I wonder why this topic is not discussed more. The bitcoin dominance compared to other coins.
For years bitcoin marketcap was around 90%. Then it dropped to 40% in jun 2017 and peaked in dec 2017 at 60%.
But then it dropped to 38% today!
So this means that the value is moved into other coins. It's a big run. The total market cap stays quite the same.
But when bitcoin will crash hard, don't people understand that when the flagship goes down, the other boats become worthless? I believe this is way more important than the current loss in price at the moment.

There is really nothing to discuss here because the dominance based on the figure you quoted is just based on the price of the respective coins which vary as time passes. As the time you quoted the figure, the percentage is 38% where as if the price of bitcoin should take a jump to $15000 while the other alt coins suffers some amount of crash or drop in price, then it mean that the dominance of bitcoin is proclaimed just by changing of figures over a short period of time.
