Bite the dust or carry on?
There are two things that are certainly going to happen after this bullrun. People who sold their altcoins and bought bitcoin will be pleased; those who remained with altcoins will most likely print X10 or X20 and profit handsomely.
While people who chose BTC are technically safe from massive volatility, they're probably not going to make as much money as those who choose alts. The market works like this: pick your poison and deal with the benefits or drawbacks because you can never sit on the fence.
2025 Market anxiety
I read a post about someone saying they're tired of being part of the Hive ecosystem and that they were leaving, it wasn't the first time I'd seen such a post this year.
In fact, I have seen these posts more than ten times, and many of them occurred in 2025. Here's why these posts are coming: the expectation that we will pump alongside Bitcoin has not materialized.
The reason we have these types of posts this year is that 2025 was supposed to be the golden year, and many people have probably waited for over three years in anticipation of the 2025 fireworks, and it appears that they will be disappointed regardless, which is why these types of posts are appearing.
Overall, this ecosystem is not the only place where we have these sentiments; it occurs frequently in other alt ecosystems, as I know from one guy here who keeps me up to date on what is going on in many other ecosystems.
They have no vested interest or stake in this ecosystem, or perhaps they have moved their stake to another ecosystem, and they are constantly posting about how disappointed and sad they are that their assets are not moving.
So basically this is a general thing,but then those whose assets are thin would probably think it's a Hive thing. Again, unless you are holding BTC, you are down, no matter how badly or slightly.
There is time
Technically, it is not yet October/November, but with only 2 to 3 months until then, it has been determined that the show has ended.
However, I refuse to blame anyone. Imagine having massive plans from 2024 and then you're disappointed, these expectations key into your mind, creating a depth of complete sadness and then that's not all: you get to watch BTC constantly pumping and then you begin to rethink your life choices. You start to imagine the "what if" scenario.
The thought of missing out on life-changing gains after four years of accumulation. Trust me, I understand everything amd I've seen people with constant frustration everyday, watching as the market goes by and leaves them in the dust.
I still key into the belief that crypto is hard, the uncertainty that comes with it is what makes it harder,if not, everyone could've left their 9 to 5 for sure wealth, but unfortunately it's not.
The pain appears to be ongoing, and we have no idea how long it will last. I would have tried to cross-check the data from 2017 or 2021, but why would that be a waste of time?
Because everything seems to look different. One thing I don't do is key or listen to agenda theories. I do not watch YouTube videos or listen to influencers because they are all spectators who use the popularity of their accounts to spread false information and make money.
Overall
I believe we are all spectators, and no one is currently wiser than the others. At this point, it is either we drown or we float; there is no point in buying BTC again, especially if you are considering it. It may be a terrible idea, but the biggest or best advice at this point is to wait it all out and let the market pull its wands.

What Are Some Things You Should not Do During A Bull Market Year?
The year is still not over, and being disappointed in early August shows an inexperienced user doing FUD as THEIR plans didn't go how they imagined... Markets don't follow my or your plans; they do what they are supposed to do... Follow the global economic situation...
So... Are we living in a good, wealthy economy in recent years? Do you struggle with your salary to push through the month? How is your Web 2.0 neighbor doing?
We have these cycles every 4 years; they do rhyme, but they aren't the same... Not the same coins will go up in the bull... Some already did... Some never will... If someone FUDs and they are scared, that's usually a sign that they have too much money invested... and usually, that their eggs are in the same basket... That's not the problem of the market, that's THEIR problem...
Great post! It reminded me of something that happened just a few days ago! Will try to write a post about it!
Thanks for inspiring me!

Thanks for the comment lol. The fellow I'm talking about has been FUDDING a lot, and someone I saw another fellow with the same FUD and something like that. The second fellow wasn't complete FUD though, but since they're a big user in their ecosystem, I guess it's definitely going to impact how others would think, since it's coming from someone of their magnitude..
In reality, I try as much as possible to let people know that the market will do its thing when the time comes..
We just got into August and it's still about 27 days to go, but I guess we can't tell or show people how to perceive the market. The FUD around Hive seems to have grown lately, for me I just generately let people know that it's a general thing with the whole alt market .
As you've said, I guess it's just expectations and how people thought things could have turned out by now.
Hehe, you're welcome and glad to inspire you, try and tag me as well to the post.
Thank for the curation
It's hard out there... I agree... But FUDing around and shitting on everything makes no sense...
It looks like I missed a lot of drama while I was on vacation... 😃
It's true 2025 has been disappointing expecially considering how 2024 ended, but all alts are not doing well, it's not like it's just hive fault and everyone else is doing well, we are all on the same boat... I agree on not worth investing in btc, you need a lot of money to try and make any decent gain
It's a general thing with the alt market. I've seen many people complain that the market is bad and 90% of alt coin are doing badly, I guess a lot of people still thinks it's a problem with Hive. It's true we have the infrastructure and tech, but unfortunately it's a general market thing
I agree, no reason to panic. The market will do what it's going to do and we can't change that. Many will sell out of despair of fear, but you never know what's around the corner. Sure we all would have loved to have our alt gains last year, but this time everything is different. Hopefully soon we'll see some positive price movement. Great post!

The market will do it's thing. Anyone that wants to buy BTC at this point is probably doing so, for the sake of their mental health, they'll probably not gain much and will have to wait another 4 years. So, we just have to ride it out, as for hive, well I don't know. It's just what it is.
I think its rough, and this time crypto is just different. I wonder if its the full effect of the big money entering BTC through the ETFs. It just makes me wonder, but I am going to stick around on Hive. I am sure it can succeed over time if we keep developing.
BTC is being pumped by institutional money, but a lot of these money will rotate into alts in the next few weeks I think. As for Hive, I think our time will come
The emotional toll of this market is real. So many are feeling stuck, waiting for a change that might never come. Hopefully Q4 brings some relief, but yes, crypto isn’t for the faint hearted. It takes some real courage to do this
Yes, hopefully Q4, but I think it will start in September, but I agree that everything will happen in Q4, the hopes are high for October to December
I hope it all goes well 🙏🙏🙏
This ideas of yours is a great one and I know you put in a lot of effort in analysis the altcoins and BTC, what makes people human being is that our expectations are too much without considering the other factors. You can't blame hive, in one way or the other people will always be tired of something. A great project like hive to me is doing fine. It's just require patience
The market is in it's phase of expectations, so yes, most people are disappointed in how the market has turned out.
Heyy boss, seeing u after a long time. I think I have said you before too that I don't have much knowledge about bitcoin or crypto because I am from india and we are not free to trade in them. Other then that the hot news I am getting for best investment is SILVER, what do u think about it??
Precious metals are real world assets and they go up. So it's a great decision to invest in metals
No one knows what’s coming. We can only speculate and hope for the best.

The strong bullish trend in 2025 seems to be driven by institutional adoption, a more favorable regulatory environment, etc. While short term volatility remains a factor as seen in recent dips, the overall sentiment is optimistic. I see this as a period of maturation and convergence with traditional finance.
There's no doubt that some set of people is going to make that mistakes in buying BTC keep instead of buying altcoin. Reason is, presently now only BTC is pumping and other altcoin are just stagnant.
However, things will later turn around at time goes on for people who understand how crypto world works. Just like what you said, people who decided to keep altcoin will be more benefitable than people who keep BTC.
And to people leaving hive ecosystem, we can't still blame them because, everyone expectations is that, this year hive will reach $3 per 1hive, as this has happened before in some years back during bull run. So people were like by now Hive is not suppose to still remain with the current price it is now. So this got some people disappointed and not believe in the hive ecosystem again.
But what I'll say to this is that, only people who can wait, who can persevere will enjoy what is coming next. And the question is are they going to wait and have that patient when some people are already leaving. Is left to them
