FAQs
A delayed altcoin season gives investors more time to assess fundamentals rather than chase momentum. It may favor gradual accumulation and risk management over short-term speculation.
If capital rotates into altcoins, Bitcoin may enter a consolidation phase rather than a sharp decline. This rotation often reflects changing risk appetite, not a loss of confidence in BTC.
Long-term builders, developers, and patient investors may benefit most, as later cycles often reward projects with real usage rather than short-lived hype.
