Memories of "Altseason" 2017: Lessons and Expectations for 2025
2017 marked an unprecedented boom period for altcoins - when the cryptocurrency market witnessed coins like ETH, XRP, Litecoin, and many other names achieve remarkable growth. If you experienced the 'altseason' in 2017, you will surely remember the exhilaration and valuable lessons. So, what made the miracle of 2017, and what lessons can we apply to 2025 - a year expected to bring a new cycle to the cryptocurrency market?
2017: When Altcoins Soared 🚀 2017 is a year when altcoins have recorded growth beyond imagination, with some coins reaching over 1000% increase! The shining stars of 2017 Ethereum (ETH): The price of ETH has increased from about 8 USD to over 1,400 USD. The reason for this success: The emergence of DeFi (decentralized finance) and the unlimited potential of smart contracts. Ripple (XRP): From a price of only 0.006 USD, XRP reached a peak of over 3.50 USD. The main driving force: Promises to reform global payments and collaboration with major financial institutions. Litecoin (LTC): Increased from 4 USD to 360 USD. The main reason: Considered as the "silver" to Bitcoin's "gold", Litecoin has leveraged its brand strength and faster transaction speed. Other Altcoins: Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Cardano (ADA), NEO, and TRON (TRX) have also seen significant growth, initiating the concept of "altseason" - a period in which altcoins outperform Bitcoin in price increases. Why Did Altcoins Soar in 2017? 🧐 FOMO Effect (Fear of Missing Out): When Bitcoin reaches new highs, investors quickly switch to altcoins in the hope of making quick profits. This creates a whirlwind of speculation.Innovative projects: Ethereum with smart contracts, XRP with cross-border payment solutions, and many other altcoins have real potential.Media attention: 2017 was the first year that cryptocurrencies received significant attention from the mainstream media, bringing millions of new investors into the market.
