Bitcoin prices dropped to make the altcoin price to be very low and even 500% lower than the price of ico, which makes many investors experience a lot of losses. not a few investors who become poor because of it. is it true that bitcoin affects the price of all altcoins

Unfortunately I am one of those people, this time last year I had so much money that it amounted to 10 times the minimum salary for a work I did in 10 days, right now I am working a whole month every single day without any day breaks and yet I am not making as much as minimum salary for the months work, I usually find some extra work thankfully and cover the difference and make a bit more but life became really hard when bitcoin fell.
I had some bitcoins but since I kept them as bitcoins they lost a lot of value and I lost a lot because of it. Now I have to grind harder and keep on making money and saving bitcoins in order to recover what I lost and get back on my feet. Bitcoin thankfully gathers everyone together like a tribe making world smaller so its easier to make money, while people are out there trying to make money with trading I have made more bitcoins thanks to working than many of them.
