Actually very true, one of my biggest edges within crypto markets over the past 2 years was simply finding things that weren’t trash.
The bar is low in crypto - most of my sized trades were primarily made in one of 2 categories: highly speculative or fundamentally sound relative to other crypto tokens

Excuses have primarily been that markets have been “bad” with MAG7 underperformance and only pockets of outperformance in AI-adjacent industries such as memory/photonics stocks.
This could be paralleled to how many alts did not do well, yet there were specific alts with pockets of outperformance such as HYPE, ZEC, XMR, TAO, etc.
It’s time to learn fundamentals over just specifically narrative/attention
