With few exceptions, why would anyone invest in altcoins that can only be traded with Bitcoin?
Altcoins have lower point of entry. You can have 80 LTC for the price of 1 BTC. Not imagine that you bought that LTC before news about SegWit hit us.
Price of LTC was stable at around $4 for years, not it is $16
Just remeber for markets to work, for everyone who's getting wealthy, there also has to be someone going broke.
100% agree, everything is connected - you will can find yourself broke much more often that anything, if you are not cautious with your trading/investing.
Remember this all still incredibly new and 100% completely unregulated. Most of you probably have cryptocurrency on a wallet just refusing to sell it because you just know the value will increase. Will it, will it really?
Bitcoin is around since 2009 and its history made me think that there is high chance for it to success. I am not trying to be paranoid about regulations or legislation.
