Tons of altcoins are still sitting at cycle lows against $BTC. Like, their BTC pair charts? Still in the basement.

Most people don't realize — we haven't even started the real alt run yet. Everyone's impatient, checking their bags every hour, but if you zoom out, most alts haven't done anything meaningful relative to Bitcoin.

I've been through a few of these cycles, and this part always feels the longest. You're holding stuff that technically hasn't moved in months, maybe a year, and it's easy to think you missed it or picked wrong. But that's usually when things are just warming up.

The big moves? They come later, and they come fast. Right now it's all about patience and not getting shaken out before the actual party starts.
