 <p class="paragraph">After <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="altcoins" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/altcoins.html">altcoins</a> took a breather in the final weeks of December 2023, cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin (BTC) entered 2024 with renewed optimism and currently represent a great investment for the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="start" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/start.html">start</a> of the new year, some more than others, and some still available at the low price threshold below $1.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Indeed, “the hype is getting back” in the crypto markets, and altcoins are still good to invest in, as recently noted by renowned crypto trading expert Michaël van de Poppe in his X post published on December 29, in which he also explains why they are such a great investment.</p>
