Regardless, this has been the shittiest cycle we’ve ever had, despite all the hype.
it's because people got heavy into alts way too early...people were calling for alt season in the summer of 2024, lol , a year+ early
then a lot were expecting alt season starting dec/Jan , mirroring the 2021 cycle, but we're following more the 2017 cycle where BTCs rise has been relatively orderly and alts didn't really have their moment until the last quarter of the 4th yr
so, still going by my thesis...q1 /q2 tease, q3 correction/consolidation, and q4 blow off top (true alt season)
if true alt season comes in Q1/q2 (meaning eth makes a new ATH and blows passed it), I'm sure the masses wouldn't mind that either ...in this case,this would still be a left-translated cycle
