So I am a newbie and I always had this question in my mind why all altcoins are backed with BTC because at times like these altcoins are the most affected one there are some really great altcoins out there but due to this correction we can see a massive drop in those coins and I don't think it is fair to other coins that because of only one single coin they also see a massive drop
I cannot understand why you think think that the alts are backed by Bitcoin, if you are talking about trading pair, then some of the coins have other trading pairs as well including ETH and other fiat currency trading pairs and whenever there is a correction in Bitcoin it does not mean that correction is pulling the entire market down, everyone else holding those alts are selling off their coins as well.
