Someone from the traditional finance world just fired some shots—the famous investor Kevin O'Leary, known as the "Shark" from reality TV, recently declared most altcoins dead in the water.

This "Mr. Wonderful" isn't just some retail investor ranting in a community chat; he's a suit-and-tie veteran investor. But now he's using the bluntest terms to label altcoins: he called them "poopoo coins." In other words—shitcoins—and he predicts they're about to go cold.

His words are harsh, but his actions are even harsher. He only keeps three coins in his own wallet: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The implication is clear: aside from these major assets, everything else is trash to him, not worth keeping around.

It's a fascinating situation. It's like a foreign shark swimming into a lively coral reef—not to socialize, but to hunt—swallowing up the mainstream coins he likes, spitting out the garbage, and stirring up the entire ecosystem in the process.

But one thing needs to be made clear: don’t treat any celebrity’s opinion as gospel. Even a "shark" of this caliber can only influence short-term market sentiment and maybe speed up the exit of some failed projects. The death of truly worthless projects is a long and repetitive process—there will still be zombie rallies designed to trap those clinging to false hope.

And don’t blindly follow just because he bought SOL. When it comes to investing, you need to make your own judgments.

Hopefully, your portfolio consists of assets that can stand up to the test of the market, not the kind you only realize are worthless after the tide goes out.
