In this segment Alexander Lorenzo explains that altcoins typically track Bitcoin’s price movements, often amplifying Bitcoin’s gains with higher multiples. However, over multi‑year horizons (7‑10 years) most altcoins tend to die out. The most lucrative opportunities—potential 100x returns—come from buying brand‑new coins during bear markets that perfectly fit a strong, emerging narrative or niche. Lorenzo positions himself as a short‑term (position) trader for altcoins while maintaining long‑term holdings in Bitcoin, XRP, and Ethereum.

Yeah, so typically altcoins follow Bitcoin in trajectory. Like if Bitcoin goes up, they're going to follow, but they'll follow at a higher multiple. So they'll be like much more lucrative. But what usually happens, not all the time, but usually over time, like over a 10-year period, over a 7-year period, they die. But the best sauce is in the bear market, brand new coins that are really good, brand new, specifically brand new. Brand new that like match the niche flawlessly that's working, like the the the narrative narrative and niche to me is like very similar. So like it matches the category that's doing well. Brand new coins that have never existed before. Those are the hundred Xs. Yeah, but I'm not a long-term holder of altcoins. I'm a position trader of altcoins. If I long hold like forever, it's Bitcoin, XRP, Ethereum.
