Altcoin Season Unveiled: When and What to Invest in
Crypto enthusiasts are buzzing with the age-old question: What’s the best altcoin to buy in 2024? Analyst Michaël van de Poppe suggests that the current period, three to eight months before Bitcoin’s halving, is prime for altcoin investment. As the altcoin season dawns, van de Poppe advises a shift to Ethereum ($ETH). With countless altcoins available, investors face a challenging decision amid the expansive non-fungible tokens (NFTs) space.
