Why Your Altcoins Still Need ETH to Hit $5K Before Explosion 🎯

by

If you’ve been holding your breath for the grand altcoin revival, you might want to sit down—and possibly have a stiff drink—because crypto influencer Alex Becker has everything under control, and it’s not looking like a fireworks show just yet.

In a recent declaration to his army of 1.3 million followers on X, Becker suavely pointed out that the grand ascent of altcoins — you know, the one we’re all dreaming about while staring at charts — is just a twinkle in the distant crypto future. According to his crystal ball, the real fireworks don’t commence until Ethereum (ETH) dares to soar past the $5,000 mark, after which the top coins might *perhaps* double, triple, or even 80x—just enough for your mother to finally notice your new ‘investment’.

“During the 2020 bull, most alt narratives didn’t even start till ETH had 3x’d its all-time high,” he sagely noted. “When they did (gaming for example), the coins shot up 10-20-50x+. Sandbox did an 80x.”

We’re Still in the ‘Early’ Days, My Dear Watson

Becker seems quite confident that we’re trapped in “phase one” of the cycle — the boring, slow-moving bit where Bitcoin, Ethereum, and their little altcoin friends decide to stretch their legs. But the *real* party? It’s rumored to start only after ETH hits the $5,000 milestone and altcoins have already doubled or tripled their gains so that the retail crowd can faint from joy and confusion.

“We won’t see the main party till we see a 5K+ ETH and top alts have moved 2-3x,” he declared, adding a touch of dramatic flair.

And that’s when the average trader—usually under the influence of too much Reddit and YouTube hype—becomes “absolutely drunk” on profits and starts hunting for the next shiny thing to lose their house over.

The Next Big Narratives—A Unholy Trinity?

According to Becker, there are three sectors primed to steal the show when the curtain rises again:

AI (Artificial Intelligence): Because who doesn’t want to make crypto even more confusing with on-chain models and data networks? Momentum is building faster than your neighbor’s flower garden.

RWA (Real World Assets): Actual tangible things like real estate, stocks, and bonds wrapping themselves in blockchain couture. The big finance boys are finally paying attention.

Gaming: Remember the last cycle? Yes, it’s coming back—easy to explain, hype-friendly, and a surefire way to make your portfolio look like a rollercoaster.

Remember Sandbox? Or Not.

Becker’s highlight reel brings us back to 2020 with SAND. It was the slow starter, lurking in the shadows, until ETH and the top alts decided to take their nap, and then—bam!—it exploded nearly 80x from its humble beginnings. Even the flakiest game tokens, with as much usefulness as a screen door on a submarine, saw 10-20x gains once the gaming hype hit full throttle. 🎮🚀

The Golden Rule: Patience, Dear Investor!

Becker’s message is as clear as a cloudless sky: don’t be the fool rushing into the fireworks before they’re actually lit. The cycle is still creeping forward, and those mind-blowing gains? Maybe months away—so you might as well sit back, relax, and enjoy the show from your comfy chair.

“Most are losing their mind wanting this now. Stop it. Wait,” he quipped, with a grin that says, “I told you so.”

So, if you’re watching the crypto circus, the best advice is to be patient, keep a wary eye on ETH, and brace yourself when the narratives switch—because the chaos, my friend, is just warming up. 🚧🔥
