☠️ The “Death” of Classic Altcoin Season: Why the old playbook stopped working⬇️
The crypto market no longer follows the familiar cycle:
Bitcoin pumps → profit taking → capital rotates to altcoins → broad alt season, because the market structure has fundamentally changed.

Here’s what’s different:
👉 capital is increasingly institutional, not just retail - ETFs, regulated products and corporate balance sheets don’t simply rotate into altcoins.
👉 token supply has grown into the millions, fragmenting capital and spreading attention thinly.

👉the market isn’t just “Bitcoin vs everything else” - stablecoins, on-chain yield, RWA, derivatives and Layer-2s compete for capital.

👉 traders are tactical, favoring rotation, hedging, and event-driven strategies over “buy & hold till altseason.”

📊The classic altcoin season as a broad, market-wide phenomenon has lost its economic logic - alt gains will now be driven by specific catalysts, not reflexive capital flows.
