Some idiots even dare to blame Bitcoin for that due to the firmly correlated price action. It's not Bitcoin's problem that altcoins don't move without Bitcoin guiding them. If altcoins can't move on their own they are shit.
Definitely. People don't understand that ~75% of the value altcoins currently have is donated to them by Bitcoin due to their tie.
People also don't understand that without Bitcoin's tie there is no way to value an altoin or token. Tokens are priced in Ether, which is based on Ether's value against Bitcoin. It's impossible to value an altcoin or token without people comparing its relative value to Bitcoin in order to determine whether or not it's expensive or not expensive. All the spoiled altcoin brats should show a little more respect to big daddy Bitcoin.
