No matter how "promising" altcoins may seem, they always follow Bitcoin's lead. If BTC drops during a crypto winter, altcoins can lose up to 90% of their value. And honestly, I’m not willing to wait 4 years just to get my money back.
Here are 4 reasons I decided to sell off my altcoin holdings:
Bitcoin couldn’t hit $95K even when the Fear & Greed Index was at 92. If it couldn't reach that goal during a strong market, that’s a big warning sign of a potential market drop.
Crypto winters tend to follow halvings, usually around 8 months later. Right now feels like the perfect time to sell while the market is still strong.
The "Trump effect." He promised to make crypto "great," but let’s be honest—crypto does best when governments stay out of the way, not when they try to control it.
ASIC chips are hitting their limits.
Let me explain. Over the past 7 years, ASIC miners have shrunk from 62nm to 6nm, which helped Bitcoin’s hash rate grow. But in 2025, we’re reaching a point where increasing computing power won’t help much. This will directly affect Bitcoin’s security and growth. And with Proof-of-Work blockchains, there's one rule that always applies: no growth in the network means no new all-time highs.
