#meme Japan's interest rate hike, will altcoins be the first to take the hit?

In the past couple of days, the discussions in the circle have felt a bit panicked, and it seems like the narrative is as follows:

• Bank of Japan: I'm going to raise interest rates

• Global leveraged funds: That's it, we have to pay more rent

• Altcoins: ??? Why am I getting cut first?

The logic is actually quite simple:

When money gets tight, everyone first cuts off the most difficult-to-explain and difficult-to-cash-out parts—small-cap altcoins, high-multiple MEME tokens, and high-yield DeFi. Although BTC and mainstream coins will also drop, a lot of funds tend to 'buy back slowly after the drop.'

So what we often see is:

• Altcoins dropped by 40%,

• BTC only dropped by 10–15%,

• Then BTC rebounds first, and altcoins are left confused.

Your current holding structure is:

A. BTC/ETH as the main focus

B. Altcoins are invincible

C. USDT is my true love
