Rise of the Dormant Altcoins

In a bizarre twist of fate reminiscent of a phoenix rising from the ashes, several altcoins have experienced a staggering revival this week. With price spikes touching anywhere from 3,000% to an eye-watering 6,500%, even tokens that had been cast away like Christmas sweaters after the holidays are now back in vogue.

Karma Makes a Splash

Leading the charge was Karma (KARMA), a project that still carries the scars of the 2018 market crash. Once languishing at a staggering 99% loss in value, KARMA has leaped from $0.000464 to a surreal $0.030767, marking a dizzying 6,530% increase in just seven days. However, let’s not break out the confetti just yet because the trade volume skyrocketed a staggering 35,400%—from a weekly low of just $2 to $710. Talk about hitting the big time!

The History of Karma

Originally launched on the EOS blockchain, Karma switched to the Worldwide Asset eXchange in 2019. But we haven’t heard a peep from the team since their last social media update about integrating with a WAX cloud wallet. It’s been radio silence since—unless you count the influx of new Telegram discussions resembling awkward family reunions.

Nestree’s Remarkable Leap

Following closely behind is Nestree (EGG), with its own astounding journey from $0.005511 to $0.171872—a 3,018% surge. It seems this token experienced a massive leap within five blistering minutes early Wednesday, leaving us to wonder—was this a legitimate trading surge or a manic episode fueled by caffeinated day traders?

Trading Patterns of Nestree

Over 96% of Nestree’s trade volume surged from the South Korean exchange Bithumb, where it played well with the Korean won. Launched in 2019, Nestree aims to be a rewards-based blockchain messenger. However, the team appears to have opted for a low-key existence, with social media activity dwindling dramatically since 2020.

Community Reactions

• Over 10,000 installs of the Nestree app are registered on Google Play.
• Users expressed concern regarding the requirement of personal data like mobile phone numbers for sign-up.
• One disgruntled reviewer stated, “This goes against the spirit of blockchain-based chat apps.”

Final Thoughts: The Uneven Market

The cryptocurrency market often resembles a chaotic carnival—full of weird and wonderful surprises, and sometimes just plain weird. While these rockets to the moon are a sight to behold, it’s essential to remember that not all that glitters is gold. So, whether a token is rising from the depths or just riding the latest hype wave, do your due diligence before taking the plunge into the waters of cryptocurrency investment!
