older meme coins do capture attention during hype periods, they also carry much higher risk. I feel a balanced approach—holding reliable Layer‑1 and Layer‑2 projects—may be a safer strategy for 2025.

How do experienced members here manage risk between utility coins and higher-risk hype coins in preparation for the next alt season?

Thanks in advance!
