....is their complete dependancy of Bitcoin. It really takes all the fun out of crypto trading.
No matter what kind of awesome progress some altcoins make....it doesn't change the trend upwards if Bitcoin doesn't allow it.
Pump and dump groups I also blame. Because of them I'm very positive that Bitcoin won't make it past 30 000 this year. 50 000 to 80 000 would be realistic without pump and dump groups dominating and controlling the prices.
Anyways, these things have to change somehow. The first altcoin developers who claim their absolute freedom from Bitcoin will be the real winners of this crypto game.
I am also so bored by pumps/dumps and just trading discussions.
Why no-one looks at the usability of tokens (altcoins). People should buy tokens in order to exchange it for the services provided by the token hoster in the future.
Token hoster company must reward such token buyers providing the biggest discounts. The great example of such approach is Kamagames token sale. This company provides token buyers with the ability to exchange tokens to the company's products with an astonishing bonus during the next 36 months.
