Can altcoins explode 3X from here? History says "Yes"!
Do you remember yesterday how excited we were about the opportunities in TOTAL3 (the market capitalization without $BTC and $ETH)?
Well, the euphoria hasn’t faded. Quite the opposite…
π History doesn’t lie
- At the peak of the 2017/2018 bull run, TOTAL3 reached about $358B.
- In 2021/2022 – it was already $1.13T.
- That’s about a 3X growth between the two cycles.
If history repeats, logic suggests the next peak should be at least 3X above the 2022 top.
But here’s the big surprise: TOTAL3 still hasn’t broken the ATH from 2022, even though the crypto world has completely changed since then:
- The SEC is now much closer to crypto β
- DeFi has exploded π
- ETFs and even public companies hold altcoins π¦
- NFTs are making a comeback (yes, again) π¨
In other words – we’ve got a huge amount of built-up momentum that’s just waiting to erupt. Looking at history, we’re still only at the start!
π Google enters the game with Layer 1
And here’s where it gets even more interesting. Google announced its own blockchain – Google Cloud Universal Ledger (GCUL).
Sounds like just another network, right? But there’s a catch: distribution.
- Apple Mail is mediocre, but it has 2.49 billion users.
- Venmo beat Cash App simply because of convenience.
- Threads became the fastest-growing app ever, even though it’s basically a Twitter copy.
Google holds the same weapon – 3+ billion active Google Cloud users.
Compare that with Ethereum: about 17.55M active addresses monthly.
If even 1% of Google Cloud’s audience joins GCUL, it would nearly double Ethereum.
π‘ Threat or opportunity?
Sounds a little scary – a “corporate blockchain” competing with Ethereum. But the truth is, crypto will never be “one chain to rule them all”.
People hold multiple cryptocurrencies. Even Bitcoin maximalists own other coins.
So mass adoption in Google’s style will more likely bring more new people into crypto overall, rather than “eat up” the market share of already established networks.
More users = more liquidity = price goes up.
π₯ History is on the side of altcoins, and the news just keeps fueling the fire.
