In this bull run, if you want to make money, there is one principle that is particularly important: do not invest your feelings in altcoins. Apart from Bitcoin, the rise logic of other coins is very fragile, driven more by trends or emotions. Once the market turns, they are often the first to fall.
The recent rise of Ethereum is actually not closely related to its own on-chain development. It is more because Bitcoin has risen significantly, and some funds are starting to look for a "second choice," with Ethereum being the natural first choice as the second-largest market cap coin. It can be understood that Ethereum acts as a "magnifying glass" for Bitcoin's market trends, rather than an independent trend.
The pace of the entire market is fast, and capital flow is key. Following the money and seizing the rotation rhythm is more effective than holding onto a specific coin. Especially when Bitcoin experiences a pullback, some strong coins may have short-term rebound opportunities, making short-term operations more advantageous.
In the current market environment, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for retail investors to hold on for the long term and double their investments based on "faith." While fundamentals and positive news are important, they are not enough to support holding onto a coin for the long term. The market changes too quickly, and risks are increasing.
The crypto world is fundamentally a place that thrives on volatility, information asymmetry, and cognitive dividends. For large amounts of capital, I would choose BTC, which should be the default for everyone. My choice of BTC is not out of faith in it, but because it has liquidity, a good distribution of chips, and hedge value. Most importantly, it is a product controlled by others. Large countries are hoarding it, institutions are dollar-cost averaging it, and ETFs are absorbing it. For coins of this level, you don't need to think too much; its direction is already offloaded into political maneuvering.
