The recent performance of altcoins in the market has left many investors scratching their heads. A seasoned trader mentioned that they have basically liquidated their long positions in altcoins—mainly because the actual gains of these assets are severely disconnected from expectations. Instead of holding on stubbornly, it's better to lock in profits first.



But this doesn't mean they are bearish on the entire market. On the contrary, they still hold a core long position in Bitcoin tightly, with no signs of loosening. At the same time, they significantly increased their cash reserves, clearly preparing for upcoming opportunities. This kind of position allocation strategy is quite typical—cut losses on assets that don't meet expectations rather than stubbornly holding, while maintaining confidence in mainstream assets and leaving enough ammunition to wait for the next opportunity to deploy.

Altcoins are really a trap, a tool for cutting leeks... It's still safer to hold onto BTC tightly.

Altcoins can't move, it's really time to cut losses. I quite agree with this guy's approach. BTC still needs to be held tightly; having enough cash reserves is the winning mindset.

Altcoins collectively underperforming; cashing out to secure profits—I'm convinced this is the right move. Holding onto BTC tightly without selling, with full cash reserves—this is the smart player's strategy. Waiting for the next wave of bargains. Basically, it's about being willing to let go of trash assets and having the courage to hold onto your convictions. Waiting for the wind to come, don't make rash moves.

Altcoins indeed took a hit this time, but I like this guy's approach—liquidate the trash and keep some ammo, that's the right way.

Altcoins really dragged down the market, I got the move to clear out my positions.

Altcoins really paid their tuition this time; the expectations and reality were way off. However, this guy's approach is still clear-headed, knowing when to cut losses and when to hold firm. That's the key to survival.
