Market Weakness and Altcoin Pain — Watch Closely

I read the chat: participants complain about a market pullback and general negativity as prices drift lower. The mood is defensive and participants expect more downside rather than a rebound.

There are specific worries: an apparent Ergo mining/transaction anomaly with unusually high fees and sudden coin inflows, and continued declines in smaller coins like Kaspa and Notcoin. Some joke about Starknet and there is talk of hype around Ethereum possibly being used to unload positions.

A few members still hope Bitcoin will be bought into the weekend, but the overall tone is cautious — I see more selling pressure in alts and isolated operational concerns that merit watching rather than buying.
