NO SHILLS. NO SHITCOINS. STOP IT. Have you ever thought about why the crypto market is fundamentally different from the previous 3 cycles? I suggest you think about it together. As of December 13, 2025, there are 59,381,191 tokens out there, if you count most blockchains SOL, XRP, BASE, TRON etc. These tokens are created with the support of blockchains and, in fact, there is a struggle for liquidity between blockchains. With every new token launch, the existing liquidity in the market gets split up-it's not hard to imagine where that's heading in the end. And exchanges looking to make a buck will obviously speed up the process by listing any token that can cough up a relatively small fee for it. What was it like before? During the ICO boom in crypto's second cycle (2014–2017), there were only 13,200 cryptocurrencies by the end of 2017. In the institutional cycle (2018-2021), when funds and big institutional investors started piling in and placing major bets on various altcoins, the number of altcoins ballooned to 3,124,000 by the end of 2021. The logical question is, what's next? Will the number of tokens keep growing? I don't think so-we're close to a breaking point. You've probably already heard about the lightning-fast crashes in the altcoin market this year; that happened precisely because of the lack of liquidity. Market-making trading bots try to keep prices stable with minimal spreads using HFT orders, but you can't fake liquidity-it's just not enough. I figure most altcoins will keep plunging -70% and more in a matter of hours, and this will happen over and over again until exchanges start mass delistings. Liquidity has gotten smarter; in 2026, the US is rolling out a softer monetary policy, but please, don't think your shitcoin is going to pump-that's deceptive. At least to me. I plan to focus on the strongest decentralized cryptocurrencies based on fundamentals, such as $ADA & BTC. Be smart.
