I have recently been into altcoin trading. I just want to know, does the price of bitcoin affect the price of other cryptocurrencies as well? How? I really want to know. I have noticed that ever since the bitcoin price pumped up and reached 4,000 USD, the price of the altcoins had gone really really low. I almost lost my invesment due to this sudden drop. Does bitcoin price have something to do with this?
I think yes because bitcoin is the adaptation of other crypto, their basic feature is the same with each other, and most of the exchanges only trade altcoins with usd and bitcoin only.
