Recently I have observed that for every pump or increase in price of bitcoin, there is no corresponding increase in the price of altcoins
Even though this causes a lot of people to worry, it is best as it prepares altcoins for self dependence and it also limits manipulation of altcoins
Soon enough both bitcoin and altcoins will be non dependent on one another totally
I wish the day had come when altcoins would no longer be dependent on bitcoin. But so far everything is interdependent. And we panic when we see bitcoin falling because altcoins are going down after it.
