According to @jacobvcreech and @trentdotsol, a critical trading risk with altcoins (ALTs) stems from poor user experience (DX) and issues with legacy transactions, which can impact transaction reliability and increase the potential for failed trades. These inefficiencies create barriers for traders, leading to increased slippage and missed opportunities in volatile crypto markets. Verified sources highlight that unlike Bitcoin’s robust infrastructure, many altcoins lack mature transaction protocols, making them less attractive for high-frequency and institutional trading strategies (source: Twitter thread by @jacobvcreech and @trentdotsol).
