2022 To Be The Year Of Altcoins! But Not For Ethereum?

The crypto town is now enraptured in the hope of a massive bull run in the quarter. Older hands from the business have been making calculated strategies for the year. Meanwhile, novices have been fabling moonish gains. That said, optimism in the business has been compounding to an impeccable degree. 

Proponents from the business are optimistic about 2022 being the year of altcoins. Which will be a continuation of the previous year, but at an accelerated pace. As previously mentioned, traders have been hunting for altcoins to generate passive income from their holdings. On the other hand, Vitalik Buterin’s views on Bitcoin cash have taken the space by storm.

Will Altcoins Be The Synonym For Crypto Industry?

The crypto sphere is home to a plethora of altcoins. In the midst of thousands of digital assets, a handful of those has been emerging out of the shadows. With an aim to outperform the star altcoin Ethereum. The perception of the space has now escalated from being an alternative to Bitcoin to an Ethereum killer.

Which justifies the gradual shift of interest in the coin market. A proponent from the industry cites that, if altcoins are down by 80% since ATH, but have a good APY staking. Profits will be compounded massively in the near future. The annual percentage yield, which is the projected rate of annual returns, after considering compounding interest into account. The APY fluctuates based on demand and supply.

Successively, a good APY staking translates to the firm belief of holders in the project. Newer protocols have been boasting impressive staking numbers in contrast to the legacy coins. On the other hand, Ethereum has been portraying more strength than the star crypto off-late. The dominance of Ethereum is now at 19.2%, while that of Bitcoin is at 37.5%. The retest to lower levels was probably the terminal, as the next move could surge the price by about 10%.

Vitalik’s Statement Takes Ethereum To The Trend List? 

Ethereum maker Vitalik Buterin in a thread of tweets admits that his assumptions of Bitcoin Cash were wrong. And that the project has ended up being mostly a failure. The controversial statement has taken space by storm. Wherefore, the star altcoin has made it to the trend list on public platforms.

He further cites his main takeaways, saying

“communities formed around a rebellion often have a hard time, even if they have a good cause. Because they value bravery over competency and are united around resistance, rather than a coherent way forward”.

Collectively, the statements made by the Ethereum maker have been the talk of the town with the start of the year. Ethereum maximalists are now anxiously waiting for updates regarding ETH 2.0. On the other hand, traders have been exploring investment opportunities such as APY staking. With the much-anticipated merger to PoS, ETH price might embark on its odyssey to $20,000 in 2022.
