BTC went up - alts went down, BTC went down - alts went down, this was the case before December, when cryptocurreny market pumped last time.
But according to coinmarketcap BTC dominance in crypto market is 34%, though it was more than 60-70% on September, doesn't it mean that people started paying more attention ta altcoins and so alts eventually becoming more "independent"?
I don't think it will happen this year or even next, but don't you think that some top altcoins may bypass bitcoin in the near future?
Sometimes when argument like this are made I just laugh because with hundreds of coins and several hundres more as token with several more coming out on a daily basis bitcoin alone was able to corner 34% in the market while others try to get as much as they can from the remaining 66% and even the 34% is just a matter if days which might increase to any percentage in a matter of days. For that reason,, I am not bothered.
