hello friend,
in 2017 I was very happy when I saw the price of Bitcoin increase in coinmarketcap because when the price of Bitcoin increases, then the price of Altcoin will immediately increase too, but for now when the price of Bitcoin increases and it does not affect for the prices of Altcoin (even still down), then when the price of Bitcoin goes down and at that time the price of Altcoin will go down too, so I do not understand the current state of the market and what is happening right now.
Gone are the days when investors fill there bags with Alt when bitcoin price surges. Majority of Alts has proven to pump and dump. Investors want crypto assets that have real use cases and products. This aid the increase in price even without Bitcoin surge. The time has come for people to be careful with where they invest their money.
