i don't know what on earth would trigger the bullrun in the alts. i think we have seen enough of this bloodbath there is about 8 month left in the bitcoin next block halving and still market condition is not improving. is there will be any improvement in the alts or they all will die
The market is down and we have not seen bull run from past year but there is little pump in the prices of altcoin but thats not significant and if we talk about survival of alts they can survive in long run only of the technology is developed and adoptipn is increased by the investors that can surge the prices but if they can't compete they are dead in that period.We have seen the downfall of alts but coins like XRP,LTC,ETH have potential to rise to level of btc dominamce in the market and we might hit price surges soon in the market by the end of 2019.
