I am wondering if there are coins that are independent to the Bitcoin price? Like, if Bitcoin's value increases, the altcoin will not increase at the same time Bitcoin does. Or maybe, I am wrong that the price of Bitcoin doesn't have any effect to the value of altcoins? Please enlighten me with this topic. If there's any coins that are independent, what are the benefits that you can get in investing to that altcoin that you can't get in investing in Bitcoin?
IMHO most of top 100 (I mean coinmarketcap.com) altcoins to some extent depends on the bitcoin price (especially ETH).
But there is a huge amount of shitoins and new alts. For a while they really "live" independently.
