Looks like you have to be careful in buying everything, I'm very afraid if you buy the wrong Altcoin. I see that this TALK token has not experienced a price increase and even the average price of TALK is around 0.00000001 BTC. The last transaction to buy TALK tokens was on February 25, 2022, I think this TALK token does not have a large community so not many people want to buy this TALK token.
Bitcoin will continue to have a huge influence on the price of altcoins because of its pioneering status. These days there are so many altcoins in the market that has a price which correlates with bitcoins price to an extent. There are also some altcoins in the market that in nowhere has any correlation with the price of Bitcoin. But, in general bitcoin continues to play a major role in influencing the market.
When investors wants to invest in the crypto-currency market, they start with bitcoin and then go over to invest in altcoins, and when the market starts to become bearish, all the investors turns back to bitcoin. Bitcoin is seen as the reserve currency of the cryptocurrency markets.
