The altseason we remember might never come back. Here's the thing—the token landscape has exploded. Back in the day, capital could concentrate on a handful of alternative coins and pump them hard. Now? Liquidity's stretched across thousands of projects. Retail money gets scattered everywhere. You've got established alts competing with new tokens, DeFi yield farming pulling attention, NFT hype cycles, Layer 2 ecosystems splitting the focus. Even when Bitcoin pumps and risk appetite returns, the buying pressure can't sustain a broad rally across smaller caps anymore. Too much fragmentation. The market's fundamentally different now.

Really, those days of concentrated rapid gains are gone forever. There are too many projects, scattered all over the place. Retail investors' money is divided into tiny pieces, making it impossible to concentrate on one coin like before. I understand, the market just changes this way. This round of market movement is just like that. Don't expect another full altseason to come again.

The retail investors' money has all been drained; this is the real truth.

I've long seen through it; liquidity is dispersed across thousands of projects, making it impossible to recreate the madness of the past. --- Nah, this time is different. The money is too scattered, with no concentration effect. --- That's right, in the past, a few coins could siphon the entire market, but now no one can outcompete anyone. --- I feel like the person writing this article really gets it—fragmentation is a dead end. --- It's so true; retail investors are fragmented into tiny pieces, and the altseason is long dead. --- That's why I've already given up; I can't keep up with this pace. --- The point about liquidity being dispersed hits hard; the chance for sudden wealth in the past is truly gone. --- Haha, so now playing with coins tests your judgment even more; old methods are completely outdated.
