I don't know if you agree with me but if you are familiar with a gear shift you truly are. Understand what I mean. Gearshift is a device used to engage and disengage gears in any type of transmission of mechanism. Bitcoin in my opinion does the same in the crypto space. Whatever the performance of BTC  in the market also altcoins are affected. It is bitcoin that directs the market status which is good to some who are real and bad to that althat'shatise just there for nothing except for fraud motivation.
