🔍 Most Mentioned Small Market Cap Coin 🔍

What users are saying
Several users say they’re steadily accumulating Kaspa (“buying $100–$200 a week”), anticipating a future price target of $10.

Others criticize it as “85% mined in the first year” and label it a scam.

There’s talk of a recent or upcoming “10bps” hardfork, though some consider it overhyped given low mainstream adoption.

Controversial yet actively discussed. Enthusiasts see high upside potential; skeptics question token economics and distribution.

💬 "Don’t care, bought $100 more today. Slow and steady, and never sell a thing."

💬 "Literally and unironically the same s**t I heard people saying about bitcoin in 2015."

💰 Most Mentioned Coin 💰

(excluding Bitcoin & Ethereum)

What users are saying:
XRP faces skepticism from users due to its long-promised banking adoption not materializing, causing frustration and doubt regarding its market potential.

💬 "Ripple has been shilling that major banks are on the tipping point of using XRP for global settlement for over 10 years. 10+ years later, banks and financial institutions still have zero interest in XRP and are not buying XRP."

💬 "Ripple doesn't want to be Venmo, it wants to be SWIFT. The only way through that is the US government. That's why everyone in xrp buys XRP. That's exactly why I don't."

📈 Market Sentiment 📈

📊 Overall Market Sentiment
Bearish sentiment due to macroeconomic uncertainty like tariffs and interest rates. A strong rally is required for Q1 recovery.

💬 "Macroeconomic factors dampening crypto; historically strong Q1 ends poorly unless rallied."

🟠 Bitcoin Sentiment
Bullish long-term sentiment despite short-term macroeconomic pressures.

💬 "Bitcoin’s independence from government backing ensures long-term global value."

🟣 Ethereum Sentiment:
Negative outlook due to recent drastic declines, but historical patterns hint at recovery potential.

💬 "Ethereum heavily oversold; past trends suggest eventual strong rebound."

📜 Influencer Analysis 📜

Influencers advise caution with the Fear & Greed Index, emphasizing it shouldn't be used alone. High greed levels historically don't always signal downturns, and recent rapid fluctuations suggest a weak altcoin market due to limited retail involvement.

A sustained altcoin rally appears unlikely without macroeconomic shifts, such as monetary policy easing.
