Alts in the big‑cap arena? They’re doing the classic “one last‑minute jog and then benched for the day” routine. Only the privacy coins are throwing in their hat into the ring and pulling off an impressive comeback (and a couple of high‑five emoji). You know, because silence is a thing.
On May 15, a Twitter account belonging to the anonymity-loving Santiment Intelligence had the luxury of posting a chart that looked like a sunburst during a solar eclipse.
