Ben Simpson (speaker) argues that the market may be entering a major altcoin season similar to 2021. He focuses on the ETH/BTC (ETHBTC) chart: ETHBTC had been in a nearly four-year downtrend (down ~80) but recently bounced, with Ethereum beginning to outperform Bitcoin (Ben cites ~160% recent gain). He compares this to 2021 when ETH outperformed BTC by about 400% over ~two years, and notes falling Bitcoin dominance as a supporting signal — but cautions that individual altcoin selection matters.

This could be the biggest altcoin run since 2021. And here is what I'm looking at right now to showcase you guys why I believe that there's two charts I want to show you. The first one is the ETH BTC chart. This is where we actually see the Ethereum performance against bitcoin, which is historically the showcase of altcoin season. All right, we have been down in a downward trend for literally nearly four years. ETHBTC has been down 80%. And finally we've had a bounce. If we look back at 2021, when we actually had the biggest altcoin run in history, we went on a huge run where ETH outperformed bitcoin over about a two year period by 400%. All right, right now, Ethereum has only started to break out in the last month or two and we're only up approximately 160%. All right, as Ethereum starts to outperform, this is where the altcoins follow. You need to study trends and get on board when the market dominance flips into altcoins. Bitcoin dominance is starting to fall. That is a great sign. But remember, there's so many more altcoins than ever before. You have to be the right ones to get the right returns in altcoin season. But for me, we are just in the beginning. So strap in.
