Do you think current prices on the market for each cryptocurrency are largely attributed to events in the mainstream world? I've noticed that every time the stock market goes up, crypto goes down in price. The same thing happens vice versa. Even Facebook's Libra announcement, had a positive impact in crypto's price within the short term. I believe this shouldn't happen in the first place as crypto was meant to distance itself from the centralized world. Linking mainstream events to crypto, will result more harmful than good, in my own opinion. Crypto should be independent from whatever happens in the outside world. Once this is achieved, cryptocurrencies will be able to reach prices far beyond reach. At least, that's the way I see it. Maybe I'm wrong. But, if crypto is truly linked with events in the mainstream world, we could have an idea when it'll rise in price or when it'll fall.
What do you think?

Not exactly the stock market itself but something can affect the prices of some cryptocurrencies. Last December 2019, we have observed the decrease in the prices because many have sold their crypto for fiat. This has been linked to the holiday season as we people tend to be more expensive so they sold their crypto.
