I've noticed that Bitcoin's price continues to go down while many alternates are maintaining their values or going up. Yes some alternates do temporarily go down but the amount of change is negligible compared to how BTC used to be $1200 and now it's $380.

Note: I am not talking about just LTC (there are many many alternates outside the top 3. Some of these coins didn't even exist in 2013 and yet have capitalizations in the 10s of millions). There are likewise many new alternates with a capitalization in the millions which did not exist months ago.

At this rate it looks like alternates may hit $1 billion capitalization while Bitcoin's capitalization declines. Looks like people are using alternates as a hedge against Bitcoin losses.

this is in essence exactly what will happen - there are many precedents for a shift like (or similar to) this occurring.

it is a natural mechanism by which all systems re-balance.

a very simplistic look at it is "never use the first new Windows release."

i'd say "never use windows" but i'd be bathing myself in hypocrisy.

Hail windows source code !

It's fine man. They're skipping windows 9 and going straight to 10. They've effectively skipped their once every version is a bad release. Windows FTW!!!!
