It seems the crypto market has really been altered and it has completely changed from what we knew it to be some years ago. One would expect the altcoins to be doing a wonder increase by now but that is not the case.

Everyone in the current crypto market had made permutations on market directions based on what they knew. But it seems the market just has what it wants to do.

that's right, the crypto market has changed a lot from before, which was initially dominated by speculators and small/retail investors, but now the crypto market has been dominated by whales and institutions, regulatory changes and blockchain technology innovations that have grown rapidly.

I think it has changed overtime with the recent decline in prices driven by tariffs, sticky inflation and maybe negative investor sentiments as well

The market used to be very different, both philosophically and in economic terms; nowadays, the retail investor has almost disappeared from the market, while the big players are slowly beginning to control the pie.

The crypto market is no longer taking the patterns that we used to know before. Everyone expecting it to take same patterns has been disappointed.

Crypto market is expanding and atteacting many investors and whales making the market more vibrant and progressive. A lot of institutions that have criticized cryptocurrency is now jumping into the bandwagon.

The crypto market has really changed from what it used to be. The whales have made the market very difficult to predict.
