$BTC traditional financial tycoons have begun to "sentence altcoins" to death?
Kevin O'Leary (the "Mr. Wonder" from the reality TV show) recently put a harsh remark: calling most altcoins "poopoo coins" and saying that they are almost doomed.
It is important who says this from the mouth - he is not an ordinary retail investor who vents his emotions in the group, but a senior investor in a suit and sitting in a Wall Street office. It is equivalent to people in the traditional financial circle who have begun to publicly "rank seats" in the currency circle.
To put it more bluntly:
He only keeps Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Other? In his eyes, there is no value in even looking at it. This screening criterion is cruel - it's like throwing a bunch of test papers on the ground, picking up only three copies, and stepping on the rest directly.
My understanding is:
When an outsider starts labeling assets in the circle, it often means two things - either the market is really differentiating (garbage to garbage, value to value), or it is creating a new narrative to facilitate their entry into harvesting.
Either way, the result is the same: projects that are not supported by practical applications and live purely on hype will have less and less room to live. But don't forget, death doesn't happen overnight - many "dead" coins can be used for several rounds to harvest those who are lucky.
So don't buy or sell brainlessly just because a celebrity says something. Just because he buys SOL doesn't mean you should buy it too, and his scolding of altcoins doesn't mean that all small currencies don't have a chance.
The market is always smarter than anyone.
The last sentence is for friends who are still holding a bunch of coins that "hope it will rise back": When the tide is low, you know who is swimming naked.

Hey, another Wall Street person sentencing people in the crypto circle, so funny. Basically just wanting to control the pricing.
---
SOL's huge surge this round, isn't it just these guys starting to buy the dip? What big truths are they talking about?
---
On the other hand, the coins he doesn't watch might actually be the next opportunity. This logic has a bit of a contrarian indicator vibe.
---
I don't know if the altcoins will die or not, but I won't change my HODL stance. I'll wait until they really go all-in before reconsidering.
---
That last sentence was brilliant. Many are indeed swimming naked, but not all are leeks; some are gamblers.
---
Don't be brainwashed by celebrities. That's true, but don't pretend to be clear-headed and do the opposite either—it's just as risky.
---
BTC, ETH, SOL—the three brothers—are indeed the only ones that can leak out of the sieve; most of the others are just riding along.
---
The tide reveals the naked swimmers; this metaphor is overused, but it really hits home. I'm still among those hoping it will rise again.

Kevin basically uses his words to endorse his own portfolio. This trick has been played by Wall Street for decades.

Hey, this guy really speaks harshly, but to be honest, there are indeed quite a few trash coins among the altcoins.

Haha, Kevin, this guy is a bit ruthless, but to be honest, BTC, ETH, and SOL are indeed in clear echelons, and those pure air projects should be washed

Ouch, another Wall Street buddy teaches us how to play with coins? It's amazing
When people reach middle age, they still sleep with three coins in their arms, and they don't have much courage
I've heard this kind of "seat arrangement" argument too much, and this guy blew SOL again, and maybe he will change his words again next week
Altcoins are damn about this, in fact, they want you to feel damn - so low price to attract funds
The metaphor of naked swimming is tiring to hear, but there is really nothing wrong with it
I am afraid that those who listen to him will follow the trend and sell small coins with real potential, but support the control game of these old money
Again, it is always retail investors who lose the most by following the trend
