Very strange thing i noticed: most people like to buy with bitcoin , but using altcoins very few
I think all clients i had from bitcointalk prefer to use bitcoin to buy services / products they needed ...
There is nothing strange because a lot of people are choosing to buy and sell with Bitcoin and abandon altcoins. Bitcoin brought that idea of peer-to-peer payment, and people have been making use of it before altcoins started coming up and with the same idea but claiming to have done it better. I don’t think anyone is interested in that.
Moreover, it is just like you have said, if you still decide to be making use of altcoins like Ethereum for making payments, you wouldn’t find anyone that will accept them as payment and you will still end up going back to using Bitcoin. So that’s how it is for others, they can’t find who is accepting altcoins, so they stick with Bitcoin because that’s what everyone uses.
It is obvious that BTC is calculated by those who do not have altcoins at their disposal. And this is due to the fact that altcoins have lost much more of their price than bitcoin.
Yes, bitcoin is trading around 50% down of its ATH whereas most altcoins are trading down by 90% of their respective ATH. I am also preferring to spend the coins which is not in losses by considering its bought or earned (from campaigns/bounties) prices. So, I guess most people are spending bitcoins by holding altcoins which are still valuing lower than bought prices.
