2024 can be described as unfriendly to altcoins, forming a stark contrast with Bitcoin's strong performance.

Just look at this report card:

$APT down 86%, $ARB down 77%, $DOT down 75%, $NEAR down 73%, $ICP down 73%, $AVAX down 72%, $TON down 71%, $ALGO down 68%, $SUI down 61%, $ADA down 59%.

Even industry-recognized quality projects are not immune. $LINK nearly halved (-49%), $TAO down 44%, $AAVE down 43%. Even the relatively resilient $SOL posted a -34% result. And the performance of $ETH is even more intriguing.

This wave of market movement fully demonstrates the "Matthew Effect"—the strong at the top, while others fade into obscurity. The overall performance of the altcoin ecosystem has already said it all.

BTC0,23%

APT2,19%

ARB1,98%

DOT2,76%

Oh my, APT was directly cut by 86%, how much can one harvest from this... --- Once again, BTC is the only one dancing solo, while other coins are just casualties. Truly impressive. --- I just want to know who is still bottom-fishing these knockoffs. Such courage. --- SOL dropped 34% and still considered "resilient"? Then I must be a master of fighting inflation. --- Looking at my wallet, I have a realization... Turns out only the top projects are truly comfortable to hold. --- LINK is down 49%, everyone. Is this still considered a quality project? Laughing to death. --- Once this data came out, I feel I need to reevaluate my investment portfolio... --- Matthew Effect? No, this is called big fish eating small fish—brutal reality. --- 2024 has just passed, and I feel like I haven't earned anything, but instead lost money.
