Today I happen to notice the Bitcoin price has gone up to 5400 level. Why there is no big activity in other alt coins. I feel 54% of market cap is Bitcoin. So does it mean alt coins have no value.

I feel there big inequality or all other all coins in no way par with bitcoins as it is market leader and it is distancing itself from others in Price.

The 54% market cap dominance we now see for Bitcoin might seem 'inequal', but is actually still pretty low considering BTC occupied at least 80% of the market cap before the spring of 2017. Altcoins are agressively on the offensive this year. Personally I'm diving entirely into altcoins in the coming weeks as I suspect/hope they'll yield a profit when this whole hardfork thing has passed.

Altcoins move more than Bitcoin moves, but Bitcoin seems to hold its value longer and more reliability than altcoins. It all depends on your trading style. Altcoins are best for high risk, high reward - but if you are not skilled at trading, and many people are not, just buy and hold Bitcoin.
