"A few cryptocurrencies are rising in value and some feature faster processing times and lower fees. These are attributes that are favorable for a retail payment system. These upstart coins include Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash and others, to name a few.

i don't know to be surprised or not to see bitcoin.com post this!
we all know ETH and DASH have terrible scaling issues. and worst thing is that ETH is not even a currency which the developers even state this multiple times, yet they say "payment"!

The total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies is $184.5 billion as of November 1, and Bitcoins $109.4 billion market cap represents 59.7% of that.

that is only because "creating" market cap is easy. you just have to release some shitcoin with a lot of supply. let say 100 billion and that will "Create" market cap out of nowhere but that is just fake number increasing this total market cap in a fake way.

BTCs dominance continues as the most popular and valuable coin. However, Bitcoins market share has somewhat eroded as more coins enter the marketplace and investors diversify their holdings.

bitcoin's dominance has always been the same. it has all the market share of businesses which have adopted cryptocurrencies as payment.
the trading volume has always been the highest and the most consistent which stays up always not just during the pumps like altcoins.

Cryptos have different features which means coins differentiate themselves by being useful for specific applications.

true, but they are all "features" and features without "applications" mean nothing.
