You dont understand me, I havent said that AMP price didnt went down in BTC.
What I am saying is that when it rebounces it could go up way more in respect to USD than before if it takes over a few % from BTC.
It's all relative, the USD value is pretty much the benchmark because that covers the BTC value as well.
But you fail to realize that more money could come from the BTC market cap into AMP than from the USD.
Who is going to buy AMP directly with USD? Nobody.
So what will happen is that value from BTC will trickle down into AMP, regarless of how much that is worth in USD.
And then AMP will be worth way more when BTC rises up next time, since the the AMP/BTC rises, then the AMP/USD rises even more.
I understand you perfectly. I think you don't understand me or the others. When BTC goes down hard, you should sell your alts. I am not talking about the AMP price in USD. I am talking about the AMP price in BTC. Look at what happened recently. It crashed from 2700 to 1500 (in BTC price). That's almost 50 % loss in BTC terms just because BTC lost value compared to USD. So a price crash of BTC in USD does affect the value of altcoins in BTC term. That was the whole point of the discussion. If you keep the story going that you should be blind to what BTC does compare to USD, people will stop taking you seriously. Anyone more than 2 months into crypto knows this.
