The Etherum cannot grow without the growth of bitcoin. The reason was not in direct contact. Now everything depends on the news background, which greatly affects the final price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Because I do not think that in the next year something will change - bitcoin will remain the king of cryptocurrencies.
Yes, I also think that this year the BTC is the winner. And usually if the price of BTC falls, then the price falls on other coins.
