After this so-called bull run ends, Ethereum and a bunch of altcoins might really be finished for good.

Belief? Credibility? They've already shattered into pieces. The drops are brutally steep and absurdly high, but when it comes to gains? They just can't hold up—the growth is totally out of proportion. Looking at the market now, retail investors have basically all been wiped out, and what's left is just institutions and whales trading among themselves.

To be honest, this might be the last hurrah for altcoins. Those legendary stories of 100x or 1000x wealth creation now seem more like the final frenzy of a harvesting game. Market sentiment is ice-cold, and capital is no longer willing to step in and take over. The whole ecosystem feels like a pool of stagnant water.

Maybe this is the curtain call for the altcoin era.

This time it's really over, all the retail investors' hard-earned money has gone into the hands of the whales. --- Wake up, everyone, stop catching the falling knife. This game has been dead for a while. --- The dream of 100x returns is shattered; now it's just the last frenzy of fleecing retail investors. --- To put it bluntly, it's still the same old trick—retail investors follow the lead of institutions at just a glance. --- It's completely cold now, nobody dares to get in anymore, seriously. --- I'm just watching you all rush in, and then we'll all hit the limit down together. --- The story of altcoins should be over by now, right? --- All the funds have fled; what's left, what good show can there be? --- The funny thing is there are still people waiting for a rebound, haha. --- It's just passing from one hand to another, but in the end it's always us retail investors who suffer.

*checks charts from 2017* ah yes, the classic "this time is different" followed by capitulation phase we've seen exactly three times before

LOL, another doomsayer. People said the same thing around this time last year—so what happened? --- Institutions dump on retail, and retail dumps on themselves. This cycle is seriously wild. --- The 100x myth shattered long ago. Now it's all just arbitrage games, really not interesting anymore. --- Bear market over? I think it's just your hype that's over, haha. --- Rather than waiting to die, might as well all in on a small token and take a shot—it's already like this anyway. --- This is probably Web3's fate: it's always just whales eating retail. --- Call it an "adjustment" if you want to sound nice; call it a "rug pull" if you want to be real. Nothing new. --- Saying it's a dead pool is exaggerated, but it's definitely lost its excitement. --- Belief? Screw that, I only trust my own wallet. --- Those still holding on are probably really stuck and can't get out.

There’s no one left to fleece, so they’ll hype up a new concept next round to lure people in. Retail investors are all wiped out, institutions are just entertaining themselves—seen this show too many times. They talk about faith every day, but the ones who believed the most lost the hardest. Isn’t that ironic? Altcoins? They should’ve died long ago; it’s already too late for people to realize now. Honestly, this might really be the last wave. If there’s no one left to buy in, it’s a dead end.

All cooled off? Bro, did you even check your position? This is the last chance to buy the dip—go all in!

Another doomsayer, I'm numb to it. They say this every bear market. What, can't buy the dip so now you're freaking out? Should've gotten out earlier, what's the point of holding on now? Guess it's just the retail investor's fate, might as well accept it. I don't know if the altcoins will die, but my coins are already dead anyway.
