i really like the idea of alternate pairs whether it be a stock pair or a major because it just broadens the potential buyer base from these mercenary type traders that hold things for 10 seconds and then sell to now people that have aim and vision.. a zcash:native pair attracted both meme speculators & the ZEC community in a way a USDC pair does not, even if the actual value accrual for ZEC is weak the narrative alone which increases mindshare is not

best coins to purchase for me are usually the ones that maintain relative strength & attention during a broader downtrend in their own ecosystem & while majors are going sideways. buying into downward strength has consistently been one of the better signals for me when making a trade, usually the strongest coins lead the strongest reversals this has been a long range of vertical accumulation on $ANSEM with demand that’s continuing to grow steadily for this specific asset all while the underlying ecosystem overall has just been losing attention mostly this is the best spot i’ve seen a asymmetric setup like this in a long time. sellers continue to get absorbed by persistent demand with conviction which will result in fewer and fewer sellers at these levels, the holder base is growing infinitely stronger every day, so much distribution that is still completely untapped and multiple different verticals for $ANSEM to win in when everybody else is thinking short term your only edge is to increase your timeframe & think long term -> remain focused
