If you've always read my post, you'll realize that I'm the realistic type of creator, and it has taken me 9 years to develop this aspect of me that makes assessment without sentiment. 4 years ago, this wasn't how I make assessment, and I think the brutal nature of crypto and its difficult realities can shape people like this.
Okay, before I start I want to say that crypto will be absolute fireworks in 2028, that is, we will have new narratives, new tokens, (not looking forward to this one, as it dilutes detail) new tech, new projects and a market that will absolutely move big, but in the next 3 to 6 months.
I think all we're going to have is a market that's trying to bottom, and this wouldn't be a good outlook for the prediction I'm making for 2028, but this is literally what crypto is, and what it has always been, so no fears for this one.
I have a notion: the market is far spent and has reached an elasticity and I believe after Q4 2026, it may not longer be able to "dump". It wasn't able to replicate at least 30% of its pump strength in 2021, and even if you think that dump elasticity is something that's not real.
I think it's actually real, also, skipping one market cycle without a pump is not so bad, but skipping the next will probably not happen, and if does, it will definitely signal the end of the 4 years market cycle.
I think the market needed a lot of adjusted. 2021 created DEFI, NFT and smart contracts, 2024/25 wss just mostly all about scam coins and dump coins, them we had a lot of garbage coins including the US president launching a scam coin of his own.
There was a lot of launch without proper "building" of any crypto business or chains with proper use cases.
A lot of crypto influencer launches multiple useless RWA products that never saw the light of day, and for most it was just about exploitation and no proper use case, or the older chains no longer getting as much traction because the market was just about scam, dump and exploitation.
When I look around, I honestly cannot see these guys or these coins anymore. A lot of them have now left the space, and that sanity is honestly what the market needs, going into 2028. Even though prices are bad at the moment.
Dumps & Sanity
There's a lot of sanity, and this is probably what we need: a market that suddenly pumps and just aligns with projects that are already existing, and not scam projects that just wants to do ICO to steal from people.
.Say all what you want about Hive and all it's frailties, it's one of the only remaining places in the entire space without these cash grabs and all that. It's one of the safest places to be in crypto, even though the financial returns may not currently e mind-blowing, just for the moment.
Final words
Just like I said, the market is already stretched and there's no way we're getting another market season without pump, and that's why I think the next market (bull season in mid to late 2028) will be honestly better than what we had in late 2024. However again, this isn't a financial advice, I'm just thinking out aloud and trying to decipher the market from my point of view.
So in 2 years time, I see a x10 to x15 pump down the current price positions and even better, by the end of that year. Although I also think this is the worst case scenario.
I'm talking based on worst case scenarios, and I want to leave best case scenario because the bottom is easier to put a ring on, and this is harder for the top.
I honestly don't think it gets worse, it doesn't seem like it would, it doesn't make sense, and even though I realize that crypto does not really make a lot of sense when it comes to a lot of metrics ww measure it with, it actually leaves us with a lot of clues on what the possibilities should be like.
Hopefully we're still in the game when the time comes, hopefully, you'll continue to build towards that time.
My two long shots are HIVE and CRO. They're both about the same price.
My for sure buys for the long term are BTC and HYPE.
Yeah, for your sure buys, you're actually solid, but for me, I'd replace BTC with SOL.
Today was a terrible day for a lot of people, myself included. I finally capitulated on most of my crypto holdings that were liquid - not because I wanted to but because I'm facing a bigger problem. My brokerage account was margin called on this massive red day along with hundreds of thousands of other traders. In order to prevent forced selling of my stocks I decided to get some money out of what little crypto I have left and try to salvage what's left over there.
I had built up a sizeable Sonic token position last year and then bought a stupid amount of SUI and a few other tokens in the last two months to boot. Sitting on a huge drawdown on all of those positions I had to make the choice of either just keep waiting or cut the losses now to save my stocks. Of course it doesn't feel good trying to juggle multiple losing positions in a market like this so I said fine, I will just cut the crypto and focus on what I can elsewhere.
So for now my only bags are staked Hive, a small PulseChain buy from a month ago, plus some random tokens here and there like ANON (HeyAnon). Feels bad man, especially when I had the chance to cut my losses many times in the past. When your hand is forced theres nothing really you can do.
I'm sorry for how the market affected you. I think the biggest fear of a crypto holder is to sell when they're at loss because they need the money. It's always critical to actually manage your finances: selling off whatever you don't think has a prospect.
I did that a few months ago; sold off a lot of stash that I honestly felt didn't have any prospects at all, and I'm Happy with my decisions.
Yes, I also had a lot of times to cut off my loss in the past, I never did it, but I think people like you and I have learned lessons from being in loss, and I know that the next market pump will definitely reward the faith we currently have.
Hive is better than most of the other cryptos out there by far. It just sucks to see things get so mismanaged, and let's hope Hive can survive to make it to the next alt bull market.
Yeah, it just sucks, and I'm still hoping the witness can just wake up from their slumber and so something.. this is honestly one of the safest spaces on the Internet, and I hope more people finds out soon
Could HIVE and other altcoins dip further by 2028?
just unpredictable
In BTC and major coins I see a massive push, but in the smaller ones I think only a select few have a bright future. We'll see if Hive can make it that long, I honestly hope so... How are you feeling these days?
