During the Christmas holiday, Bitcoin's performance has been somewhat boring—liquidity has noticeably shrunk, and the volatility is much lower compared to before. This dull situation is expected to continue until Western traders return to their posts. Only when they re-enter the market will the vitality truly recover.

During this waiting period, many people have turned their attention to altcoins. To be honest, small-cap coins tend to behave this way—once they start moving, the upward momentum can be quite fierce, with fluctuations of ten or dozens of points being common, and doubling in value also happens from time to time. Compared to the steady growth of Bitcoin, altcoins are more like a game of probability. Risks and rewards always come hand in hand, and it ultimately depends on an individual's risk tolerance.
