Title: Very stable BTC dominance
Post by: quartzz on November 23, 2018, 02:15:36 AM
Since the dump from 6500$ (and actually since sept.) btc dominance has been very stable, around 53%.
However it appears previous bear market phases always had an impact on the indicator.

How do you explains this at all?

/edit: details
Since september Bitcoin went from $6500 to $5500
Then 5500 to 4200
Then 4200 to 3700
Then 3700 to 4300
Then 4300 to 3300

BTC and the whole cryptomarket are falling absolutely proportionately. It remains at 53%
Previously it wasn't the case. Dec 13 it fell from 96% to 87%. Strong movements in the markets pretty much always translated in a different dominance afterwards.

Note that the absolute value of btc dominance (53%), high/low, is not my point at all.
Also speculations on BTC aren't the point, it's only about understanding the current stability of btc dominance, if it has any meaning.

But it's been already a couple of days that the dump initiated and dominance hasn't change.
In the past, it used to change as the dump starts

Get to know how dominance is calculated first and you will have a better clue why it has not changed much.

BTC Dominance (%) = (Bitcoin Market Capitalization / Total Market Capitalization) * 100

Now, you have to understand that money left the whole market and not just bitcoin. We saw every other coin moved accordingly as their value decreased, so in a way, when it comes to dominance, nothing has changed.

You will get to figure that out the more this way; if money is leaving altcoins into bitcoin which pretty much will show you a bullish bitcoin and bearish altcoins, BTC dominance increases and it happens the other way round as well.

The so called "bitcoin dominance" doesn't matter at all to me.If the bitcoin price crashes to around 1000 USD,but the bitcoin dominance reaches 90%,would you be happy?It's normal for bitcoin to "dominate" all the other cryptos in a bear market.In a bull market,the bitcoin market cap will decrease to under 50% of the total crypto market cap.

indeed it's all our hope, to see bitcoin bullrun. I think recover 30% is good for this year, considering that until the end of November the bear market is still continuing, hopefully in December it will be fulfilled

Are you sure that your information is true, not false? Bitcoin has been stable for two months, but now you don't know what the price is? Bitcoin has nothing to do with stability. If Bitcoin is now stable, the entire cryptocurrency market will end.

The simple explanation is that all coins are also moving down, so obviously the dominance will not change a bit. Yes it could have a impact but its a bad indicator to say the least. There were times that bitcoin's dominance is less than 50% and yet the price is almost at all-time-highs.

I think it is currently stable as of now because we dont know what will happens next. All cryptocurrencies experiences fluctuation because of people are more into trading thats why prices drops. Lets wait if bitcoin will recover or have another bull run this year.

Which is a sign that most of the investors lost their faith in the altcoins and just keep focusing on bitcoin and about the future of prices.By the way the dominace has no real value for bringing the bull run to the market,the bull run will happen only when increase in the cap values in the considerable amount.

During bear markets, there are times when bitcoin dominance falls due to the uncertainty surrounding the market. It is the nature of people to avoid traversing an uncertain path and take those that are relatively safe, and this is what's happening in bitcoin and other alts for some time. However, we can't argue the fact that there are still a lot of people eyeing bitcoin and trading it, hoping to make a hefty profit out of the mess, and positive news is also helping these traders to trade against the tides hoping that it will soon change, hence the unchanged bitcoin dominance %.

While I think bitcoin dominance isn't really that important, it helps us gauge the interest of the market over a certain coin, and to see whether it has swayed over to another coin or not to help us decide which crypto is to trade in a specific time-frame. On bear markets, it rarely changes, as a large percentage of traders still want to hold bitcoin and trade it compared to other coins.

I’m very surprises that the Bitcoin dominance has been so stable. The dominance of Bitcoin should have gone up by now, but I think a lot of traders have sold Bitcoins into stabile coins. History has showed us that most Altcoins in top 20 getting changed every 2-3 years, only Bitcoins really stays up there.
I still think that the market are waiting for a far greater Bitcoins dominance, before the new Bull Run can start.

Right now, "bitcoin dominance" doesn't matter so much. If price of bitcoin drops others follow it, vice versa. It is a indicator for crypto market and determines where crypto market goes. There is no need to say more about it.

Easy. If you take a look at historical snapshots on coinmarketcap and pay attention to prices and btc dominance, you'll notice that since bitcoin's creating the dominance has been mainly going down as the market was growing. When bitcoin's price gets higher, people start believing more in other coins as well, they think of it as of a great time to invest. Thus, the dominance goes down. If, on the other hand, things get bad and we have a bearish market, people sell all of their coins and transfer some of these funds into bitcoin. Some of them tend to think that even if the market crushes, the king will still be there. We tend to care more only about bc when things get bad, so we see how much marketcap it loses. However, other cryptos lose even more and thus btc dominance level is very high.

Dominance is actually going up, we are now at %54.1 which is pretty decent, but there's a long road to %80 where it should be. The only reason we saw all time lows for Bitcoin was due Ethereum pump, a lot of noobs into crypto were looking for "Bitcoin 2.0" and Ethereum sold itself good as "the next big thing". Of course we know is a scam but dumb money doesn't. That Ripple pump was pretty dumb, then we have the forkcoins taking an misleading amount of marketcap.

We also had panic moments on Bitcoin during the segwit drama, then the segwit2x drama, and the bcash drama as well. These events made many people put their money into altcoins temporarily thinking it would retain value there.

Long term Bitcoin must go towards %80 due Paretto law distributions and given all of these altcoins aren't solving any fundamental problems Bitcoin could have.

I agree



The altcoins do not have a great use in real life, if the altcoins had practical use in real life then the dominance of bitcoin would be much smaller and the falls of prices of bitcoin would not affect much the altcoins, but the reality is that the altcoins are focused on solving the problems of the internet, nothing against this, but there are already over 2000 altcoins and more than 80% of these altcoins have the same purpose

Bitcoin has always dominated the market right from inception. 53% dominance is no longer surprising. This has always been the range of its fair share in the market. BTC gave birth to every other coin we have today.

BTC dominance has been pretty much on that level for a while now. The dump is nothing considering the fact that it was something that hit the whole market generally and not just bitcoin. It was not like bitcoin was dropping and the altcoin market was rising. Bear market as we have all seen it is something that affects the whole market overall when it hits, what we are seeing now is just the statistics based on the market cap over all compared to the rest of the market and the dominance of bitcoin totally depends as well on the sentiments of the market overall and where money is moving into.

But it's been already a couple of days that the dump initiated and dominance hasn't change.
In the past, it used to change as the dump starts
Maybe you should be reading more on how that dominance is calculated and probably you will figure out the main reason why it has not changed. Bitcoin was not the only coin that dropped, the whole market did, and the dominance of bitcoin is compared generally with the whole market, and the reason why you see the dominance not changing is because money is being moved out from all markets generally, and the percentage of bitcoin in market cap to the total altcoin market cap, simply gives you what the dominance is all about.

I never discussed the absolute value of btc dominance (53%). High/low: not my point at all.

My point is that it's merely the same 53% since september 2018. And the massive dump did not even affect it.

So far I noticed that some people think it's too early to explain why it didn't change, but that's what I would like to know

It's not too early to explain. The reason BTC's dominance didn't change much is because it tanked in quite a similar fashion as altcoins did. Usually it's BTC down 5%, altcoins down +10%, but the decreases were pretty even this time.

If everything goes down equally, the dominance won't move much at all. In other words, Bitcoin behaved like a shitcoin in the last few weeks. It didn't show anything of its usual strength, it kept tanking like there is no tomorrow.

The most interesting aspect to focus on is whether or not the similarities will be there on the way up as well. If not, it might very well be that altcoins will outperform Bitcoin and drag the dominance below 50% in a quick fashion.

So basically you are saying that BTC no longer has this function of "refuge", the safe-haven cryptocurrency. The fact bitcoin behaves like altcoins (or vice versa) means what?

In the old days people were going from Bitcoin to altcoins because altcoins were offering quick gains. When they were selling they were coming back to Bitcoin. Now people are investing in alts straight with fiat, or going through tether instead of Bitcoin. It doesn't have to be that safe refuge because it's much easier to buy and sell altcoins. It's good for Bitcoin because the more stable it is the better. I'd rather have people buy Bitcoin to own Bitcoin not to do it because they want to invest in altcoins.

well just let see it after holiday session, if the increase of bitcoin is still stable or even be more high to jump back in actual price that was sounds good enough, but i prefer when bitcoin has very stable price rather than violate market. because maybe this is the start of bitcoin to comeback to implement with many big company that provide transaction with bitcoin

Bitcoin broke through its yearly support, which resulted in so much panic, that the fierce selling pressure was enough to have BTC almost outperform altcoins in terms of % movement.

Altcoins act like leveraged instruments and exeggerate every movement of BTC, but with so much selling pressure even BTC can't do anything other than go down like 15%. If you also add that there is limited market depth, the price tanks hard, there just isn't a way to put it differently. Bitcoin has to swallow sales from both the altcoin market and its own market, and when both simultaneously pressure BTC, this is what you get.

Is it possible that BCHABV vs BCHSV camps sell BTC to pay their bills? It is, but it goes through BitPay, and they don't sell unless they have no other option.

I don't think there is a lot of big interest changes. Also when the price was 6.5k $, the dominance was around 53%. Even if you can look at it now you can see that the dominance in coinlib.io is 54.26%. I don't think this needs an explanation, even it would be better for us to have lower dominance.

If we say something about the current market, then we have to look back. You can get ideas about the market from 2009 to 2018. Every time the decrease of btc, its price has increased even more. So we have to be patient. And to get more knowledge about the market.

If you can see the last months of 2017, October to Nobember is the pumping days of bitcoin but when December comes in, it gradually goes down. In short, it may goes more down in this upcoming month which is December and the market won't recover in this year anymore. 2019 is a prosperous year for bitcoin said by lots of spectators. Well, we will see if it will happen.

Bitcoin dominance shows only the proof that cryptocurrency investors believe in bitcoin compared to any altcoin. This is the reason why bitcoin is so stable in terms.of market cap. Altcoins, however, are not that stable in terms of market cap since XRP, ETH, BCH are battling it out.


Title: Re: Very stable BTC dominance

In my opinion. Bitcoin prices have not always been stable since the beginning. this is very difficult to predict because crypto currencies are allied to demand and supply factors. and the majority of crypto assets also have a huge effect on crypto prices. so it is difficult if we say the crypto price is relatively stable when the crypto price is at the level of 6,500 usd

I think it is kinda showing why the altcoin prices are so low even when bitcoin is dropping. The market dominance is the proof that when bitcoin is dropping the price for altcoins drop in bitcoin price as well as usd price (indirectly because of bitcoin price drop) so it does a double dip instead of single dip like bitcoin.

Bitcoin only goes from 6500 dollars to 4300 dollars or whatever and that's one dip, ethereum for example drops in price against bitcoin, it also drops in price because bitcoin drop, which makes it go even further down which it really doesn't have to because nothing major happened in ethereum to make it fall at all. Bitcoin dominance is exactly the reason why we should be focusing on altcoins instead of bitcoin during the bear market season so when things go back up we could have bigger profits.

It is too early to decide about this, I believe we need some more time maybe two months to see how stable it is. Basically, bitcoin has been much stable than most altcoins in recent times. So in all, bitcoin is doing better than most cryptocurrencies.

It is difficult to interpret the meaning of this but when the price goes down altcoins tend to lose more money than bitcoin because they are even more unstable, but the bitcoin dominance is remaining close to where it was, this tells me that most likely when we see a recovery we are going to see the alts growing faster than bitcoin and reducing that huge dominance a little bit.

I didn't think that the price movement of BTC is stabilizing, indeed the price was down for recent couple of weeks. Every one is free to make an interpreting or statement about the price of bitcoin, but for me bitcoin will never be stable even though we see the chart is not significantly move. It doesn't mean that the price is table as real currency. Because stable is the opposite of crypto currency principle.

In 2017, when almost all the cryptocurrencies rushed to the Moon, Bitcoin dominance was about 37% only. Today more people trust it and invest in BTC. Its dominance is 53-54%, and it is stable.

Stable dominance because of a lot of people still believing in Bitcoin technology. They think that they have a better profit if they invest in this kind of technology aside from being stable people didn't have a doubt on this. However, they grab the better opportunity that purchases Bitcoin while it is very cheap in the market. Stable dominance will contribute the market begun to raise.

Bitcoin dominate market cap value more than 50%, i think its not good for others coin development. many altcoin drop the price more than 95% from highest price and i think if bitcoin domination above 50%, altcoin will not growing fast

I have noticed that as well and it seems very interesting, bitcoin and altcoins are falling in almost the same proportion, I am not sure what this means, was the crash fabricated? Or are people selling bitcoin and their altcoins in the same proportion because they are getting completely out of the market? I do not know and it will be interesting to know if someone has a theory to explain what it is happening.

That was exactly my point and interrogation. And most notably since in previous market dumps, BTC was not falling in the same proportion as altcoins.
2 points that have been mentionned earlier and seem valid to me, and point out 2 market changes:
- Echanges offer more altcoins
- Stable coins, which now play the role of "refuge"

I'm still amazed how stable it is despite all these massive pumps and dumps

altcoin seems to be dictated by bitcoin, and they can't be as independent, so they are just following. this makes development less than maximum, so many altcoins are worthless

Perhaps the plunge in cryptocurrency in November is preparing for the bull market, which may be good news. But for future market uncertainty, bitcoin instability will help the bull market. The price of Bitcoin is the same as the price before the bull market last year.

Since the dump from 6500$ (and actually since sept.) btc dominance has been very stable, around 53%.
However it appears previous bear market phases always had an impact on the indicator.

How do you explains this at all?

Its too early making prediction. Its true that bitcoin market cap dominate more than 53% but i think its because most altcoin drop the price more than 90%. Hopely bitcoin price not drop again because many good news will come to market like BAKKT or ETF trade

Bitcoin went from 6500 to 5500
Then 5500 to 4200
Then 4200 to 3700
Since september BTC dominance remained the same (53%) which means BTC and the whole market fell proportionnaly which wasn't the case in previous dump phases. I wonder why and what that means.

This year has proven how cryptoenthusiats recognize bitcoin. With its price had fallen already by $15,000 from last year's price, investors are still accumulating their bitcoin by buying more and more. Its low price might be too attractive to investors believing its price will go up again.

The altcoins do not have a great use in real life, if the altcoins had practical use in real life then the dominance of bitcoin would be much smaller and the falls of prices of bitcoin would not affect much the altcoins, but the reality is that the altcoins are focused on solving the problems of the internet, nothing against this, but there are already over 2000 altcoins and more than 80% of these altcoins have the same purpose
Actually some do have real life applications... Take an example of Ethereum. it has proved to be so useful for startups unlike bitcoin. Bitcoins only application is payments and maybe trading.
The only reason BTC is so dorminant is because it is the Godfather of cryptocurrencies.

Its obvious that Bitcoin is not dominating because it was continue to decline together with the Altcoins therefore it is to early to conclude if the price is slightly bouncing back that it was not a dominance but rather just a trap so better observed very well the market before making a conclusion.

It was only a small stable period and now it is fluctuating again. Volatility is the nature of the crypto market and it can not go away. Once it's stabilized, it's a sign that it's going to have a big turning point.

The dominance will keep going down as the time passes, there are more and more altcoins being created and listed on coinmarketcap on a daily basis, so it should go down.
The marketcap gets distributed equally, and that is the reason of why in the end, bitcoin will lose dominance.

But it will all come back again as soon as another bullrun starts.

lately the dominance of Bitcoin is indeed quite stable, because altcoins such as XRP and ETH also experience huge price declines so they don't have much influence on the dominance of bitcoin.

Well, then bitcoin price drops by 1 to 2 Percent, the altcoin prices dip by 10 to 20 Percent. This means that bitcoin Dominance remains the same and currently it is above 50 percent for last many months. This is the reason we don't see any dip on BTC Dominance despite of decrease in prices.

I doubt this can continue for a long period of time, bitcoin is the biggest coin and it will always stay at number one for a long time unless something crazy happens but even with that in mind it is impossible to assume bitcoin dominance can be this high while everything else falls, whenever the prices go up it goes up higher for altcoins whereas it doesn't go up as fast for bitcoin.

For the biggest example bitcoin is around 4 thousand dollars right now and if it goes 5 times higher it will be at its all time high, whereas ethereum needs to go 15 times more than its price to be the all time high, nano needs to be 34 times higher to be all time high, there are ton of altcoins like that. Which means when the bull comes bitcoin breaks the all time high price followed by other coins doing the same, bitcoin dominance will fall drastically even tho price goes up.

It is a normal thing to expect people to be nervous at times like this. It is indeed a trial time for those who possibly entered the market late last year and obviously, there is always going to be that need to keep looking for ways to at least make it a lot easier when it comes to trying to put their mind in check. BTC dominance at this stage is not a bad thing nor a good thing per se, it is something that just happens based on the market movement, and flow of funds from bitcoin to altcoins to fiat and vice versa. So, in a way, it is not like BTC dominance being stable now means anything substantial.

Regulations is obviously going to end up bringing a huge bounce for this market, both in value and in maturity. The stable dominance is just something that is temporary anyway, because with the way things are going, I will in no doubt believe that this market obviously is something that will grow more than this over time, and a time will come when there will be a thug of competitive war among the altcoins for survival when it comes to that. Any country that is making it illegal probably have some skeletons in their wardrobe, and they simply feel it will get them a lot exposed, but do they really have much choice in the long run? I don't think so!

The decrease of the price is also termed as dip  .  bitcoin do still dominating compared to other cryptos because we can see that its value is still leading the charts despite the major dip that it experienced  .

However , there were still few countries that didnt legalize the use of cryptos and that makes the dominance of bitcoin became less and lesser  .

Overall we cant say that bitcoin is in stable dominance because there are also investors and hodlers that constatly sold their coins and that makes the price to go down in which it can still cause fluctuations or unstability  .

People have been made thinking about how important the dominance in market cap is, while it's not important at all. Is Ethereum less functional or less popular now it has been surpassed by XRP? Nope.

All the XRP fanboys were celebrating that it went above Ethereum, but for what? Did they win anything by that? They are so dumb, that they don't even understand that XRP has surpassed Ethereum more than once.

By the time Ethereum starts pumping again, it will greatly outperform XRP, which is usually underperforming when the rest of the market goes up. Years ago no one even cared about market caps, and now it's "law".

right, those who still survive certainly want the safest investment in coins, so they have a small risk and of course they will have the first chance to reach a high price among other coins, so even though the prices of all coins go down, bitcoin still dominates in terms of market cap

People trust Bitcoin more than even the best altcoins that are in the top-10. Therefore, BTC dominance is very high. In winter 2017, when tokens were growing fast, many guys invested and the main crypto dominance was 37-38%.

with the volume of bitcoin reaching 30% of the total volume, I think its bitcoin is difficult to pursue. so it is not surprising that bitcoin is the leader of other coins, so what happens to BTC will affect the development of other coins. when the BTC price falls, the other coins also fall and vice versa

Dominance is one way of looking at why bitcoin is not dropping as much as the others but also a way of looking why its not moving as fast as others when going up as well.

The deal is when you want to sell you sell your lets say xvg to bitcoin and bitcoin to dollar, which means your xvg only got a sell order, your bitcoin got a buy order AND a sell order, thats why bitcoin didn't dropped too much whereas xvg dropped a lot.

When people are getting out this is the reason why bitcoin is not dropping as fast as other coins. However when buying you spend dollars to buy bitcoin and SELL your bitcoin to buy xvg. Now your bitcoin got bought but also sold whereas your xvg only got bought.  It makes bitcoin not go as fast as your xvg. This logic has always applied on volatile days and will always be used no matter what.

I think that 2019 may bring many surprises when it comes to the market cap of many altcoins. I think that whether Bitcoin will maintain, increase or decrease its dominance will not depend only on its popularity. People have already learned that Bitcoin is not the only one on the market and I think that many altcoins can receive a lot of fresh funds that can change the balance of power in the whole cryptocurrency market cap.

Previously it wasn't the case. Dec 13 it fell from 96% to 87%. Strong movements in the markets pretty much always translated in a different dominance afterwards.

Note that the absolute value of btc dominance (53%), high/low, is not my point at all.
Also speculations on BTC aren't the point, it's only about understanding the current stability of btc dominance, if it has any meaning.

The increase of dominance of bitcoin is bad for the overall market, that means people are selling their alts and buying btc, but it's only a one way success. Just recently, the dominance has dropped a bit when there's a little pump, but when it dump again, the dominant easily increase.
Still, at above 50% dominance rate, I think the market is scary.

I think bitcoin dominance should be below 50% because if remain above 50%, its hard for altcoin to grow and cryptomarket too much depending on bitcoin movement
The increase of dominance of bitcoin is bad for the overall market, that means people are selling their alts and buying btc, but it's only a one way success. Just recently, the dominance has dropped a bit when there's a little pump, but when it dump again, the dominant easily increase.
Still, at above 50% dominance rate, I think the market is scary.

Its been many years now and yet bitcoin is still regaining dominance of the market , we can not deny for this because bitcoin is the top coin of the crypto market , and it is made as referrence of all the altcoin in the crypto market ,I think bitcoin will remain dominance for a long period of time until such time the ,other altcoin will rise and take over bitcoin.

No question on how Bitcoin still doing great in front of crypto crisis.  Many coins were dump drastically but Btc could manage to maintain on its place. Ripple will tried to pump up but isn't strong enough to catch btc on top.  This it means that still Btc is the most favorable pick among investors.

We all know that there's no coin out there that can challenge bitcoin's dominance, not even XRP. Surely its a coins for the bankers so it doesn't make sense at all for the coin to take over because of 'centralization'. However, people will say that dominance is not a good indicator, last 2017 bitcoin didn't even touch 50% at most months but the price keeps going up.

I think, if I consider, what I see on the https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage (https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage), the "Others" "price index" only on coinmarketcap.com, what producing
a stable growth since many years... All other "price index" loosing in the same time interval, BTC, ETH, XRP, IOTA, ... also... Interesting.

We should concentrate to new visions on the market maybe? i.e.:

https://i.imgur.com/2YEivRy.png

(( the Thread wasn't disturbed through Trolls - for a while sure.
   You can read the whole history up to this post (Why we need Charm, How will Vortexledger work without a "general" thing...) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4392525.msg49066619#msg49066619) undisturbed, I checked:
   Please read it - up to the post above. It contains important informations - I think. ))

What we targeted?

 - through a P2P Network (Network of "Cells") backed crypto - Charm. 100 Charm = 1 Kiss ... Kiss ("Csók" vagy "puszi" in hungarian language) is a "natural" physically form of our asset :) We accepts it :D already.
 - support of clear barter, a ledger (Vortexledger) without "general" equvalent - an economy - without moneysystem :D 
      ((A 'No' Money with a 'No' DB for our 'No' Republica ... For 'No' Nuclear - of course. To reserve our Gaia for our children. More can you read through links in the third post.)).
 - Charm will be a "multi"-ledger asset.
 - Dorothyum - a "multi"-ledger DApp - an auctionshaus for everything.
 - The DApp's on our economy will produce a revenue in Charm (or in tokenized things (i.e. oil, water, working power, ...) later). We will share this revenue
      - to the owners of Charm,
      - to the Custodian's in Cell's, (( a woman can take i.e. a colored stone or diamond ring from a man, and she can earn with it! The man also! :) ))
      - to Owner's in Cell's, and
      - to some Funds, acting for Gaia.
      - maybe for support and development with some Kisses :) also ...
 - As first, we choiched Byteball Ledger because
      - it is GREEN!!! No wasting of computing power!!!!!!
      - the new form of the Ledger (it based on DAG!!!),
      - the new form of smart contracts (more better as solidity...),
      - and the possibility for chat bot's
 ...

What is workig already?

 - Charm already listed on the Byteball Ledger's Exchange bot!!! You can buy it freely.
 - We backs Charm already through an Emerald. We "tonenize" this Emerald at this time - later we tokenize everything, what will be offered and accepted...
 - our testserver - yum (Amsterdam) already running
 - our first servers - thyum (Amsterdam), dorothy (Sydney) and toto (Toronto) running also

Its true that bitcoin dominance cryptomarket more than 50% and i think its because most altcoin drop the price more than 90%. Like ethereum, after the price reach highest at $1400, the price drop below $100 and ethereum dominance drop below 15%.
If this continue, i think its not good for altcoin growth because the project can not working well

Yes, at the moment the price of Bitcoin is very stable if we look after a sharp decline from $ 6400 to $ 3500, and now prices look positive to go back up, hopefully there will be no decline this year, only increases and increases.

Then you should wake up. It's impossible that no reds will be recorded. Remember, that how unstable this world is. Bitcoin's volatility is still present and will never leave. Though, everyone aims for that and being optimistic could really help to stay positive, but given the scenarios, events and etc. let's be more realistic.

be too early for speculation, I hope that after the holiday season, bitcoin will recover, I do not think it's a lot but at least 30% of this year's fall
I think holiday season doesn't play a big role for bitcoin. But it actually showed a little raise after Xmass. I doubt this year is going to be good for bitcoin. I do not talk about a phenomenal raise, I just wish to not see any lower number on the exchanger.

Since the dump from 6500$ (and actually since sept.) btc dominance has been very stable, around 53%.
However it appears previous bear market phases always had an impact on the indicator.

How do you explains this at all?

/edit: details
Since september Bitcoin went from $6500 to $5500
Then 5500 to 4200
Then 4200 to 3700
Then 3700 to 4300
Then 4300 to 3300

BTC and the whole cryptomarket are falling absolutely proportionately. It remains at 53%
Previously it wasn't the case. Dec 13 it fell from 96% to 87%. Strong movements in the markets pretty much always translated in a different dominance afterwards.

Note that the absolute value of btc dominance (53%), high/low, is not my point at all.
Also speculations on BTC aren't the point, it's only about understanding the current stability of btc dominance, if it has any meaning.
Bitcoin is volatile, are you not aware of that? You only talk about how far it has gotten down, do you also talk about how far it was able to go from the bottom (from a low price to $19,500)before the price started to decline. I was even thinking it would go below the $3000 mark, but luckily it didn’t. There is no need to complain about it, just stay calm and see what follows next, this year is probably going to be a better year.

The stability will be very low when comparing to the previous chat but it is not a standard thing we all know cryptocurrency will not stay in one place this will be there chance to make money so it is good but the value reduce things will be some tensions for lots of investors if it is come to normal then all problem will clear

Actually the dominance is not a good or bad sign for the crypto prices to be increased but it can shows that people were trusting bitcoin more than thousands of other crypto currencies available and it also can makes us to realize it can survive lot of  hard days which is not like other shit coins.

However, over time, the level of Bitcoin capitalization, that is, the level of its dominance over other types of cryptocurrency will inevitably decrease as the development of cryptocurrency. As more promising new coins appear, interest in Bitcoin will vseravno fall. This will especially happen if Bitcoin does not improve and maintain its competitiveness. The credibility of Bitcoin users cryptocurrency is not endless.

The dominance level is still very healthy, it allows for growth in the altcoin sector and for a better crypto market these altcoins need space to thrive. These alts offer much more than bitcoin and developers should be encouraged to continue their own blockchain projects

True,dominance do signifies on how strong a certain cryptocurrency it is and BTC is on the top of the chain after all these years which it do really gives a good sign that this would really be a good investment
for long term but well theres no assurance if it cant be replaced soon.ETH is on the next and followed by XRP. We would able to see if how long these dominance would sustain.

Yes now id is getting better and more people are buying so this is the reason again positive mode is on. I am sure this year we will not have to face any decline but the will be many increase because investors are increasing day by day so as we know the increase in number of investors is the increase in price automatically.

I like more on the price than the dominance because I did not focus in investing with bitcoin alone, altcoins has also some great potential.
And with the big dominance rate of bitcoin, it makes altcoins hard to grow, I like to go back on a 30 -40 % dominance, that way alts have more room to grow.

If we look at the entire period of the development of the cryptocurrency market, we will see a tendency towards a constant decrease in the level of Bitcoin dominance over other types of cryptocurrencies. This decrease is characterized by lowering the bitcoin capitalization level. This is apparently a natural process. as other types of cryptocurrency are developing, which take a significant part of the investment. Apparently, this trend will continue. It is likely that the time will come when Bitcoin may lose its price dominance. After that, the market will begin to work entirely on new principles.

When it comes to Bitcoin dominance then theres no doubt that no alts would able to surpass it out but there are times which they are mostly tied up with ETH on previous years when it comes
to dominance percentage but eventually the market twist up again and arranging for us to see that who's boss on the entire crypto market.Seeing dominance do really put some confidence yet

It has been around 50-54% percent for more than 8 months. Not sure if it is a bull indicator but last time when the bull trend started the dominance went to 37%. In a mature market, BTC dominance should be around 5% (similar to gold dominance among the fiat market).

We will never know what will happen to the market if the dominance will drop at that level.
Maybe that time bitcoin will be hard to manipulate since some coins are already taking a good percentage in dominance.
Now, bitcoin is still at more or less 50% dominant rate, as it fluctuates.

I agree, currently bitcoin is still dominant, so every move will be followed by other coins. but if the market has spread, it will be difficult for bitcoin to influence other coins, but whether that will happen, I don't think anyone knows yet, because bitcoin will still retain its influence

actually bitcoin will always dominate and maybe not there will be an altcoin that can replace the dominance of bitcoin, if it gets to bitcoin until it is replaced,
there may be an imbalance in terms of price or community, so bitcoin must still dominate

No matter what the price will be, as long as the price didn't go up or down quickly as much so that online businesses with bitcoin as payments will not lose to volatility, is good. Even if bitcoin will be price at $3,000 and below, if such increase or decrease are not hourly or daily, bitcoin will be used without hesitation and can be stored or be used  like a real currency.

The market fell, but the trading volume of Bitcoin accounted for about 55% of the entire Cryptocurrency market. Even when the market thrives, Bitcoin still accounts for about 60% of the total supply of total market volume. Bitcoin is always in perpetual existence even when the market is terrible or growing. We believe Bitcoin can change all in the future and its trading volume is increasing.

Only 5  to 10 cryptos were following the prices of bitcoin? I guess all the cryptos which are traded just follow the trend of bitcoin and that is the reason why dominance has increased from the last year.But still price of bitcoin was low compared to its dominance level on the market so in the current bull run we may see less dominance and increasing in the prices.

The op has really speculate this market to some extent and to me he has said something that will happen in future and that has happened.  Att lest bitcoin has go as low as $3200 in December last year.  We are going to see this bitcoin dominance for long and it will be very difficult to bring bitcoin down or any coins compete with it in future.  The dominance is still around 53% and I think it means majority of the coins that flow into cryptocurrencies market,  flow to bitcoin and that is why when bitcoin is growing,  other coins will follow and if it is getting dump other coins are also dumping too.

During bear markets bitcoin tends to gain dominance and the opposite happens during the bull run.  Expect these altcoins to go crazy once again during the next bullrun.  Some people even think the BTC-ETH flippening will eventually happen.

Where did you find that ratings? Many speculations tend to be positive in bitcoin. Since, in the past few years, bitcoin creates an impossible thing we might not expect. However, 2018 is not a year for bitcoin because of the market condition. There are million dollars that pulled from the market by whales which I do not know the cause. But one thing I know, they will return it again once the rally will start.

I have seen the same pattern before, this is nothing new. When bitcoin goes up, the alts go up. When bitcoin goes down, the alts go down. Bitcoin being stronger, pulls them all around, but them on their own being weaker, won't pull bitcoin very much. Of course within this pulling and pushing, their relative prices fluctuate and this is where some traders make profits from. The simple delay can signal them.

But yes in time bitcoin price is going to fluctuate less, we are talking about decades here so don't get too much expectation. Do note that "stable" doesn't mean 1:1 with the USD, they are naturally going the opposite direction in more predictable rates. You know they like to inflate the USD at or near 2% per year, so that's the very least BTC should be gaining against it. Any coin pegged to the USD is also artificially inflating with them (as with all fiats).

You can clearly see the increase of value in bitcoin's life, this looks like a logarithmic curve, it goes up very fast in the beginning but tends to slow down with time. The opposite is the exponential curve as always seen with hyperinflation, starts very slow and goes up faster and faster later...

Around one year back, the Bitcoin dominance was around 33% and a lot of users and analysts were predicting that ETH or some other crypto-currency will be toppling Bitcoin from the no.1 position within the near future. And then came the correction. Bitcoin lost almost 80% of its value, but the other coins lost even more. For example, Cardano lost more than 95% of its value.

One possible explanation is that the alts were heavily over-priced and as a result they crashed quite a bit during the correction. Or it can also mean that the alts have underwent a severe correction and they are currently under-priced.

   The dominance level is still very healthy, it allows for growth in the altcoin sector and for a better crypto market these altcoins need space to thrive. These alts offer much more than bitcoin and developers should be encouraged to continue their own blockchain projects


   Bitcoin dominance will drop down on day after day next years ,  marketcap will grow up continuously, some of altcoins will out of circulation and lots of of them will grow up more and more.  While the marketcap is divided by coin, bitcoin will loss dominance little by little. it won't be too fast and suddenly.

   Bitcoin will loss its dominance but i think it never loss against another altcoin. It will continue to be the flagship for a long time

No matter what the price will be, as long as the price didn't go up or down quickly as much so that online businesses with bitcoin as payments will not lose to volatility, is good. Even if bitcoin will be price at $3,000 and below, if such increase or decrease are not hourly or daily, bitcoin will be used without hesitation and can be stored or be used  like a real currency.
If BTC is already having like 60% market dominance, then what is left of other coins will be 10%, because the remaining 20% are either shitcoins and should not be counted as part of the market, even though their own marketcap too is reflecting on the marketcap site.

Bitcoin as a coin is really more than enough to solve any problem all these projects may have taught off, they just need to give their space completely to bitcoin so that we can achieve crypto adoption fully. If all attention in the market is focused on BTC now, it will be easier to gain attention of government quickly.

Oh yeah,,, that was the Flippening, but was that not in 2017 and not last year? What does dominance matter in market cap overall anyway when it is diluted by the likes of Tether or XRP which nobody uses practically? You have to still see dominance in terms of blockchain activity, for example, how many transactions, how much spends to unique addresses,,, things like that.

It has been around 50-54% percent for more than 8 months. Not sure if it is a bull indicator but last time when the bull trend started the dominance went to 37%. In a mature market, BTC dominance should be around 5% (similar to gold dominance among the fiat market).

Bitcoin will always dominate the other cryptocurrencies. Simply (and here you are right) when bulls come and people start buying other altcoins, these tokens "take" a part of BTC popularity and its dominance decreases.

the increase in bitcoin seemed to signal a rise in other altcoins. and we know that sometimes an increase in altcoin can exceed the percentage increase in bitcoin. of course taking advantage of this opportunity is highly anticipated by investors

I still don't feel the increase of altcoins, maybe it will have its time when investors are fully convince that bitcoin is already bullish and might achieve a new all time high. As for now, based on what I noticed, only major altcoins had increase, and I can only count them which are less than 10, only BCH and BNB are doing good lately.

Regarding the dominance of Bitcoin, I completely agree with you. Over time, Bitcoin will inevitably lose such dominance, otherwise the development of the market will come to a dead end. After several periods of price fluctuations, when investors are convinced that there will be no cosmic prices for Bitcoin, the price dominance of Bitcoin will inevitably fall.
In the future, there should be no price dominance in the cryptocurrency market. Due to the fact that many types of cryptocurrencies will develop simultaneously, there should be quite a lot of applicants for leadership and none of them will be able to reach the heights of Bitcoin popularity already.

right now the cryptocurrency price condition at the exchange is very stable because the economic condition of the market is not crowded, it is different when the market conditions start to crowded so the coin will move very fast or even unstable because the market is bull market and do not know when it can happen again.

Bitcoin indeed even falling with its current value still dominating the market, Alts still struggling and still don't have any clear directions.
Though it's still good to see that bitcoin still raging and getting good sign of momentum, the market as a whole  still depending with how
bitcoin runs, everything still possible just need to keep yourself updated in order not to fall with wrong decisions.
