Good points raised, Dave. Yes, I acknowledge that for any upcoming bull run, I doubt most altcoins will not attract the same amount of speculation (at least not for sustained periods) as much as previous ones (particularly bull runs in 2017 and 2021).

Having said this, people are irrational, and there is a lot of cash flowing through the market. Thus, I expect people to pump s&!toins regardless of whether or not they're scams.

I still believe that some alts (XRP, MATIC and ADA) will pump hard whenever very strong bullish sentiment returns to this space.

I know that these cryptos have been under attack as well by the US SEC. However, this does not phase me.
