Your altcoin can fall 90% and still be expensive.
If circulating supply triples, getting back to the old price requires 3× the old circulating market cap.
That isn’t “just a recovery.”
That’s a much bigger valuation.
Now add a harder question:
Does the token capture the value the protocol creates—or merely fund the incentives that make its growth look impressive?
My altcoin thesis:
Find demand that survives lower rewards.
Check whether that demand actually needs the token.
Then price the supply still waiting to enter circulation.
An old ATH is a historical price, not a valuation model.
Which alt actually survives this test?
