Forks were seen as trend once upon a time, not anymore, same as NFT's which were seen as trend, and not anymore, same as Play2Earn games, trend, not anymore. I can repeat this a million times. Sometimes things are trending and they get all the attention, and then they end up with losses and not anymore afterwards. This is the only time to focus on it and because of that, we are not going to get any good returns.
You have to realize, crypto is a very trend oriented place aside from the very top, sure bitcoin and ethereum and what not will stay at the top, but outside of top 20 changes all the time, and that is based on trends and whatever is the trend at the time, happens to be the case. This is why the best way to move forward would be ignoring trends after they are done.
