Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary just dropped a bomb on the altcoin crowd. He's calling most of them "poopoo coins" — yeah, you read that right — and predicting they're headed straight to the graveyard.



His take? The future belongs to Bitcoin and Ethereum. Period. Everything else? Noise that'll get drowned out once regulations finally show up and draw clear lines. O'Leary isn't mincing words here. He sees a market cleanup coming, where only the big two survive the regulatory storm while countless alts fade into irrelevance.

Whether you agree or not, it's hard to ignore when someone with his platform says the altcoin party might be ending. BTC and ETH maximalists are probably nodding along, while altcoin believers are sharpening their counterarguments. Either way, this debate isn't going anywhere.

Kevin is bragging again. This guy says the same thing every time, but what happens? Some small coins are still active. I think he’s being used by some whales to steer public opinion. His statements are way too absolute. The term “poopoo coins” is really something, haha. But ironically, the real money is being made in these so-called “junk” coins. I’m tired of hearing about the BTC and ETH monopoly. If that’s the case, why are there still over 1,000 projects running? Will regulation guarantee survival? Then why are coins that are already regulated still alive? Where’s the logic? No matter what he says, at least my small coins haven’t hit zero yet, so I’m just going to leave it at that. These big-shot comments are just excuses for dumping at most. The real opportunities are always the opposite. That said, his platform influence really can bring selling pressure, so we still need to be cautious.

poopoo coins hahaha that's hilarious, Kevin just loves to tell it like it is. But seriously, alts are about to take off. Once regulations come in, they're all done for.

poopoo coins haha that's hilarious, this guy really knows how to talk --- Here's another big shot talking down altcoins, but in the end, only your own product can speak for itself --- Kevin really nailed it with that line, but when real regulation arrives, who survives is still up in the air --- btc and eth taking it all? Keep dreaming, man, there will always be a dark horse that breaks out --- People say this every year, just wait and see --- In the era of compliance, major coins will have the say, small coins need to wake up --- The poopoo coins meme made me laugh, though what he said was a bit harsh and not entirely true --- Another "only I see the market clearly" take, so annoying --- He does have some valid points, but there's no way that many projects will die --- This guy's secret to wealth is stirring up controversy, don't take it seriously

Haha, this guy just loves to talk fast, the term "poopoo coins" is absolutely hilarious. --- Here we go again? Every time they say only BTC and ETH will survive, but what actually happens... --- Sounds nice, but in reality, they're just trying to pump their own bags. --- True, once the rules come out, small tokens will have a hard time surviving, but don't make it sound so absolute. --- I don't believe him at all, what was he doing around this time last year? --- Disagree, some projects actually have real use cases, not all alts are garbage. --- Oh god, another big shot here to warn us... --- Makes sense, regulation will definitely wipe out a ton of projects, the logic isn't exactly wrong. --- I just want to hear how he explains all those tokens he used to invest in. --- Fair point, but it's a timing issue—saying this now feels a bit late, doesn't it?

Kevin got famous by creating buzz—he always has to ride the hype. The term "poopoo coins" is really something, though. --- It's the same old line again: when regulations come, only BTC and ETH will survive... I've heard it way too many times. --- So now he's starting to FUD too? Didn't he shill a bunch of projects before? --- When regulation really comes, whatever he says will be right—he can't lose either way. --- I just want to ask how he's actually allocated his own portfolio. If he talks like this, is he really all-in on BTC? --- Classic survivor bias—no one remembers the things he missed out on. --- Wait a minute, isn't his logic basically supporting the mainstream coins? It'll actually be good news for them if that's the case.

poopoo coins haha that's hilarious, you're absolutely right, only the strong survive when the tide goes out --- Here we go again, every time before regulation there's always some big shot being bearish, BTC and ETH have it all locked up? You're overthinking it --- Kevin's words are harsh, but the real dark horse is still hiding in the shadows, just wait and see if you don't believe it --- This guy finally said it, I've thought so for a long time—shitcoins deserve to die --- How many years can they survive before regulation? I doubt it, if you want to bet, bet on the leaders --- Every cycle people say stuff like this, but then in the next bull market new coins take off again, history always repeats itself --- Compliance is the real filter, whatever you say now doesn't matter --- I just want to know how much ETH he actually holds, that's the real story
