Bitcoin Forum

in these days bitcoin had a strong rise, but the other coins seem to be standing at the stake, is there a reason?
do you think that the whole market can be resumed? or will most of the altcoins fail in these months? sorry for my english=)

If you look back at previous market trends, when bitcoin is marking strong positive gains then the Alt market stays stagnant or possibly even declines. This is because money pours into bitcoin in order to make the short term gains that a strong move offers. There was a very big move out of alts and into bitcoin leading up to the bitcoin gold fork. Then when bitcoin was rocketing in Nov & Dec 17 alt coins were bleeding satoshis as everyone wanted in on the parabolic movement of bitcoin. Then when bitcoin starts to consolidate money pours into alt coins and they start making big moves. This happened around mid Dec 2017.

I think that bitcoin taking such a hit has dulled faith for the fringes of investors and it will take some time in the green to see that money coming back into the crypto market.

In short - When bitcoin starts to move sideways load up on the alts because they will start to rocket.

I'm in this world from a recent time but I have understand one thing, Bitcoin is the Leader of coins.
IF Bitcoin goes +100% all market will rise, if Bitcoin does -50% all market will crush.
IF (put random name) coin does +100% market will be stable.

So yeah when bitcoin increase the value of almost everycoin will increase!
Also remember good news can change the market, today we got almost a confirm for SouthKorea will not ban Bitcoin (probably bitcoin will gain, also altcoin)

Bitcoin is easier to access and has more merchants, exchanges, hardware, and software to support it.Bitcoin is significantly more liquid, with a much larger market cap than any altcoin. It possesses the biggest developer ecosystem and attracts the majority of business people who create startups around it and put a lot of physical efforts, dedication, intellect, and creativity in order to make it better and more useful

altcoin need bitcoin price high, and stabe price
if bitcoin price is high, and stabe all altcoin can the moon

Previously, when bitcoin skyrocketed altcoins declines. But during the December peak, bitcoin market flourished so I don't agree that the trend follow bitcoin. Times has changed now, no more altcoin is down because bitcoin is going up.

We have set of new buyers willing to go in any time now. Plus most investors are really for the long haul that's why I don't see any movement of funds going to bitcoin to altcoin or vice versa.

So even if bitcoin goes up, chances are some altcoins specially in the top ten will go up as well, from my own view.

With a few exceptions, altcoins largely trade in lockstep with Bitcoin. When Bitcoin is thriving, alts are thriving. When Bitcoin is crashing, alts are crashing. This may be because so much of the trading volume of alts is denominated in Bitcoin, so market cap as a function of trading volume by definition means that the value of alts falls as Bitcoin falls. However, it is also likely that when money flees Bitcoin, it also flees altcoins and isn't solely a function of being denominated in btc.

thank's everibody fot the answers, it's really important for me understand the market's movement, everything changes quickly, and being caught unprepared is a risk that can not be rushed

There is a lot of difference between bitcoin and another coin. bitcin above all the coin. All the coin's price depends on this bitcoin

Both Bitcoin and altcoin have their own strengths and weaknesses and I think that if possible investors should invest in both to reduce the risk and increase profits. Bitcoins are usually less risky because they have the greatest stability and community, but the profits are not so great, while altcoin investments are riskier because they do not have a large enough population but opportunities to get a huge profit.

Investors are selling altcoin to invest in Bitcoin. Just like in 2017, when the price of Bitcoin increases, the price of altcoin drops. And when the price of Bitcoin drops, the price of altcoin increases

We're on the weekend and take notice of that it can be another coincidence that during these days, the market starts to become red. It's on red but it doesn't mean it's falling, bitcoin was $6,600 yesterday and right now it's red but the price is still the same. And I don't think that this will lead the market to fail for the upcoming months, we are in a speculative market and what everyone speculates by the end of the year is we're going to be healthier than these past months.

For me altcoin and bitcoin are almost the same, when the price of bitcoin increase altcoin price will high too, because altcoins are made in bitcoin blockchain,dont worry when the price gets down actually its a opportunity to buy more and hold until the price increase again.

If you can really see through everything from the early stage then you might see that all of the coins have grown already and would grow even further after this small dip.

At the moment I think I should invest in bitcoin. At present the market is going down so much so investing in bitcoin will be a safe choice.

I really agree with you, altcoin follow bitcoin price.
if bitcoin rises automatically then altcoin will also go up. and vice versa.
so the price determinant of crypto coin is BITCOIN. it all depends on bitcoin.

altcoin was born after the bitcoin they developed based on the platform and application of bitcoin technology they have some improvement points than bitcoin in some certain aspects

When the BTC rises, the price of altcoin against the BTC exchange rate will also fall. When the price of BTC falls, the price of altcoin will also drop sharply.

That’s a good decision for you to take the safer path in investing to bitcoin and not in altcoin as a starter.. But look for ethereum or any alternative cryptocurrency that has potential or have supports that is huge enough that will ensure your profits..

The market now is slightly higher than a week before and the probability of its bull run will slowly coming..

Bitcoin and altcoin both are good for investment, the price of bitcoin will affect the price of altccoin also. At present investing in bitcoin is very good. Now the price starts to increase so we expect the price of some altcoins also increase. Not all altcoins fall but some have growth due to rise of bitcoin price. Today the market is in green the price of bitcoin increase little. If this rise will continue its very happy for bitcoin users.

A sade choice probably if you won't have to sell anytime soon. Actually, any of the top alts works the same. If you're willing to wait out bear trends then btc or alts would either be a good choice.

Bitcoin has no competitors as it is the most popular and powerful one. I think that alcoins are the coins of the past and they aren't worth attention. I think that btc is the best investment and I am sure that it will remain like this

Many altcoins are now struggling to gain market and popularity and there are many of them but bitcoin is the pioneer coin which has achieved worldwide recognition. So to be simple bitcoin is famous than any altcoin in the cryptocurrency world.

There is a slight increase in bitcoin prices in recent days but altcoin prices are only a few that follow the rise in bitcoin prices but there are also some altcoins that remain unchanged even there is altcoin that goes down, whereas these bitcoin prices dictate other altcoin prices but currently different I also I do not know why

Some people like to invest in the altcoin market and vice versa. Some people like to invest in a bitcoin environment, which is their view and preference. We should respect and support them more.

Guys can you help me to know what is bitcoin and altcoin. I want to know more about them

I believe the natural place to be for Bitcoin is around 80% of marketcap share dominance, and this will eventually come as the altcoin bubble pops, because clearly, the utility of the altcoins out there is near 0 except a very reduced number, and this is not sustainable, it is for a while, inasmuch a Madoff scheme is sustainable, but eventually tower of cards will collapse and said cards don't disappear, they will be put into the Bitcoin box making it around 80%.

This does not mean you should stop looking for good altcoins. Even after all the scams I've been through, I still dedicate some time to altcoin research. It's only a matter of time we see something good coming other than Bitcoin related improvement proposals.

You should always invest in both the things. Why should you restrict investing in only one coin when you know that nothing can be guaranteed in one coin. So always choose the best of the coins and invest accordingly and get benefits.

Bitcoin and altcoin are two basics which you need to know if you think about making crypto as your hobby or income, more about this you could find on youtube where people are explaining those words as easy as it is possible.

Some people like to invest in bitcoin and some people like to invest in altcoins. I think both are good for long term investments. We already know that bitcoin will have bright future, the profit will be more while investing in bitcoin. At the same time altcoins are also good to invest. But we  have to choose the right coins. Check the recent growth of the coins in the coinmarketcap and select the coins with high potential and promising coins. And invest on those coins surely you will get the profit. Better you divide your and investment in to both bitcoin and altcoins.

Both Bitcoin and Altcoin are valuable but in different circumstances and place. Bitcoin is old experienced then that of Altcoin and bitcoin has larger community and popularity then that of Altcoin. Bitcoin blockchain technologies make it number in cryptocurrency rankings. 90% cryptocurrency begging start their cryptocurrency carrier with bitcoin because of its price and popularity. Altcoin are also develop but they are still in developing condition. they are not as much as upgraded like bitcoin and their market price is also low then that of bitcoin.

I don't think so this is the case. Only some alts which are just pump and dump coins are at stake. Good potential alts are still standing strong with Bitcoin.
Today while Bitcoin showed a 3.76% increase, Ethereum gained 5.69% which is much more than the pioneer. Infact alts like Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero have much better successful projects than bitcoin and also have more unique features. Litecoin has a better blockchain and Monero being completely anonymous, is more secure in making transactions. Bitcoin however has a first mover advantage and is considered as a brand for the cryptos.

Right. Perhaps a good 60-80% bitcoin dominance will be a fair estimate. That's why market cap is not really a good measurement specially for alt coins in terms of its real value in the market. Most of the time is it pump beyond believe and then bitcoin dominance falls back. But if you are going to look at it, doesn't really makes sense for a coin to be pumped above 100% and gaining dominance and then the next day it collapses.


Yes, we shouldn't stop looking for one because there's some coins who has really some purpose and could potentially grow the price. Unlike those pump-and-dump coins whose value goes artificially.

Altcoin will follow bitcoin if bitcoin’s price rise then altcoin’s will go up, if bitcoin dropped then so does with altcoin, but if altcoin’s price is at the bottom and bitcoin’s price decreases more then altcoin won’t have price.

bitcoin today has a very good development, where the price will go up and very strong. Similarly, coin coin the other (altcoin). It is caused by more and more people who know with bitcoin, so many people are looking to get it.

altcoin has its own investors, and price changes will occur when traders start playing their prices, so yes atlcoin sustains its own price, and also requires bitcoin prices to rise.

some altcoin decreases when bitcoin prices rise, but most altcoin prices also rise when bitcoin prices rise. bitcoin has a very strong influence on altcoin prices.

Bitcoin has shown signs of recovery, which is a good sign for bitcoin and for the market although not much increase.
The market will continue to grow believe and altcoin as they bring us economy.

Bitcoin rebounded slightly in the last three days after a sharp drop in the week. Bitcoin is the current number one, and no currency can replace bitcoin at this time and in the future.

Increased bitcoin will be followed by other currencies that increase in the same way as altcoin. Increasing Bitcoin is a very good sign for investors after a sharp drop. There are many who say, "Bitcoin will rise sharply by the end of 2018" as it did in 2017.

Bitcoin is still the most hopeful currency for present and future. Altcoin is just the currency of the past, now most of the concern is bitcoin because there will be nothing to replace the current bitcoin, bitcoin is the main profit in the world of Cryptocurrency.

Altcoin will not be able to compare with bitcoin because bitcoin is the current hegemon, after bitcoin also has ETH and other currencies. The altcoin is old, it will not be worth the bitcoin. I still believe bitcoin.

What do you mean that the altcoin is old? i think bitcoin is the oldest coin in cryptocurrencies.
But well yeah altcoin still doesnt have the chance to compete bitcoin, most of people only know that cryptocurrency is just about bitcoin.

It can go back to the up trend. Going up and down or sideway is just the market's sake.
It basically has intervals when it goes all the way down. Some other times it goes all the way up. We just have to wait until it gets to the right interval.

Many coins. Are dying now and some have died already because of the dip market and as i believe this continues for another months or years some speculation is the unstable market will be up for until 2020 and the bull will come and starts a run

Resuming of the whole market is impossible but there will be growth for the top coins specially bitcoin and this is for real,so keep the patience and wait for this

no one can predict about it, bitcoin itself is also currently fluctuating.
if BTC remains like this, chances are altcoin prices also can not be stable.

I think the coin that is still awake in the business of earning is bitcoin because the majority of altcoins often follow in their footsteps so traders should be able to take advantage of the current conditions to buy as much bitcoin as possible in order to open up great opportunities in achieving success

You want to invest in altcoin or bitcoin if you have the economic condition you should invest in bitcoin the altcoin is coming out but it will have improvements as well as it will make the bitcoin market more complete.

Invest in bitcoin and next the altcoin that can grow in the market. So when their is uptrend in bitcoin the good project which is altcoin can increase. The whole market would still alive so their is buying and sell even price down it would rise.

Just like the Bitcoin Altcoin is also responsive towards us as we use it in order to make profit with it. Bitcoin gives us more possible profit while Altcoin is less valuable that is why it makes less profit. However both investments are in benefit so we can make a portfolio as well which will cover everything happens in these two businesses. Now days the Bitcoin market is looking more favorable so we can use it for long term.

Well, Bitcoin is the forst of it's kind so the novelty is still there. I believe the developers are still making projects every year for Bitcoin and investors pour out to it. But alt coins are young but have great potential. They just neex to have alot of projects. Mote projects means more applications for their coins. Morr applications.means more people could use the coin rather than just holding.

Although altcoin was born after bitcoin, the speed of development was great and they had a variety of different coin types for investors to choose to invest in a more diversified market.

Just like bitcoin, altcoins were struggling In dropping their value, but later or sooner It will recover once some problem that they had encounter will be fixed, throughout their effort to promote their coins.

I do not agree with your opinion. In fact, if the price of Bitcoin increase, the price of altcoin will decrease. Because everyone sells altcoin and buys Bitcoin while Bitcoin prices are rising

Hmm,interesting story.Do you know what is bitcoin and altcoin?

Bitcoin is the first ever crypto was created and the altcoins means the other all crypto currencies other than bitcoin was named as altcoins but there is no relation between each and other coins in terms of values.Each coin hold value depends on their demand level.

for us altcoin price also depends on the price of bitcoin, so I think if bitcoin value is higher then altcoin price also grow better, so I believe that altcoin and bitcoin are also good ways that we can get.

Every crypto user knows that investing in Bitcoin and altcoin is good but comparing to bitcoin to other altcoin then Bitcoin is a good investment. For short time you can invest in altcoin which is going to boost but at the end you have to sell in profit and convert it to bitcoin. So altcoin is nothing but earning more bitcoin through it.

You can see that the market in recent days has been fluctuating continuously and at the present time it can be seen that bitcoin and altcoin prices are continuously increasing in recent days, the market is showing signs of strong recovery. And you can easily trade to get a profit. I believe the bitcoin price will be able to continue to increase in the next few days and you can rest assured the transaction.

I think both bitcoins and altcoins are moving relatively because the movement of other cryptocurrency and dependent on the bitcoin and as i notice everytime bitcoin the market of bitcoin will drops other crypto is also dropping.

You can see that both bitcoin and altcoin prices are on the upward trend, with bitcoin prices climbing. Prices for altcoin are also rebounding strongly. last day I think at the moment you can buy bitcoin and trade altcoin without worrying about the bitcoin price will drop. Bitcoins are gaining momentum and may hit US $ 7200 in coming days.

All Altcoin depend on Bitcoin, Altcoin waiting for Bitcoin to go up to get to the moon. That means all Altcoin prices depend on one coin, namely Bitcoin.

No much worry about it.

Altcoins depends primarily on Bitcoin so having some increases these past few days will be a good news to altcoin because the chance for them to make a recovery is getting bigger. I hope this is the start of the recovery of crypto market so that many people will invest not only in bitcoin but on altcoins as well because they see the development crypto market putting to make this recovery faster. So I'm hoping for this fast recovery and more developments to be made to make a comeback for crypto market.

I think that should take a little bit of time so that other currencies began to grow at their own price. Although there is such a proposition that a lot of them may even drop to 0.

The reason's that there has been a balance between the number of sellers and the number of buyers made by two communities with different goals, the first community expecting existence recovery of bitcoin prices by buying and holding, while the second community expects bitcoin prices to go down by throw away the bitcoin they have so they can buy lower bitcoins later. For me, this's familiar and will happen to the next years, but in the end the market will still win even better than before. So, we must be patient when the conditions of decline continue to hit the market, we must believe in the greatness of the popularity of bitcoin and altcoin. In essence, if you want to win in this game, take advantage of the situation that is with the best of it.

Right.Bitcoin price can bee seen today as it is vitually increasing its price and hopefully,since altcoins are dependent on the price of bitcoins,then we can expect that cryptos will go to the moon in the next days.As bearish trend will be over,then we can see already our investments growing knowing that bull run is about to start.

And to prove that this is correct, take a look at the Coinmarketcap now.

This is a beautiful scenery that every holder wants to see and just because of bitcoin has been pumped today, all of the alts are also green. There are few of them that are struggling and going opposite position but majority of them are healthy and green.

 Market price of Bitcoin is stable even with market movement, while the price value of ALT coin are unpredictable with the price movement. there's a lot of indicators, that affects the market price of all the crypto coins posted on the market. I am still optimistic that Bitcoin will have great future in this crypto currency digital transaction, it's already started to good footing for the next bull run in the market.

Its all because the other coins are becoming too much in the system. Where ever you find yourself, there is a project somewhere. There is no regulation of projects and so, everyone can just carry out any project at all and produce shit coins to be listed on the exchange. But bitcoin is well established, people really understand the coin very well and its potentials. That is why it turns to do well in price than altcoins.

Bitcoin and altcoin are good combination in terms of investing and not in just bitcoin or even in just altcoin. You need to balance your investing and you need to get the benefits of them both in order to not regret for not getting the profit or the benefit or another one and so on. It is all about diversifying and having a positive mindset.

Which coins in particularly? 🤔 There are some altcoins that goes up when the price of Bitcoin goes up too, just like Ethereum, XRP, and Bitcoin Cash. But this is a normal case with altcoins, whenever the price of Bitcoin is going up, not all of them do follow up, rather they even reduce in price rate.

I believe the reason this happens is because investors withdraw their money from those altcoins to invest in Bitcoin and also participate as the price goes up.

BTC and altcoin should be invested separately. 70% of funds invest in altcoin and 30% invest in BTC. This investment portfolio is quite good.

The alt coins which do not offer anything new or unique will die. But coins like monero which give additional feature like anonymity will stay.

I think, now is a good time for bitcoin  to increase the price. on the other hand maybe altcoin will also grow like bitcoin because I believe altcoin will follow the growth of bitcoin

Bitcoin has shown its potential and strength many times in the past and you are right that price movement is its general factor which depends upon its demand. If you all need a high price then why people sell in low market which makes the price do more down so this is totally our of mind.

Price of Bitcoin will only recover when its demand rate increases like it happened in the past. Similarly Altcoin also acts according to its demand so both are good but the Bitcoin is still better than all.

Now we can see lots of altcoins disappeared, now thousands and thousands new altcoins were born and they aim to be replacement of Bitcoin and we see they're pump and dump. If they want to be recognized by the world, just show what they can do and what field they aim to make innovation than the others, maybe it's called its own value then the price we can see on the market

Altcoin is a coin favorable for short term investment so we can use it for short term investment in order to get quick profit but it is cleared that the profit will be lesser as compared to other valuable coins. Bitcoin is favorable for long term investment as it is more valuable and its profit id higher than all the other coins as they are lesser valuable than the Bitcoin so the current time is best for investment in the Bitcoin.

if I like bitcoin, because bitcoin's income is a lot, there is a lot of bitcoin enthusiasts, until whenever I will still choose bitcoin to work

Bitcoins and altcoins is both profitable but the growth of the coin will always be depending on the market's volatility and how you are going to trade in order to earn more profit.

For long time, people knew different things about bitcoin and altcoin. Some say, this wouldn’t be equal to one another and some say they are dependent. But what the reality is, we really don’t know. Even recently, I was reading something and there was a confusion over dependency of bitcoin and altcoin. But whatever they are, both are amazing and making a huge impact on human life.

Crypto currencies are the best platform for best investment. Investing in bitcoin will certainly bring a good profits and certainly altcoin as well. Split your investment into few parts and choose the best coins after analyzing from coinmarketcap.com. Investing in multiple coins will certainly bring good turn over rather than sticking with one coin. This is a wise moment as well. The crypto currencies are expected to grow this year very well as like 2017 though the first half was very calm.

When bitcoin rise and have a bull run basically other altcoins are pumping due of bitcoin pulled out other altcoin prices but today bitcoin had a low price in the market and so other altcoins falls also, But I assume that market will rise again these coming months and I predicted it will occur by the fourth quarter of this year.

I believe that altcoins can actually fail if bitcoins will fail as well because all the altcoins has base price of ethereum which is tether to bitcoins so every coin in the market every time that bitcoins is dumping.

I dont think that cryptocurrency is the best investment platform because the market is volatile and you cannot always earn profits but investing in cryptocurrency is better rather than placing your money on the banks.

do not worry about this, altcoin is currently preparing to pump.
however, it waits for the stable bitcoin price first.

The price of bitcoin was in little growth last week. But this week again it goes to down. This price fluctuation normally affects altcoin price also, if bitcoin price falls automatically altcoin price also down. So better you can invest in bitcoin it will be more profit. In future surely the bitcoin price will have huge growth. At that time altcoin price also increase so you have to hold and wait for long time.

Bitcoin price grew a little and became stable, so it's normal for Altcoin price to go down, since most people must have sold their alts to buy bitcoin. Most people think that it will be a start of another bull-market, so most are sitting tightly with their bitcoin. Just be patient, panic and you will lose your money.

The market price is based on supply and demand so obviously there are more investors of bitcoins this following days since the market price is slowly increasing again.

I am buying backed by real project and with real usage .They are representing value to me
Even if price is going down they recover and always is some volume on them
Now with that volatile market price is moving in 50% frame so it is even good opportunity to make some money from trading

 Bitcoin and ALT coin for investment? this are just my own opinion, Bitcoin is number one among all ALT coin, Price Value may goes ups but not with the same price increase on ALT coin as posted in the market, Some analysis as posted or even on the news say's it is the shift of investment on Bitcoin by the investors. not to mention that Market is Volatile, anything can happen at any given time.

I too had the same question when I was a newbie. :)
BTC and Altcoins have an inverted connection. when Bitcoin price rises altcoin price falls down. I think what happens it people sell altcoins and buy bitcion when bitcoin price rices. when bitcoin gets sideway then altcoin price increase rapidly. this is what I experienced in the crypto market in last 2 years.

Fail means that they'll be out of the market and no more volume for those coins. But some are using it with another meaning.

Fail = crash / fall

And the market never been paused so why would it need to resume? Many altcoins will fail like those new ICOs that are building their coin because there's not much support on it.

You can see that today bitcoin prices are constantly adjusting and falling sharply, which has led to altcoin prices continue to fall deeper, the market is in recession and most of the code is red. Therefore, I believe that at this point you should not trade, but wait and see how the bitcoin price will be adjusted to make the decision to trade.

Bitcoin price is determined by the news around us. The worst the news is, the more the price in bitcoin falls. What I have realized is that people buy bitcoin when the price is low and when it starts to rise, they start selling in bits to take off their profit and now start investing in altcoins which makes the coins to go high.

I think it was fall down beacause the price of the bitcoin was fall down and specially many bad news are in the news so many newbie would panic to sell their coin because they are afraid on what happen on the coin that they purchase and the cut their losses.

I think the best Bitcoin to invest in and I'm sure in the future it will remain that way. Many altcoins are currently struggling to gain market share and popularity as Bitcoin, but I think it is impossible. No competitor can beat Bitcoin. However, your opinion is absolutely correct

You can see that after a long correction at $ 8200 level, at the current time bitcoin has returned to its bear market when it has fallen to $ 7,500. The market is very bleak, bitcoin prices reduce the price of altcoin continues to decline further. So I think that at this point you should stay out of the market and wait for the bitcoin price to stabilize to plan the investment.

You shouldn't trade if you don't want to cut loss and you are in loss.

Despite of having that situation, you can buy and add more and more to your portfolio. This is what most of the investors are doing.

If the market falls, keep on buying.

This was an old topic but it happened again for the past week wherein btc from $6.5k to $8.5k however altcoins didn't follow like the usual way. What I like to see is the same last year wherein all coins are pumping that it is hard to find which coin to invest in  :)

Nowadays it is very hard to predict when bull market will start and I really admire those traders who still earn in this kind of situation as I am not into trading I only buy and hold for long term.

Atlcoin is a replacement for Bitcoin because it has improved and addressed the weaknesses of the Bitcoin virtual currency protocol. This is a digital currency created to replace Bitcoin. Option 2 for investors

Bitcoin has more value than alt coins people use it for long term investing they never sell them which makes its price increase or stable.While alt coins is just use for trade but not all alt coins.

Altcoin is an alternative to Bitcoin because it improves and addresses the disadvantages of the Bitcoin protocol. This is the currency created for the purpose of replacing Bitcoin. The success of the Bitcoin P2P peer-to-peer digital network is the precursor to the creation of today's Altcoin. Although for the purpose of replacing bitcoin but now, bitcoin is taking the highest proportion of all.

All altcoin is dependent on bitcoin and bitcoin is the head of all altcoin. If in the market trading ratios bitcoin’ price is increasing then altcoin will also increase and vice versa. So no matter how good altcoin is, still the price will remain below the bitcoin’s price.

I believe that there is no other coin that will level up bitcoin. Price of altcoin is still below of bitcoin even the price pumps or dumps. Bitcoin and altcoin have their own functionality along the market. I can say that now matter how huge bitcoin going to decrease, the price still higher on other crypto that makes it superior among them no matter what happened on its price.

With a couple of exemptions, altcoins to a great extent exchange lockstep with Bitcoin. At the point when Bitcoin is flourishing, alts are flourishing. At the point when Bitcoin is smashing, alts are slamming. This might be on the grounds that such a large amount of the exchanging volume of alts is designated in Bitcoin, so showcase top as an element of exchanging volume by definition implies that the estimation of alts falls as Bitcoin falls. In any case, it is additionally likely that when cash escapes Bitcoin, it likewise escapes altcoins and isn't exclusively an element of being named in btc.

4 coin will fail in 2018:
Verge (XVG)
VeChain (VEN)
Bitcoinnect (BCC)
Waltonchain (WTC
If you want to ask what's hot this month: the answer is Bitcoin.

Of course, if there's coins that already stomp bitcoin then we are all out on that coin. But altcoins also gives us some incentives as well. If you are not new on the game then you can make a decent money from the pump-and-dump method. But all of us prefer bitcoin specially for the long haul, because its proven already that it can make us a lot by just holding on. With that said, let's take advantage of both market and see make adjust as we see fit.

The rising time of counterfeit coin is certainly very small. Most of the time, BTC is on the rise, altcoin's price is on the decline, and counterfeit coin is only for making more BTC.

The prices of the market depend on many factors, and most of the influence is from people’s minds. The society’s attitude towards crypto literally changes things.

According to my observation and little bit experience, most of the times altcoins value is dependent on Bitcoin value. If BTC is going down then overall market will be going down. But there are some altcoins that does not follow the movements of BTC. For example THE ABYSS token, LEDU token, LOC token they are not going down with downward movement of BTC. Especially decline that happened yesterday and today does not affected these tokens.

Maybe if I think bitcoin and altcoin will still be victorious at the moment, but it's only a matter of time, and we are patient enough.

Bitcoins will be always at the top but altcoins can still pumps up when bitcoins go down and that is the reason why bitcoins will never loose its edge on the market.

I believe so.Having them as our investments are both good but i think altcoins are only good for long-term investments so you have to be patient in holding them.Bitcoins on the other hand may be good for long term or short term investments right now depending on how you look at the market price.

There are still plenty of opportunities for altcoins to compete with bitcoin, even though the bitcoin market is increasingly attractive because the price is soaring but altcoin also continues to grow following the price of bitcoin. If a coin-making company is consistent and has a good team and marketing that can attract people, it is possible that the coin can compete with bitcoin.

Altcoins are indeed the most favorable coins when it comes to that of the short-term investment of the money as there are so many good coins like that of ripple, Eth etc. which comes under the category of the altcoins. However, there is no such way that we can compare any of the altcoin with the bitcoin as bitcoin is the most powerful and most demanding coin in the entire market.

All coins fails from december 2017 ,no matter if bitcoin and alternative coins everyone decreases prices hugely

And struggling to get over atleast even a half from the hype

Theres no other reason than the volatility,and the governments actions towards this community things that we need to accept amd use as material to find profiteering

I will always support the Bitcoin forum, because I have been working on the Bitcoin forum for a long time, and many of the Bitcoin coins I collected, until whenever I will work on bitcoin.

For one thing, bitcoin is the first of its kind and people want to be part of its rise even though it's already expensive as it is. Many alt coins are fairly new and just survived their ICO stage and into its blockchain stage. People don't usually look into these coins simply because it is dirt cheap and they don't see the potential in them.

crypto market is like a chain, they have dependency on one another, bitcoin and altcoin although different blockchain but the market clan between the two cover up between up and down fill the movement of market dynamics

the development of altcoins or their derivatives has been overwhelming, namely new tokens and ICOs whose manifestations vary according to fields but upgrading from bitcoin itself is still relatively minimal but from both prices bitcoin still dominates and is fairly stable

And this is amazing because we all anticipated that our alternative cryptocurrency portfolio would gain few times, and it appears to be falling and falling I have already lost more than 50% of the things I had, if I would sell off course.

I think traders tend to take advantage of the existence of bitcoin as a means of income so that altcoin can not experience rapid development and the exchange rate tends to decline in a relatively long period.

Bitcoin has been moving slow and every month or two we see a little increase as it jumps from a thousand market price to another thousand, just like it did now by going from $6ooo to $7ooo+. We don’t know if this year is going to be the same as of last year, we don’t know if price is going to rise or fall, this market is just unpredictable and all people can do is to guess what the price is likely to be and not what it will be exactly. And we all already know that there is a higher chance for price to go up before the end of the year.

Good altcoin must be success in market and peoples must be investing their money on this project. Bitcoin dominant right now at 47.4% and I think altcoin have big space to grow but i am believe its need more time

When there are lots of people doing the same thing others are likely to join them too. You already know that majority carries the vote in this kind of thing, when many withdraws m, the rest will lose and when many invest the price will go grow. And traders tend to switch to Bitcoin when the price is about to grow, they will all just dump altcoins and go for BTC which is why altcoins tends to decrease in price when BTC is rising.

Bitcoin have more value than alt coins. It might be possible due to the decreasing of bitcoin price people start investing in alt coins which case other coins start rising.Now bitcoin is pumping people leaving alt and buying bitcoins.

Most people who are well knowledgeable about how the cryptocurrency works are those people who can take advantage about the market situation right now but those new in this industry will probably lose their coins due to panicking.

Indeed there is no way to keep an altcoin on top position as compared to the bitcoin. Bitcoin was first and whatever came out later on was just copy of few codes and new ideas. However most of them came out as money making machine coins, some of them came as idea which eventually dropped out of the market and now some of them are there with huge market just because many more other coins are being coded on them.
So altcoins can be weaker at anytime and thats why choosing bitcoin gives me more reasons.

generally altcoins follow bitcoin. the dominant character of the market is bitcoins. I think that is why bitcoin gives confidence to the crypto money world.

Right. Based on the same Blockchain technology, the nature of Bitcoin and altcoin formation is similar. But an electronic currency has different functions. Therefore, the value of Bitcoin and Altcoin should not be compared. Each currency has different values ​​and meanings. But nowadays, the trend of investors is towards the new altcoin formed. Perhaps they think it is more profitable.

Yes it is common when people realize that bitcoin price is trading stable they divert their investment from bitcoin to some other places, but I think that in currency time bitcoin price is already trading low therefore I do not think that they going to withdraw their investment from bitcoin and put it in some other altcoin, because bitcoin price is already trading low.

Most people try to compare altcoins to Bitcoin and they begin to analyze how rises in Bitcoin price affects altcoins. I  have come to realize that increase in bitcoin price positively affects the alts on the market.

Since crypto currencies are same as stock market more we buy more the market increase and effect its price.There's no difference between bitcoin and alt coin's price its depends which coin we buy.

Bitcoin and altcoin may affect each other’s price sometimes. But not each time. Actually, there are way more than one reason which may change it.
For example: significant investments in some particular currency; approval/prohibition by the government; software updates; the influence of media. So we always need to be careful and watch the charts.

I like to deal with bitcoin and stellar coin. I started with the investment into these coins not long ago and I have made a whole lot of projects from this investment. I am currently planning to diverse into other alts so as to get more profit in the latter days ahead. 

I think the altcoin cryptocurrency must be made to have in common with bitcoin which must be remembered here is that the most important bitcoin role in cryptocurrency is like altcoin like precious metals that can be exchanged in the form of bitcoin.

Many amount different coin in market right now and its more than 1600 different coin/token. I am believe there will be many coin/token not able to survive in market because too many choice to invest. Most investor must be looking on 200 top coin in market and good altcoin with working product. Most altcoin right now drop more than 90% from highest price but if that altcoin have good product, i am believe that altcoin will recover the price

Altcoin right now drop more than 90% from highest price but if that altcoin have good product, i am believe that altcoin will recover the price.altcoins largely trade in lockstep with Bitcoin. When Bitcoin is thriving, alts are thriving. When Bitcoin is crashing, alts are crashing. This may be because so much of the trading volume of alts is denominated in Bitcoin, so market cap as a function of trading volume by definition means that the value of alts falls as Bitcoin falls.

Bitcoin is the first crypto so it is always a price reference for all altcoins, it must be admitted that the thing that makes bitcoin grow rapidly is because of altcoins, crypto trading certainly requires each other namely bitcoin and altcoins.

altcoin was born after bitcoin but altcoin has many improvements and they are based on the basis of bitcoin and blockchain technology and they are being invested by investors.

Bitcoin is like walking on its own without bringing its children (altcoin) but i see that bitcoin will be corrected in depth and it will turn altcoin to try to leave bitcoin in but the percentage value but not by the value of bitcoin.

Bitcoin is still the most hopeful currency for present and future. altcoin was born after bitcoin but altcoin has many improvements. altcoin still doesnt have the chance to compete bitcoin, most of people only know that cryptocurrency is just about bitcoin.

if that means it can be concluded that bitcoin and altcoin have prices that are directly proportional, but what still makes me confused is whether when altcoins have many investors where the investor was originally from bitcoin but switched to altcoin does the price remain proportional?

I choose them both because bitcoin and altcoin is the same.I choose them both because its the same for me because this two of this is include in bitcoin they are like a one work so that both of them is important in this work.

All depend on certain situation. We all see that right now it is better to trade on any cryptocurrency with a US dollar. But of course I also have own protfolio, but it mainly consists of Bitcoin, Ethereum and about 15% another altcoins from Top-20.

It depends not only Bitcoin can raise their status in the market but the developers of the coin could really change the price of the altcoin the community of the coins should make lots of advertisement and good news to rise its price and they must notice them by the whales.

Currently the entire crypto market is in the bearish trend. Bitcoin looks a little stronger than other altcoins and moreover bitcoin even showed a small uptrend not so long ago. Having looked at the chart of bitcoin or ethereum everybody can make sure that the current year is absolutely bearish. So, while I do not see any objective reasons to talk that something has been changed in the better way. I just may agree that bitcoin is slashing much less than ethereum but actually bitcoin is till in the downtrend. It is probably that the current year is the worst for the crypto market because I do not think that something will be changed in the better way for the next several months.
I heard opinion that whales specially boosted the crypto market to mesh and to catch retail investors who bought on the highs. I do not know whether it is tru or not but I can see that the market is in the deep downtrend and there are almost no attractive altcoins which would be interesting for investing or speculating. And it is not my fictional opinion because we can look at the most popular altcoin I mean, of course, ethereum. I remember that many analysts told not so long ago that ethereum would be 2000-2500$. Let us have a look at the current prices of ethereum and we can see just 300$ and the strong downtrend. If really, the crypto market in the current time is very weak and I even cannot suppose when it will be turned on the south to grow again.

You have a great investment strategy.  Anything outside the top 20 is extremely risky, a lot of good altcoins in the top 100 are down over 90 percent which is very alarming.  Never keep your money in tether as well because it can implode at anytime. 

I would invest 5-10 percent max of my funds in these type of high risk coins.

The movement of Cryptocurrencies are simple, their dependency is considered the price of BTC itself if bitcoin raise the rest (altcoins) will follow
or vice versa. but in some cases, we found the value of the altcoins more resist of BTC's volatile. the value falls but to the worst point.
we were going to prove whether the whole market will be resumed or reset to the first point. we talked about the future
so optimism is a must to posses for every crypto holder based on their judgment about cryptocurrencies existence.

Dividing a few percent of our investment will indeed safeguard the security from much greater losses. Choosing some coins that are safe and also partly allocated for coins that have a high risk is the right choice. Taking small profits safely and then taking advantage of risky ways will make us get a much better chance. We will be given to choose and divide the parts that we think are the best so that it will produce good results.

in my opinion this all depends on the existence of bitcoin prices when bitcoin has good news that can trigger an increase in the price of bitcoin then the price of altcoin will also be very expensive so don't be afraid of the conditions of bitcoin prices.

As my monitoring in the long time, the trend of Bitcoin and altcoin: If the bitcoin price is low, all altcoin is low because investors sell altcoin and buy bitcoin that make the Dominance of Bitcoin >45%. And when the bitcoin price is high, altcoin will increase the price and reach the peak when bitcoin sideway at the high price.

You can see that the price of bitcoin in recent days has been steadily decreasing and is currently adjusting around the $ 6000 level. According to my analysis, bitcoin prices will probably continue to fall further, as At this time, I believe you should stay out of the market and restrict transactions. Decreased bitcoin prices will result in lower altcoin prices, so you should not buy altcoin.

If we see on coinmarketcap, bitcoin domination rising and reach more than 50% market cap value. Most altcoin drop the price because bitcoin price decreasing. Most altcoin price affecting because bitcoin and indeed investing on bitcoin is much safer than altcoin

Do not know what will happen next, now the price of bitcoin is in the range of $5.9k, if the price continues to fall below $5k do you still buy and hold bitcoin? Concerned by the collapse of the market this time made many people lose their confidence in crypto.

everyone will definitely choose bitcoin, because bitcoin has been attracted by many people and also bitcoin will be progressing from year to year, indeed the price of bitcoin is now decreasing.

because bitcoin runs on blockchain technology, there is no precise measurement to predict or outline the behavioral pattern of cryptocurrencies especially these days, the ever growing market, the sudden rush of investors and other internet based evolutions affects the price, bitcoin plays a major role because it is the pioneer of all its peers, the bitcoin price is really the best and reliable gauge when you are talking about altcoins, we all know that altcoins are trying to surpass its predecessors, but since volatility matters, no other crypto can outrun bitcoin.

It is still possible for waves to rise in the last few days. Compared with eth, waves has a lot of room to rise, but at present, the market is still very weak.

I think altcoins has different functions on their own, and it depends on the demands of the people of it so if the demands will rise the value will rise either. And since Bitcoin are all in the same market they all drawn by market itself. If the market falls it falls , if the market rise it will rise.

bitcoin and altcoin. They are the same and it has an difference between bitcoin and altcoin. Bitcoin is most likely currency and altcoin is has an low valuable price.

Well its happening more harder now mate,look how bitcoin dominates the whole crypto market with a more than 50% marketcap and with the continuing price dropping of altcoins and some are almost dying this is really frustrating

I guess that this is about the re scheduling of ETF decision and from this the investors has taking out their capital since there are no strong position on about this ETF issues

In my belief, these altcoins actually help us out by having options and not wholy monopolize a market. Bitcoin in itself is actually soarin high simply because it is the forst of its kind. Altcoins on the other hand need to prove themselves as great by developing themselves so their coins could be more useful. I myself are on the look out for the next big altcoin..

Well i think all of these will definitely rise, we just have to be patient in holding. Because some investors were afraid and dump there coins in the market and thats the reason why our market goes up and down. Lets just wait more time and bull season will be experienced before this year ends.

Bitcoin is created by an individual if your loved ones use bitcoin. They can still send money to you without having to go through an intermediary at all, just have an internet connection, just take 10 minutes as the transaction into public

I guess people will tend to realize eventually that altcoins are just a diversion and not all of them will have a place in the long run. As far as I am concerned, they are just a way for some whales to use this alt medium to instigate some so called 'MOON' mindset to those who keep believing they can get rich overnight with alts based on how bitcoin has fared in the past few years and has made a lot of early holders rich. Alts are simply more like pumps and dumps and until we start seeing some real life usage, that is what they will ever be.

I would say even that they follow Bitcoin all the time. their price depends on BTC. That is why it is very important to support the main cryptocurrency and invest in it. However, I have about 20 cryptos in my portfolio.

of course the entire market can be continued, indeed the price continues to increase and decrease, but that is natural. altcoin will not fail, it will only experience a price decline. we should be able to take advantage of conditions like now to start looking for profits from very cheap prices.

This truth is actually very simple. The amount of funds in the entire cryptocurrency market is quantitative. Bitcoin has gone up， the reasons is investors invest bitcoin after selling the altcoin. This is the blood-sucking effect of bitcoin.

well, even though altcoin follows bitcoin, it's not always when the price of bitcoin rises, the price of altcoin also rises. I had a chance to see the price development that occurred in bitcoin. the price rises quite high, but altcoin does not keep up with the price development well, and the price can decline, and can be fixed.

People have different reason why they want to earn cryptocurrency, some of them are for living and others just want to have a good asset that is profitable for long time so we cannot determine when the market price will pump or dump.

Since February, several months have passed, but at the moment the situation is repeated. There is a direct connection between Fiat - bitcoin - altcoins. and vice versa. it is for this reason that many coins fall after bitcoin or rise after it

Bitcoin is our first choice due to its more friendly response which is not present in other cryptocurrencies like Altcoins. For more fast and cheap transactions we use Bitcoin as a best payment source as well as its investment profit made people crazy. It is expanding with the passage of time and if we buy from now then our future will be bright like Bitcoin. However other Litecoin are also in benefit but we choose Bitcoin for more production of profit.

We choose cryptocurrency investment in order to look for either short term or long term that will result in profit or benefits. Long term investment plan is most profitable which is better with the Bitcoin and then Ethereum while other Altcoins are also available for us in which we can invest for little profit as these Altcoins are less valuable so we can treat it easily in short time.

BTC's positive atmosphere will again attract the attention of all those interested and invisible to promote the overall positive of the market, the BTC is almost representative of the virtual currency market. Later on, the time of altcoin sensitivity, any information that will boost the price growth.

Some Altcoin has some other features that Bitcoin does not have. In other words, Altcoin has many of the same features as Bitcoin, but some are better than Bitcoin. Some of these are faster, better anonymous, offering better investment options, and others that are more volatile and therefore more conducive to trading.

Altcoin has the added advantage of helping diversify investors, especially Ethereum - Altcoin with the most market capitalization and acceptance.
The change of network and software model is the key to Bitcoin's future. Any flaws or delays can alter the balance and some Altcoins may come close to or even surpass Bitcoin.

A few people jump at the chance to put resources into bitcoin and a few people get a kick out of the chance to put resources into altcoins. I think both are useful for long haul ventures. We definitely realize that bitcoin will have brilliant future, the benefit will be increasingly while putting resources into bitcoin. In the meantime altcoins are likewise great to contribute. Yet, we need to pick the correct coins. Check the ongoing development of the coins in the coin marketcap and select the coins with high potential and promising coins. What's more, contribute on those coins without a doubt you will get the benefit. Better you partition your and interest in to both bitcoin and altcoins.

There are no failed words for coins that are indeed at the top and more desirable, only the coins below are experiencing it. The top coins will still dominate the market, and the market will still continue from its naturally that's lead by the most desirable coins.
Bitcoin and Altcoins market will still continue and more crowded are influenced by many people because this is like a new effort in terms of business/earning money.

Bitcoin can no longer be as solid as we thought it was, but it was still a very strong coin. This currency has grown without serious security problems for nine years and has more testing time than the later Altcoins.
Furthermore, Bitcoin is more popular and has more trades, trading floors, hardware, and software that support it. Bitcoin with a much larger market capitalization than any other Altcoin. It owns the most developed ecosystem and attracts most of the new business to create startup projects around its network and these projects have made a lot of effort, dedication, and creativity to make. Bitcoin is becoming better and more useful.

Although some Altcoin succeeds in experiments, many are skeptical about its usefulness. No Altcoin has such a large infrastructure as Bitcoin and many people just use Bitcoin for daily trading.

I think bitcoin will still be a money earning place that traders often use every time because the majority of altcoins are very much influenced by bitcoin so I am sure that in 2018 bitcoin still dominates the crypto market.

If you look at the chart, you can see that since January the market is in a global fall, this suggests that manipulators intentionally break investor confidence in the hold strategy. The last drop of the market from 300 billion dollars to 200 tells us that the bottom is somewhere close and the market can turn.

I have never welcomed such a way of investing, when you monitor the schedule all day and try to guess where the market will go, instead of doing what you love, and leave the growth of the market and time.  on your question, I can tell you one thing, it's a simple growth cycle that always follows the fall

I agree.I believe bitcoins and altcoins have their own time to make their prices go to the moon.But knowing the fact that bitcoin is more popular and most trusted by a lot of investors,it will surely have more chances to rise up and then followed by some good altcoins.

You can see that the price of bitcoin in the past few days is on the sidelines and the price of altcoin is starting to recover slightly, so I think that this time you should only invest in altcoin to be able to minimize risk . The market is in the downtrend stage so the bitcoin price will probably decrease at any time and will drag altcoin prices down accordingly so when trading you need to always keep track of bitcoin prices.

Maybe the reason behind this is the individual potential of the coin itself, the process fo rise and fall of the price will determine the potential of a certain coin or token in the market.

This time both bitcoins and altcoins are dying and i wonder if ETF delay is the only reason to this ? I dont think so.  I think people are getting out of bitcoins as they feel there is no more charm in it.

Yes, they do it constantly. Meanwhile, you must have mentioned that when Bitcoin falls, this fall is not so critical. Altcoins follow it but they lose much more. That is why it will be always cool to invest exactly in BTC.

Recently Saudia Arab ban the bitcoins and people saying this as a reason for todays red market. I ask them how much role saudia play in bitcoins and how much volume they hold for such a big dump.

I think that should take a little bit of time so that other currencies began to grow at their own price. Although there is such a proposition that a lot of them may even drop to 0.

There is everything in the cryptocurrency world can happen, according to my own guess, I think by the end of 2018 it will happen and the number can reach $ 15,000.

Although bitcoin is the base currency of the cryptoworld, it doesn't mean that all alternate coins will rise too when bitcoin rises. Just like a scenario when bitcoin is down but some alternate coins remain stable and even keep on rising. That's because the demand of people for that crypto is either exceptionally high or low no matter what bitcoin's status may be.

Bitcoin has always have a faster growth pace than the altcoins. This is due to the high popularity of Bitcoin as most people have the believe that the crypto market is made up of simply Bitcoin and others. That is why the other coins are usually very slow. Bitcoin attracts most of the investments in the market.

Yeah it always does. Fluctuation to market price is invetibale. There is no guarantee that one you are holding will grow forever because it wont not happen especially for the altcoin which is dependent on bitcoin market price movement. Besides there is no way for us to find when will fluctuation happens especially if you are not having always online doing market price checking. But there could be best to do if you are holding crypto and that is to hold still no matter how market price moves the important thing is that when market price is high you have to sell and get your profit and invest again.

altcoin was born after bitcoin, but altcoin has inherited from bitcoin and altcoin is what the bitcoin lacked. The birth of these altcoins has made the market more exciting.

As a beginner to learn about the cryptocurrency market, should I invest in Bitcoin or Altcoin?

Altcoins follow Bitcoin and it's price. when the price is less, it is good to buy more.you  have to do own research before you invest for altos.when btc start rally you should in to btc and out of altos for a moment.when btc stable you can buy more altos from deep  ;) ;) ;)

Both are good for investment it offer advantages and various risks. Bitcoin is the original crypto currency and ultimately responsible for the invention of blockchain technology.while Altcoins are tokens on different blockchains they may or may not have started via ICOs.

I think these two are both aspiring coins in the market. It is just bitcoin has a bigger market though the value is not in good state but it doesn't mean is worthless.

Bitcoin is the “original” cryptocurrency and ultimately responsible for the invention of blockchain technology.Altcoins are generally defined as “everything else.”Many of these altcoins are forks or clones of bitcoin, like Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, etc. They all try different approaches to fix the problems with Bitcoin, but are fairly similar and at fundamental level.

BTC kinda eats altcoins recently. I think it’s because it’s the main crypto currency which makes it more popular, therefore even in situations like this, when the market is red, BTC can stabilize itself.

Market has no where to go than to come back with vigor. We should not be shaking for the sake of market being down and thinking of losing precious money. Pump will start soon.

I think if the price of bitcoin will drop, the price of altcoin will also drop because they are connected to each other. In addition, we all know all altcoin can be exchange to bitcoin so that if one of them goes down the other one will also down. I think in these day altcoin will not fail and I think in the near future it will become expensive like bitcoin. Just believe to both of them because those will really not fail and both of them will survive in the future.

The whole cryptocurrency market depends on bitcoin so of course bitcoin is the most valuable and have a strong stand in the market. Other coins have to prove their worth and sure need a long time to get out of bitcoin shadows to stand by their feet.

According to me altcoin difficult ride on this month. Bitcoin had increased, but declined drastically. Maybe the effect of the global economic.

Surely we all know a bit about digital currency bitcoin it works differently than the typical currency: There is no central bank that manages it and the system works on one. Peer-to-peer network protocol on Interne

These are some really good answers and thanks everyone for this.

Both coin are good on their side and market value, but we all know that since the invention of blockchain and even cryptocurrency in general bitcoin has been their from the start,that even when you mention cryptocurrency or block chain what comes first to peoples mind is bitcoin, that's how much bitcoin has done for itself, is bitcoin

Bitcoins are manipulating by other people that's why the altcoins didn't pumped also and we know that bitcoins are more profitable than altcoins. Some altcoins have potential and pumping also. And those are whales probably they called them whales who are manipulating crypto currency in the market.

I do agree that whales are price manipulators but they are also the reason why the market price are pumping so hard just like what happened last december before the year ends.

You can see that the price of altcoin is recovering and increasing very strongly in the past time, the market is showing very positive signs when so many altcoin are rising sharply, but I think you should not be subjective because the price Bitcoin is showing signs of easing. So I think you should only invest in short term.

Yes, I agreed with you that altcoins are good for investing in short-term, altcoins are very risky to invest you need to monitor the price graphic daily. I think these all altcoins was relying on bitcoin price. I saw that the market was down is bitcoin in down too.
But all of these are unpredictable and every now then the price may fluctuate.

Both altcoin and bitcoin is really amazing they are the most leading coin in the crypto market. The bitcoin is the most amazing and alrcoin price is really depend on bitcoin. I see that if bitcoin price fall. Most of the altcoin are also falling.

Yes because if you can hold it longer BTC and altcoin both will benefit you, the difference is only in the selling price, btc will profit bigger than altcoin, because btc is always above the altcoin in price.

I think its time for the whales to re-enter in the market and give some boast to the dying crypto currency. People are losing all hopes of another bull run and taking money out of crypto currency.

Now there is a formation of a new market, it seems to me, altcoins will soon not depend on bitcoin. Ie. If bitcoin will fall, it will not affect the price of altcoins.

These days we are seeing blood bath of all the currencies and there are multiple reasons for this. Only the one who will stay strong will benefit from the bull market in future, rest will just Quit.

It kind of doesn't affect the price if you think about it. Bitcoin's price changed, so the price of altcoins are also changing. This is because people are selling their altcoins when they see bitcoin's price increasing so they can ride the pump. But if you check out the altcoin's price before the price change in terms of dollars, it will be the same price after the movement. So even when sometimes the price of altcoin are high in exchange of bitcoin, it's still the same price as before when you look at it in dollar rate.

A good mobile app that you can use for this is Blockfolio. I've been using it since the beginning to track which coins should I let go and which coins should I start selling. When you click at the coin you wanna track, you can also see the transaction history for your chosen trading site. Transaction history, the charts, and the buy and sell orders as well, you can see them in the app. You can also track how much money have you lost or gain in 24 hours in percentage, dollars, or in bitcoins.

This is true. But as per the part of alternative coins, it is also the same with bitcoin the thing is bitcoin is more popular than those alternative coins. But this two are both beneficial in which it helps our daily lives to be easier. It will be the future, where everyone uses it and loves using it.

The crypto market depends upon the bitcoin, because the altcoin price depends upon the bitcoin. The price of bitcoin increases automatically the price of altcoins are also increase. Now the whole market is good for buy both bitcoin and altcoin. Just buy and hold the coins for long time once the market recover you can sell and earn good profit. Today the price started to increase hope it will continue and will create a good growth.

If the price of the alt coins is high then all the other coins can be stable and moon.

I prefer the work of bitcoin, until whenever I will work in bitcoin and will breed it, because working in bitcoin is very much in demand, everyone is sure when to choose bitcoin as a material for work.

I am also confused by the current market situation where the price movements of BTC and ALTcoin are directly proportional to either the upward or downward trend, in contrast to the market conditions in the past year where BTC was inversely proportional to ALT, I still cannot draw conclusions

They will invest in bitcoin as they know bitcoin is most worthy and the most powerful investment, if price of bitcoin fall it never fall forever, infect it gives us all a chance to save our money and buy some cheap bitcoin, now again recently my friend bought some bitcoin at price of 6k dollar to hold and other altcoins are not good in price even they have no bright future as bitcoin has so I really appreciate his choice.

Bitcoin is the biggest and it always controls the market. Investors usually go for bitcoin when they want to invest and that doesn’t has to do with whether the price of bitcoin is going down or up,  they will always go for Bitcoin that’s the reason why the price of most of altcoins will continue to go down even when the price of bitcoin is going and down.

Actually bitcoin is the first most crypto currency created in this world, while other are copies of bitcoin, and therefore the interest of the most of the people is in bitcoin, which is making bitcoin as more valuable than other crypto currencies.

As I always pray everday that both bitcoin and altcoins will become more stronger and the price will goes up. Many people says that 2018 is the year of cryptocurrency during the start of the year, but look at the current price. It is too far from our expectation and it is almost 3 months before 2018 will end. I hope that both BTC and altcoins will hike in September.

Both alts and bitcoin have a corresponding role in cryptocurrency. We all know that bitcoin being the number 1 cryptocurrency is also back up with altcoins which also brings people in the market. This two blend and compete with each other for the good of the market.

This getting worst than the moment you had posted this,because today almost all of altcoin drops prices more than 60% and somes upto 90% and thats worst than before..the main reason is investors are transferring their capital from altcoins to bitcoin because of the near ETF decision

scrupulous coin tracking is the worst property of the investor. I believe that the market is not ready for growth yet

Maybe it will resumed back again to high prices of the coins in the market.
Actually in this are suffering to much and dropping the price of each coins in the market even if the bitcoin and etherium are into a low of prices.

bitcoin and altcoin both have good investments. bitcoin prices can also affect altcoin prices, currently investing in bitcoin is very good because prices are currently rising. so I hope, both bitcoin and altcoin both have appropriate roles in cryptocurrency

not all altcoin prices fall, there are still many pretty good altcoin prices, this is a normal thing that happens in crypto.

I think the market will resume again. maybe the market isn't stable right now, but it will be stable again in the future. when bitcoin price increase the value of almost every altcoin will increase.

There really is no stability in the crypto market at the moment. Bitcoin or Altcoin have a distinct tendency to develop and no one can be sure of their disappearance.

I think altcoins this month will not change much. But another few months may be another story and I'm still keeping my altcoins. Euthereum and Litecoins. These potential altcoins. They are expected to increase sharply in the next few months and it will be a breeze if you now try to sell them in a hurry.

The price of most altcoins are determined greatly by bitcoin price. Bitcoin has become the renowned and most people would like to invest in bitcoin for now.

In altcoins, there is a prolonged lateral movement, which can serve as a zone of accumulation of positions. In bitcoin, such a zone is not yet visible, so I don't believe in the nearest growth of bitcoin.

I'm not really sure whether the effects of Bitcoin on Altcoin are the correct argument for the crypto market crisis or just a catalyst for changing the value of crypto.

The market seems to be very good this time around and most altcoins are increasing in price including Bitcoin. So have patience and keep on holding your investment by the end of this year you will be happy you did. If you haven’t bought any, then this is the right time to buy.

Price usually increase by December, I guess that’s because lots of investors usually targets December to pump and dump. It is just like what happened 2017, the price pumped on December and by new year it dropped again.

In my opinion, when the price of Bitcoin increases will also lead to the price of the Altcoin increase and I think investment in Bitcoin will be more safer.

I think this very strong movement is only bitcoin, but altcoins can also have a very strong price increase when there is an event that altcoin prices will rise and can be very expensive.

Although these two coins are equally beneficial for people investing, sometimes they are not in line if the price of bitcoin rises, the altcoin goes down and vice versa, maybe this is because there are certain factors that we do not know.

You are right, bitcoin and altcoins also has a peak and slack season just like what is happening in the real life, where in there were times when the economy or the market is not good so it is just normal, we should not worry much about it and continue to support bitcoin.

Yes it seems bitcoin was in a good condition of price and running smoothly to reach again the price that we waiting. But altcoins have in a low price for now not all altcoins are in they same situation maybe to those altcoins that have enough volume yet. But the bitcoin will going to increase the price always maybe the altcoins also be going like that.

All the value of altcoin was based on the value of bitcoin, when the bitcoin demand is increasing expect that most of the altcoin will decrease its value because the demand are focusing in the bitcoin its vise versa. That is why it was good to buy altcoin when the value of bitcoin was too high.

Its impossible for the Altcoins will totally fall for this year as there are thousand kinds of Altcoins in the market and there are hundred of them are have the potential to make your money will go. In general, most of the Crypto currency will arise soon specially Bitcoin as we are already in the tip of waiting of this bearish market to end.

altcoin need price bitcoin high, if price bitcoin high else stable all altcoin can go to the moon. This is the rule. Comment personal.

I do agree because there are many negative things happening around the around the globe regarding bitcoin usages. So it will effect on the altcoin prices because every altcoin prices depend on the bitcoin price.

Bitcoin is a digital currency and can be decentralized . Bitcoin is originally first known cryptocurrency been created by satoshi nakamoto and altcoin for my understanding is generally defined as “everything else.” Although some might not refer to Ethereum as an altcoin, but certainly the 1500 other coins out there are considered “alts.” Means it is alternative term of virtual money .

Many alts are just pump and dump coins. So, despite the market's condition, there would be a fall.
However, some alts are really great and are giving good competition to the pioneer. Consider Ethereum. The coin is the second most popular crypto right now and has great successful projects going for it. Not only this, the coin has one of the best development teams behind it and has gained massive acceptance in the financial market in a very short period of time. The coin is also now adopted by big companies like Microsoft. It currently has a very strong capital of $23 billion and is one of the most potential coins right now.

The whole crypto market is actually red, and of course the Bitcoin's price affects the altcoins markets surely. The crypto market is always unstable, so we don't have to panic about the actual situation, it is, in fact, a good opportunity to buy more cryptocurrencies with the lowest rates.

Sometimes going up and down, nothing is certain, depending on demand, I think bitcoin does not have a strong increase, because market prices have not provided satisfactory results for all coin users, many are panicking with the situation getting worse now, I personally have the idea to keep collecting coins, and I hope that by the end of this year there will be an increase in market prices.

Indeed, the price of bitcoin has increased, but the price of altcoin stands transfixed without any obvious changes, there may be some altcoins that will disappear this month because they are unable to fight other altcoins.

At this moment the price of bitcoin was increasing slowly and I think this time will be the right time to invest in cryptocurrencies especially on bitcoin. I think the market will resumed soon and you need to be patience so that you will not regret on your decision.

I will always support bitcoin as a material for work, in the altcoin forum it is not so perfect, if the bitcoin forum is perfect and can make investment, I will continue to work in the altcoin forum

in my opinion, many altcoins fail and lead to scame, but bitcoin is not like that when prices rise usually altcoins also go up

Guys I've found bounty of this coin.it is very trending.Dobyou suggest me to invest in this country
https://contest.zestcoin.io/6462/5068137

it's hard to guess, bitcoin determines the movement of altcoins.
In the past, if bitcoin went down, the altcoin would rise now that everything didn't happen and the harder it was to analyze the altcoin. this makes trading more difficult and annoying. no more daily trading at this time.

indeed for now it is very difficult to guess the movement of bitcoin, and altcoin. unlike before, when the price of bitcoin dropped, sometimes the price of altcoin remained stable, but at present, it is very difficult to predict that.

Cryptomarket is improving day by day.In this technical era their is alot of advancement cryptocurrency is emerging as a king of digital currency.Bitcoin is on the top of all coins.Even other altcoins are getting popular day by day.People are investing more in digital currency as compare to gold nowdays.Bitcoin and altcoins are emerging with great pace in present scenario.

I think the scenario will develop unpredictably: in detail you can not predict how the market will go, but it will definitely change. There is a possibility of falling even more - but I feel that it will not be long and again there will be good growth. The fact is that the world is constantly changing and the idea to switch to a better calculation of digital money has already been accepted by the world. Simply, there is a slow implementation in different spheres, and this can not be stopped.

Crypto price movements are influenced by the traders themselves, the price fluctuations of nobody knows. today it can go up tomorrow it could go down, currently most of the altcoin prices are still dependent on bitcoin prices, but there are some altcoins, which suddenly rise high or even fall sharply. I think this is the game of big investors.

Cryptocurrency is fully decentralized, secure and is a currency that is controlled by cryptography. Cryptocurrencys not issued by the central bank and its value doesn't depend on bank policies. Unlike other currencies they are generally introduced to money suppliers through Quantitative Easing (QE). So, the price of a digital currency entirely based only on supply and demand. If the demand's more dominated by bitcoin, then bitcoin will grow better than altcoin.

Bitcoin and Altcoin's price changes are all related. Bitcoin is the oldest cryptocurrency. When its price starts to change, other currency will change as it changes.

Many altcoin dont give good return because their project not run well. Some altcoin are good and have prospect in the future because have solid developers team and I am believe many altcoin is worth to invest for long term

Bitcoin and altcoins are fulfilling the goal of the crypto industry. Each of these categories complement each other on the market although every coin has its unique goal. The downfall of one coin especially the large cap coins affects adversely the entire crypto market to a certain percentage.

Bitcoin is the crypto market leader, bitcoin price movements certainly affect the price of altcoins, because the standard altcoin calculation is bitcoin. All over the world people know bitcoin but don't know altcoin. So it must be popularized that cryptocurrency is not just bitcoin, but there are also altcoins.

Altcoins not yet known by all users and many of other project now are create their own token or coins so those new alternative coins will not really be noticeable because now the other users want to earn money immediately few would like to know other altcoins that have increased and competed in bitcoin.

Well as you can see the market now is really bad and some of them are affected and I think some of them also are not because it depends of the project development and also those whales manipulating the price of other crypto currency. Nothing to do about it just wait the developer do their goal to achieve their goal of their projects.

   Crypto and ALT coins have almost the same features as posted in the market, Market Investment is the driving forces for the stability of the market, it either favorable or non favorable to one specific coins. Investment for these coins still among the trend in the market. one should note that Market is Volatile, it is unpredictable. one should learn the market and gather all the information before you make a final decision as to which coin are favorable for investment.

Bitcoin comparison with Altcoin is irrelevant because Bitcoin is the base currency of crypto world and even if we see prices Altcoins will need years to reach at the current position of Bitcoin. However, all exists in digital form but we have many differences that are making the comparison impossible. Besides this investment of both Bitcoin and Altcoin is profitable so we should diversify our investment.

dunno , after watching market , i just realize
if bitcoin up == most of altcoin will down
if bitcoin down == most of altcoin will down
if bitcoin stable == alt coin will up

the most of  altcoin price always depend on bitcoin , and the time of altcoin rise often when bitcoin price was table

We should always make sure that we know what we are investing at and we are ready to take the risk, we should be able to learn the value of bitcoin and altcoins as well, bitcoin is great but altcoins are also worth investing for me.

There are thousands of cryptos in the market these days and it is right that most of them are scams and you should be careful while investment in those coins. For me the best option is bitcoin because bitcoin is the pioneer of cryptocurrency and the leading one in the market. Bitcoin price is very influential on other coins. Altcoin prices depend on the price of bitcoin.

Of course, there is a dependence of altcoins on bitcoin. But it manifests itself in different phases of the market. Altcoins are also a good indicator of Bitcoin growth. History shows that altcoins first start growing, and then bitcoin. Altcoins can grow even when bitcoin is in a flat.

Most of the time it is true since most of the investors of other cryptocurrency started at Bitcoin and what they invest on other cryptocurrency is Bitcoin also but there are some times that the price of it is not dependent on Bitcoin.

The most popular altcoin, Ethereum is an example of it. if you don't know, Ethereum pumped after the new year reaching the 4 digit price mark and surprising a lot of investor. At that time, Bitcoin is not pumping in fact it is opposite of what is happening to Ethereum's price. The price of Bitcoin that time is dumping from the 5 digit price mark back to 4 digit price.

Yeah it is right with the passage of time more and more people come to know about cryptocurrency and when they realize the importance of it, they put their money in it to make big profits in the future. In this regard bitcoin is the most popular and valuable than Altcoin because of the high market capital and worldwide acceptance. There are also some potential Altcoin which are good for investment.

I think whales are not ready for altcoins yet, even Bitcoin hasn’t had much of a rise in the price this year. From $19k and what we have now is $6k—plus, and the price is not even showing signs that it might increase. September is over and we already in October and a lot of predictions has been made, but none of them has been accurate. All I know is that the current prices in the market are the lowest we will see for now.

I am sure that there will be growth soon, but not big, up to $ 8,000 we will definitely see.

Altcoins often follow their Bitcoin price. According to the graphs it is clearly visible. This is probably due to the domination of Bitcoin in the market.

well, both of them certainly have their own advantages. moreover, altcoins, cheap prices sometimes make many investors use it to get big profits. but I think the benefits can be felt from the function of the coin itself.

Bitcoin supercedes these altcoins on the market and it is staged to spearhead the crypto market to a global adoption where most if not all companies, businesses, and countries integrate it into their payment methods. Altcoins buttress the goal of Bitcoin to take crypto to the people.

 I am glad that I know about digital currency in 2017 but my bad because I didn't believe in it in 2011 when my old friend tells me that he starts to mine BTC... I meet him after six years and he shows me his Lamborgini Galardo! GALARDO God Damn!!! We talk more than five hours, he recommended me to start with Graphic Cards RIG. It was good advice! I knows that I have no money for it but I didn't give up! Next day I found the information about non ChexSystems banks (https://checkgain.com/non-chexsystems-banks/) and made a credit card for buying my first RIG :) That's how I have began

You know BTC is the king of the crypto market so in the normal sense BTC is all in all in the crypto market. Because by the welfare of blockchain technology all cryptos have come forward to us. From my perceptions, for log term investment BTC is the most favorable for getting profit than others.                   

Even though there are many new altcoins these days and some of them are even better in features as compare’s to bitcoin, but bitcoin is the king of crypto currencies and no other altcoin can match the bitcoins.

I see many good projects like EOS and ADA which are much better in speed and transactions but they do not have a use case as compare to bitcoins. Bitcoins are used as a real currency while all the other alt coins are used just for trading purposes.

Altcoin is a coin made after bitcoin. The altcoin price is converted to bitcoin, while the price of bitcoin is converted to USD. Because bitcoin is the first crypto coin made and the price is the most expensive, he is the market leader of the bitcoin, which means the rise or fall of crypto prices is influenced by crypto market sentiment towards bitcoin.

Both of them certainly have their own advantages. Moreover, altcoins, cheap sometimes make many investors use it to get big profits. But I think the benefits can be felt from the coin itself

well if bitcoin has a good market price increase then anything else will going to follow. You can take bote ofnl that but it will depend also to the altcoins for there are altcoins to which contributors or investors are dumping their holdings to which it could take effect on the market price for that altcoin.

I think it will takes time to resume the whole market and there will some altcoin that will be totally down. As of now there some altcoin become popular and their price was good like EOS. The reason why some altcoin was still standing at this stakes is because of their strong structure and supporters.

Right now all crypto there situations are not good, Bitcoin and Altcoin are experiencing a crisis for me because there price are still not going higher even a little. But I know it will be back, only need to do is keep waiting because eventually it will rise again. Just don't lose hope and still believe to it because we never know it will rise gradually, just have patience and everything will be alright.

The best coins in the market are going to recover, I have no doubt about it, but most coins that were created just as a way to make money and that the developers had no intention to work hard to make them a success are going to disappear and are never going to recover, so the best thing that you can do at the moment is to move your money to bitcoin and only invest in new altcoins when the market is going up.

I think that most altcoins follow the bitcoin trend. I think bitcoin is still the benchmark for other coins. although not all coins follow the development of bitcoin. Now there are so many ico coins that have just appeared on the cryptocurrency market. and I think the newly emerging coins have a lot of risks, and fail so their prices continue to break.

Alts are just following bitcoin's trend and if bitcoin tends to fall, alts will tend to fall too. Just like what happened few hours ago, the market crumbled and there's a massive dump that happened. Bitcoin affected all of them and is now starting to make the whole market bleeding. Knowing when the market can be stable again as before, no can do. Looking back when op asked the question, the market is falling including all of the alts.

I think the price movement of bitcoin and altcoin is directly proportional. when bitcoin rises, most of the altcoins will rise and this will make the market green. conversely when bitcoin goes down the altcoin also goes down. this happens because bitcoin is the main currency in cryptocurrency and is a reference for all coins. like the dollar in fiat money when the dollar strengthens or weakens this will have an impact on all currencies in the world. Bitcoin is also like that with altcoin.

Bitcoin prices are always a reference for altcoins, because rising or falling bitcoin prices will have an impact on the altcoin price. As a cryptocurrency, where more and more users of bitcoin, and provide updates for digital transactions that are safer, more convenient and more efficient.

lately many ico have problems, ranging from scams to unsatisfactory token sales. of course this happens because the price of bitcoin has experienced a correction during this year

many altcoin fall, die, no one use altcoin again and make it die. and i think, as long as you trade some coin, than the coin you traded will always hold on exchanger. the problem is, many coin release, every week, every day. so, it will make sense if some coin must be abandoned. and like the other member said before, altcoin will following bitcoin.

It is the bad altcoins that will die. Potential altcoins will certainly have enough money to live through these harsh days. But I think this is a purge of the altcoins. The bad altcoins will die out. Then when the market was no longer the junk altcoins, it would be pumped easily.

People see bitcoin as the face of cryptocurrencies and as such new investors find it as the first coin to invest in.  Bitcoin do rise and others altcoins do fall due to the market conditions of the altcoins market.  The ethereum that do pull them along is not doing well and therefore it has to keep other on slow also.

If altcoins were as innovative as they claim then they will not follow the price of bitcoin so closely and yet the evidence show to us that most coins even some of the most powerful and that have the most money invested in them are just a variation of the bitcoin code so the only reason that we have to invest in those coins is to try to make money with them and nothing more.

Some of them would really oppose the trend on what bitcoin is taking but I agree on what you have said no matter where we would go we would able to see
that alts will definitely follow on wheres bitcoin is heading. People or most investor do definitely do all sorts of things and ending up to store or accumulate bitcoin.

The market is currently unstable, it can't be said what the altcoin price will be in the future, because by looking at the current BTC prices up and down, stay patient and hold if you have assets in bitcoin or altcoin, I am sure the period is not this stability it will end whether or not when and BTC and altcoin prices will rise again to reach the highest point.

Bitcoin prices are the standard price of all altcoins, so it is common to understand that every time bitcoin will always be strong, because technology creates all Altcoin from the blockchain, which will always be related to the first bitcoin currency, so all coins will always be related to bitcoin. .

It is normal. Because bitcoin is the mother of altcoin. The price of altcoin will go up and down follow the price of bitcoin

Most of the altcoins are down 90% from their peak valuations in 4th QTR 2017. Only a few cryptos have fared better and these include Ripple, Stellar and Ethereum. Others like Cardano and NEO have witnessed bloodbaths.

bitcoin has a lot of advantages from altcoins, but for traders who like the challenge surely choose an altcoin that is still new, because with a small capital we can get a huge profit from the surge in new coin prices, but for long-time traders, certainly choose bitcoin even now there is rarely a spike in prices but prices are relatively more stable in trading, altcoin traders usually change their coins very quickly if they feel they are no longer profitable.

indeed at that time both bitcoin or altcoin experienced many good developments. but at the end of this year all coins or altcoins suffered the same fate as well, there was a significant decline

It depends on the status of cryptocurrencies in the market. In general, whenever the prices of bitcoin increase/decrease, the effect on the prices of altcoin is inversely related to bitcoin. But this is not always the case especially on some altcoins that are predominantly established and well-known in the market. The burden of checking their prices will be transferred to the investor in order to maximize profits and to prevent incurring losses.


Although there was a significant decline of their prices, I do not think that bitcoin price would fall lower than $6,000 since its price depends on mining. Everytime its price decreases to below $6,000, expect for its price to rise eventually.

That is life, we may be experiencing now the downs but eventually, we will be having the ups that we want to.

As an investors, all we've got to do in these times to take advantage of the price dumps. It might not be that bad since there will come a time that the price will be pumping and it will be a great time for us. It is worth the wait as they say it. Just be patient, patience is a virtue and as an investor of a volatile crpytocurrency, we really need it.

Bitcoin is the big influential coin that can affect the price of the altcoins , some altcoins in market is depends in btc . But the best thing to do is to hold your assets and wait for the big pump of the bitcoin. I hope some of altcoins is like bitcoin that can price is to the moon , i think before or after this year bitcoin will rise again.

Bitcoin has a strong rise because it is the first cryptocurrency and the most famous of them all. As you can see the market when bitcoin falls most of the altcoins also falls or when bitcoin rise the value of most of altcoins also rise.

Even now most of the trading for the altcoins are in the form of Bitcoin vs alt. The volumes for fiat vs alt is rising, but with the exception of two or three major alts, this amount is much lower than that from the trade with respect to Bitcoin. So it is not very surprising that the exchange rates for altcoins remains closely inter-connected to that of BTC.

I will want you to know that is not about the issue of ones thought that will determine the bottom price of this year bitcoin market nor does the price depend on mining because if the mining are intact while there is not  demand in the market the price will dump. What I am trying to point out is that everything both the mining, demand and supply status determine the price of the market. However, I want you to know that the bottom price of the market will be below $6000.

and until whenever if the price of bitcoin rises, of course altcoin will definitely follow, because bitcoin has a big impact on altcoin in terms of price because bitcoin has become a benchmark price for altcoins

I believe the market price of all coins is determined by process and developement of the product. Many people think ripple is not good coins cause its just like a traditional bank and kind of like that but as i see ripple is one of good project which have a real product and do have a real partnership and seems like ripple are started to be big by partnering with big bank such as Bank CIMB from malaysia. I believe market will start resume when we do have a clear regulations regarding ICO and also real use of the product from altcoins company. I also believe in year 2019 we will see so many use of blockchain technology in many aspects of businesses, we do already see a good example of company using blockchain technology in their businesses for example the wallmart that using blockchain technology for supply chains.

I noticed that not all Altcoin prices depend on Bitcoin, there are some Altcoin whose prices are not influenced by Bitcoin. Altcoin and Bitcoin are actually very different but give us an advantage.. the most striking difference is the type of Blockchain used, Bitcoin has its own Blockchain while Altcoin is different too. Ethereum with Smart Contract and its own Blockchain offers something different from Bitcoin, as well as the price problem. so when the price of Bitcoin crashes or rises, don't worry too much because there are still Altcoins whose prices remain stable.

the market will definitely continue, and the number of altcoin coins will increase every day. and at the moment I don't see a rise in bitcoin, so the state of bitcoin affects the market conditions and the majority of altcoins that don't increase for now. and I think there are a number of altcoins that have failed this year. even though the market situation is very boring, but the market continues. and I'm sure in the near future, the market will show an increase.

Unfortunately, this is the truth. Many altcoins will die in several years, man. I guess, that the main task for most of us now is to realize which of the cryptocurrencies will survive.

Those that'll will survive are those that have usability in the real world - real use case coins,  and those that will drive mainstream adoption.  One coin I love mainly for its use case is Tapcoin.  I buy drinks and dinner sometimes with it,   they have over 100k partners worldwide and are still going.

I think people are wary of altcoins because of the many scams in 2017.

Scams are bad because they dampen adoption and gives all the altcoins a bad name.

What I suggest is to do your own research and invest in altcoins that make sense and preferably, already live.

Bitcoin

To serve the common need of people that weren't fulfilled by the traditional fiat, an advancement that function completely on technology came into existence. In simple terms an alternative to the fiat system with multiple usage than the traditional fiat and lots of benefits.

Altcoins

Growth without competence is something like a manipulation, this gets fulfilled by the existence of altcoins that follow the base of altcoin and functions on different platforms based on the blockchain technology. This can be mentioned as a alternative to the bitcoin for some reason, because some features of altcoins gain more importance than the bitcoin. In specific at times altcoins were preferred over bitcoin to reduce the transaction fee.

Bitcoin is the reason altcoins exists. No Bitcoin, No Altcoins. From start, bitcoin brought the confidence that one can use a digital currency as a store of value, global transactions and so on. And from that ideology, came altcoins. Like I always say, ‘When Bitcoins coughs, altcoins cough as well’. However, I believe some other altcoin will live to surpass Bitcoin. For now, Bitcoin is still the master.

Its normal when bitcoin goes up then altcoin just stuck or can be more cheaper, cause one of the reason altcoin's movement base on bitcoin as well. When bitcoin get stable its time for altcoin to reversal. Don't worry if market is bleeding, that is chance to buy more.

In my personal opinion, bitcoin and altcoin have quite a close relationship, and not all altcoins will rise when bitcoin rises there are also altcoins that decline but there are also altcoins that go up even most altcoins go up when bitcoin rises, for example ethereum, bitcoin gold and there  some more that I don't know

Bitcoin going up is giving the overall crypto space a boost and positive vibe for sure but a altcoin can only gain more on there own doing.

We are currently going through a great moment in the history of Bitcoin, a few days ago there was a correction of almost $ 3k, now it is beginning to recover the price under which it reached $ 13k, it is very likely that investors are determined to start again the bullish race, we can say and hope that the prices will start to give a good positive turn to the upside and continue their bullish career until reaching the $ 20k. According to the Wyckoff philosophy, it is very likely to happen.

Perhaps, bitcoin and altcoins are working together. I mean they are helping to one another, through when bitcoin goes up most of the potential altcoins are dumping their price in the market. Where it is actually chance for the traders to buy then hold, then for the Bitcoin holders it is a good time to sell, then when it goes down, buy back is the simplest way to get profit again in the end.

Compared to the starting of the year there is good growth with bitcoin and the leading altcoins., but that too hasn't reached high as that of the growth taken place with bitcoin. Rest of the altcoins were on the same level than very small price increase which according to the growth of 2017 was very high while bitcoin was crossing the same price that we've reached this time.

Perhaps the direct effect of altcoin on the development of bitcoin, which is a good step at the moment, is not very impactful, obviously not too. maybe because of the high number of altcoins that are growing and scams that affect. but for a good altcoin and growing together with bitcoin is pretty much.

I think all the different scams made regular investors hesitant to invest in altcoins.

For technical investors, scams are very easy to spot and bad investments are also very easy to spot.

However, for the non technical investors, they have no idea which altcoin is a scam and which altcoin is not a scam so they go with the safest choice, which is Bitcoin.

You have researching on market for it, so people this year i things have different about investing cryptocurrency other than bitcoin, because next halving have a good choise to planing them money to puted into bitcoin.

yeah, the price of Bitcoin is rising well and increas is high, it looks like other coins are difficult to keep up with the increase in the price of Bitcoin. I don't know what is the reason why Altcoin doesn't rise simultaneously with Bitcoin. not the same as years 2017 ago, where was that time Bitcoin and Altcoin rose simultaneously.

When investing in the market, I always believe that bitcoin and altcoins are bound for success and because of that I don't panic when I see bitcoin is rising and altcoins are falling as I know it's just temporary for altcoins, eventually altcoins will slowly recover and will rise altogether with BTC.

There are some altcoins which are already rising now but we know it's very small compared to the total legit altcoins, but we need to be patiently waiting for the time, otherwise we will not experience the success.

People are all expecting a breakout from the altcoins but I know that it will take much more time before it happens. It's 1 and a half year before that even happened and I think 2 years will be enough for our wait. You guys better stocked up those good projects that has sunked down 100x and above from their moon price because they will make lucrative roi when it start to rise.

Only popular altcoins are showing improvement, some of them are not even moving. This is the reason why other investors are selling their altcoins to switch in bitcoin because the growth of btc has a good impact for traders to assume bull run might happen for this year.

We thought the price increase of bitcoin can pull the price of altcoins just like what happened before but its different. So I think we have to wait longer for alts to bounce back lets just be patient.

Bitcoin is the no.1 cryptocurrency in terms of the number of users and acceptability and that is the reason why it continues to increase in value. The value for most of the altcoins come from speculation that at some point of time in the future they may be able to overtake Bitcoin in some or all the spheres. But now it looks like these alts are not capable of doing so and therefore they are going down and BTC is increasing in value.

The altcoins will indeed suffer for a while because of a very bullish Bitcoin. It is going to be a red sea of altcoins for the next weeks or so. But of course there will always be some little spikes. It will never be about free fall. Altcoins are always great choices. When the smoke of Bitcoin rally goes down, be ready to buy a lot of altcoins because their turn will follow.

We will not know what will happen later, the market may suddenly fall and rise for several reasons. The cryptocurrency market will definitely resume, unless altcoin doesn't have good development of course they will fail, the blockchain has a good future in the economic field.

Bitcoin prices and Altcoin prices sometimes cannot work together, for example when the price of Bitcoin rises but the price of Altcoin drops.  I think that is a natural thing, and it does not mean that if the price of Bitcoin goes up and the price of Altcoin falls then it is said that the altcoin will die, that is not true.  And I think to respond to this we must be able to position ourselves, when the price of Bitcoin goes up and Altcoin goes down then we have to buy Altcoin in large quantities for our investment, then we hold it until the price rises.  Because it often also happens when the price of Bitcoin falls and the price of Altcoin rises.

Bitcoin is getting very stronger and a lot of investor of bitcoin is very happy right now because the price is continue to rise while a lot of altcoin now is not showing a good perforamance on there price but i am hoping that soon the price of many alts will rise again.
