Critically observing the rate at which bitcoin value is low at this time, I now imagined how low other altcoin will be by now,even with bitcoins superiority. What is your view?

It all depends on Bitcoin. Its capitalization rules the market, and as we see its fall, although critical for other coins, it did not kill the market.

I think Bitcoin will be the major driver of any recovery. We need to watch BTC price movements closely, particularly historic support levels and any psychologically important thresholds. $5k is the next big one going up.

This stands true for most altcoins, but not for all. Some have their own micro-economy and seem to stay somewhat detached of Bitcoin.
Of course, 2018 got the money out from all the crypto scene, so all have fallen. And when the money will flow back, some will rise back. But again, not necessarily related to Bitcoin.

Well, of course, some projects are developing. When they start making profits within their ecosystem, neither bitcoin nor the ether will affect the price of their assets.
But until now, all assets are affected by herds of hamsters looking at BTC.

I am not a crypto expert even though investing in crypto, according to my observation during investment in crypto, altcoin value depends on the movement of bitcoin, therefore if bitcoin strengthens at least the altcoin also strengthens because bitcoin is still the king of crypto

true that every altcoin is affected in bitcoin performance .especially if bitcoin value gradually decreasing and experience massive declined which surely all alts will turn to red suddenly like what happened nowadays. And for sure it will be fine again unless if bitcoin getting value and become green again. 

It does not have to be that when the Bitcoin value increases, the altcoins value will decrease. If you look at it, over the last weeks the value of altcoins increases at the same moment in which the Bitcoin value increases. I think that the details of each project will be more important during valuation than position relative to the price of Bitcoin.

This can be considered as the bottom of bitcoin but there was a chance for the price to go even lower but remember i never think if the price of bitcoin will go even lower than this rate. Altcoin which offers product can survive.

No need to worry that all altcoins will die. Altcoins tend to increase the cost much more than BTC. But some altcoins  probably won't be able to rise. This is a natural selection and fraudulent projects.

Everyone sees bitcoin as the main one and it makes bitcoin the center of increase for all altcoins, so if we still see bitcoin at a low price then other altcoins are also difficult to rise.

Not all altcoins have decreased, there are several coins that have increased. but this is not a problem because when the price of bitcoin increases, the satoshi value will increase and that will make the exchange rate against bitcoin change. I don't mind the price of the altcoin Rates decreasing because I focus on the development of bitcoin. for me that when bitcoin experiences positive rates, it will slowly open up the market. it takes time to reach that phase and we have to be patient.

If we see another bull run like 2017, the bitcoin dominance will go lower and the altcoin prices will gain from this.
Until then, almost all altcoins will suffer from the great bitcoin dominance.

Bitcoin is the standard of every altcoins prices its not a surprise if altcoins prices are dragged by Bitcoins price fluctuations. Seeing altcoins gaining while Bitcoin's price is down is a good sign of growth and its an advantage because once the price of Bitcoin will go up again potential profits in return.

the market itself is never going to die. there will always be a lot of altcoins in it to be traded because people will always want to make profit. and also there will eventually be better altcoins too.

as for depending on bitcoin i have to say it is a false assumption. we have seen before the bitcoin recoveries creates some upward movement in altcoins but it won't lead to much else. they still need to be individually pumped to go back up again. and they can do that without bitcoin while bitcoin rise doesn't guarantee their pumps.

List goes on and on here https://www.coingecko.com/en
if you are lucky you can scoop some hidden gems that will raise later, or make small profit from the tiny volatility. but becareful with getting burnt

Although altcoin has its own space, their prices have a standard size with bitcoin, like the dollar as standardization of world money. At the moment bitcoin will move at $ 3700 but if it fails it will drop at $ 2800, so how bad for the altcoin price depends on how bad the price of bitcoin is. But when altcoins have different standardization values, for example with fiat or gold. Then their value will depend on fiat and gold.

My point of view based on stable position for altcoins supporting. Bitcoin just slowly dying now. And I think it will not be grait again instead of such altcoins like Ethereum, Ripple or other.

the value of alts in this today market is very bad, most of the time the value of alts depends on the price of bitcoin. Very few alts in the market has their own track of price like CHT. That is also the reason why many alts to be release got postponed because of the price issue in todays market.

Can you point out which altcoin is going to increase its price more than BTC? Currently bitcoin is dominant in this market and the prices is untouchable for any others even if the price of bitcoin is bottomed out now.All altcoins is not going to die but most of them will eventually by days passes.

Price of Altcoins mainly depends on BTC and this trend will continue in 2019 also. Since the price of BTC itself is very much down, same pattern is followed by altcoins. There are only few altcoins that have the potential to go up, rest majority are useless coins.

Altcoins rise and fall more than Bitcoin because they have a smaller market capitalization. You have to invest more money into Bitcoin than into altcoin to cause the growth.
Altcoins are more risky but could be more profitable.

The prices of all altcoins are so low that only abandoned projects will lose value. The prices of coins that have potential will increase with the price of Bitcoin. The situation may be reversed only at the moment of start fast bull run.

Bitcoin , the major of any recovery , every one sees bitcoin as the main one and it makes bitcoin the center of all altcoin .

When bitcoin rises, alts rise even faster. But when it dumps, shitcoins go to 0. With the exception of chainlink the entire top 50 is in the red this past 6 months.
And we're in a long bear market, so alts will continue bleeding.

This fall did not kill the market, but it affected altcoins very much. Altcoins will be a long time to recover from such a collapse. But we can safely say that those altcoins that will survive this situation will be worthy and good. Weak coins are unlikely to stay afloat.

I think other altcoin are still in shape though is pretty bad there is still high chances of survival for most of them and maybe ones BTC dominance in some exchange is reduced especially in the pairing perspective we might see a positive change for sure

The value of alt coin is pretty bad, a lot of coins value already fall down to bottom, and the investors first choice won't be alt coin, Bitcoin little rising won't give too many affect for alt coin, so it can be considered that the market for alt coin is still in a bad shape

yeah, it's too risky to invest in Altcoin because the average value Altcoin on the market is very unpleasant to look at. I think investors' main choice is Bitcoin because they know that them to will get multiple profits if Bitcoin can reach $ 20K again. it's been almost a year passed since the beginning of the fall of the price of Bitcoin / Altcoin, until now the value of Altcoin on the market is still in a bad condition.

The value of the altcoin is indeed determined by altcoin. if the bull has started, the value of the altcoin is likely to be very influential and may rise very high

bitcoin has changed the prices of other altcoins to be down. maybe now there are so many altcoins that have decreased altcoin price values, but there are still a number of potential altcoins such as eth, neo cardano and litecoin to serve as alternative choices.

If the influence of Bitcoin on the market is so great, and what else can you expect from the alts with its decrease or increase. Their real value is much better, but this dependence does not reveal them.

When time comes,some of this alts will be independent to using Bitcoin’s blockchain anymore and will use their own platform. Its due to fiat transactions are still anew to crypto adoption that is why the top coins in CMC are still supported yet.

Surprisingly it is alts like litecoin that is driving the recovery prices. Bitcoin has remained flats for a long time, perhaps waiting for the etf to be approved, they hate volatility

in the development of any crypto currency and altcoin even though no one can know for certain the future predictions because it has become a risk in his investment so if those who say bad altcoins are indeed currently experiencing a very drastic decline

A couple of alts are actually doing quite well in this btc bear market. If you look at the alts tron and the bittorent token actually had a pretty strong january. Probably just hype but i'm feeling confident about btt. Everyone who had internet connection in the 90s and early 2000's are pretty aware of what bittorrent is and that could give this alt a big boost moving forward.

Bitcoin is the king so what ever happens to itt, that's happens too the altcoins. But if you are trader you willl noticed that sometimes they have coin that not follow to bitcoin like it will increase and sometimes it will decrease. The cause of the altcoins increasing in the year 2017 because of the bitcoin pump very high so mostly the cost of decreasing value because of the bitcoin but not 100 percent.

Its sad but its true. Altcoins do really relly on Bitcoins price; if Bitcoin is down so are this altcoins. If only people will realize the other great platform of other each altcoins also that will help them on their day to day life transactions.

It's sad that bitcoin falls, so altcoin also follows and this is the worst. Altcoin is not able to develop on its own and continues to be influenced by the development of bitcoin. But there must be a good time for the increase in bitcoin so that the coin will also improve, only time will give goodness later.

how the value of Bitcoin is going on will not be a better for us but low investment also been not well in this situation so we need to be more careful in this situation because Bitcoin is always travelling in this situation so no other investment is also been struggling to get forward.

Right now the price of altcoins is still influenced by the BTC price. This influence used to be much heavier in 2018, but this trend will change with the course of the years. 2019-2020 will see altcoin development separately from BTC price.

the current value and price of bitcoin remains the best to date but it is possible that no one can know for sure the development of the crypto currency whatever your beliefs and patience are absolute capital in investment

maybe not only does the altcoin experience a drastic decline or freefall even bitcoin experiences that for now our conviction and patience are needed for now in its development

The influence of bitcoin is still too big, it is true that coins can still move independently but if a big move happens in bitcoin regardless of the direction you can be sure that many altcoins will respond to this movement and will begin to move in the same direction, however since I do not expect movements too big for bitcoin during this year this will give us the chance to multiply our bitcoin when an altcoin goes through an important development of its technology and its price begins to go up.

Most altcoins as I also observe, they are relying on bitcoin if I am not mistaken, but some altcoins are increasing even if bitcoin is not recovering. We can also check coinmarketcap to check the market and all coins on how they go up and down.

You don't need to imagine how other altcoins value will be by now, you can just go to the market or go to coinmarketcap and see the value they are now. Must altcoin dropped not because of the dump in btc but because they were supposed to drop.

Most of the altcoins today have no real market value except some few like EOS, ETH, NEO and BCH which have proven underwise.

Didn't it happen beforehand and the risk of investing was also great and the price and value we could not predict with certainty of confidence and patience that would make the altcoin grow well

To my mind altcoins have a good value and potential is enormous!
Just invest in some of them, create portfolio and finally you will be rewarded for that!

yes, it cannot be denied that the prices of altcoins tend to still follow the movements of bitcoin, if the altcoin price is low once it is reasonable, at least they still continue to struggle to survive in a bad market and we can see when the market conditions improved lately the price has slowly increased slightly.

Bitcoin has actually gone too low and that means we are having this first quarter of the year too low again for the altcoins market.  Many of this Cryptocoins may not recover and some of them will go into extension in some years to come.

This is a very difficult method for Altcoin. All values of Altcoin are very low and even a lot of Altcoin are dead. This is the impact of the decline in the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Every time I invest in Altcoin, I always do research first. If you can get Altcoin that has potential in the market, of course, it's very good.

I have already managed to make sure that in the current state of the cryptocurrency market any analysis will not give a 100% guarantee of success or accurate information about the Project. Based on this, the risk will always be present, which means that it will be all the same to risk your own funds.

Altcoins price move with how bitcoin price is moving in the crypto market. It is clear that altcoins will have very low value now because it is not a good time for many to invest because they want bitcoin to bottom out before they get in.

Very low, I got a lot of tokens specifically ETH tokens, and I can't look at my portfolio because it's hurting my eyes.
My last looked, my portfolio was down at least 90% and that will hurt a typical investor who don't understand the crypto market trend.
Though it's bad but I still don't loss my hope, we can be up 10 times or even 100 times so if we see the opposite, let's just accept it, it will not stay forever.

That is good chance because the value of altcoin and bitcoin is currently low in price, so this moment must be utilized as well as possible, by buying favourite coins at low prices like now, then this is very good for profit later

we can use this situation if our capital does not stop at assets that have decreased. like me, all of my capital has been trapped in several assets that have decreased, which forced me to hold the assets that I have longer. and now I have to find more capital to start it all.

Optimize for a better thing, let your coins stay and go back to add coins so that your assets increase, and later you will reap good results. The crypto future will be good if we are able to manage it wisely and good opportunities are always there.

I also think the current altcoin price is indeed quite low, so there are many traders who are trapped when they buy when the price is high, maybe for some traders whose money is still stuck on a coin, they cannot take this good opportunity to buy cheap coins , because it has run out of amount

Though most altcoins are critically low now but Funny at it may sound, sometimes, the altcoins are not completely depending on bitcoin even though Bitcoin holds the largest market share for now, bitcoin might be low in value while other altcoins will shoot up.

Early last year, I lost about 14000 usd out of greed when suddenly most of my altcoins increased from the value of 1500 to about 14000usd even when bitcoin was low though it was on consolidation.. Most altcoins rises when bitcoin is consolidating, so bitcoin having low value doesn’t mean altcoins can’t rise without it, they can only give more value when they rise along with it.

yes that's the risk of trading crypto. I've experienced that, and now I don't trade for a long time. I trade daily, where in one day I have to make a small profit. so that my capital is not stuck on some assets.

low means good for you to buy more altcoins than waiting by thinking it or here by watching the market, in your opinion is low but I think altcoin is still expensive to buy if using bitcoin but low if using fiat yeah all altcoins are cheap compared to the last 2017

If you see there value of other cryptocurrencies with price of bitcoin other have fallen very much than bitcoin so what time is actually more valuable than any other cryptocurrencies they have. I don't really calculate the value of bitcoin based on current market situation just hold it longer you will know the real value in few years.

yes you are right the value of the Bitcoin will not be good in this market then people will not trust any other currency it will affect the value of other cryptocurrency to discuss Bitcoin is the most trustable currency by all of us that's why this problem will happen.

There are a few coins that have expanded. in any case, this isn't an issue since when the cost of bitcoin builds, satoshi's esteem will increment and that will make the conversion scale against bitcoin change. I wouldn't fret the cost of the altcoin Rates diminishing on the grounds that I center around the improvement of bitcoin. for me that when bitcoin encounters positive rates, it will gradually open up the market. it requires investment to achieve that stage and we must be persistent.

ALTs are often more volatile than BTC due to thinner markets. This is one reason why they often suffer more during a bear market. But those low cap projects that are high quality could well rise more in percentage tersm than BTC in the next bull market.

In these videos you can see how the Biforex bot manipulates the prices of tokens listed on the exchange by dropping the prices of these tokens.

Most of the altcoins are in bad shape price wise and that do not mean there are not going to do well in future.  I think cryptocurrencies market is doing a hard reset and we should expect it to resume it upwards movement any moment from now.

they will slowly come to 0 value.
there are nearly 2000 coins in market today. nearly 1750 of them will get 0 value in 3 years. dont waste your money in altcoins.

They will never be in zero value, devs are still looking at the value, with the bear market, most devs did not pursue on aggressive marketing.
I believe they relax and this time but could probably start to be active when seeing people are again ready to invest.

Lower price of bitcoin the lower price for altcoins. The value depends on what's the importance of that altcoin and if there's something that makes it more valuable then it's price is likely to skyrocket.
It's more of every coin that has decent value for the moment, they are likely to skyrocket within the next bull run. Yes, including those low quality projects, as I've noticed from last bull run most of them does.

As the BTC grows, altcoins also grow. because most altcoins are paired with BTC. You should also understand that the market affected by the economic recession and the prices of the coins cannot increase sharply in a short time. You should be more patient. ;D

Not all of us have such thing patience, sometimes we fall into discouragement but we also to think about our future. 
Altcoins makes a hard move  since last year but it something there is a light along their way seeing that little pumps in the market.  We cant think that it is all about the preparation for coming bull run cause it is not enough to bring crypto into such huge hikes. We need huge support from the community.

Bitcoin is the ruling community of crypto platform so once panic sellers are increase in Bitcoin investment, Automatically other altcoins holders also join the chain so we should stop the continuous dump. But Bitcoin growing is one the right direction for Crypto traders so we should buy more Bitcoin in this dip it will make good return.

No, it all depends on the market and the traders who do trade with those altcoins. Bitcoin is just a guide to the traders for most altcoins that they have to move according to the price trend of Bitcoin that's why some altcoins follow what's the trend of Bitcoin. It is not that bad at all as long as there are people who do buy and sell for most altcoin.

Not all altcoins depend on bitcoin. More precisely, some of them are much less dependent. Of course, it is mainly bitcoin that determines the movement of the market, but I noticed that there are some altcoins that do not follow it.

Really bad for those shitcoins because they are dying now. Though if you just look with the top coins, I think its a better opportunity to buy more because of a cheap price. If the price gets lower, then we have to celebrate a little since we can buy more bitcoin and top altcoins.

Bitcoin being the base crypto in the cryptoworld, it is already expected that altcoins' market value is dragged down whenever bitcoin falls down too. That's the very reason everyone who are holding until 2017 when bitcoin's price rises drastically because their altcoins rise significantly too.

You are absolutely right, there is a similarity and in turn is a dependency that exists between Bitcoin and the Altcoins, otherwise the possibility that the survival altcoins have is that they always depend on Pump and Dump.

No chance for them as they are in the bear, but when it's bullish time, they might come alive, we've seen that many times in the past.
I hope the next time the market will be bullish, things would change and people will be smarter, buying shitcoins gives bad image for the market as we cannot avoid the newbies to get FOMOd in coins that will pump and some of them might not be able to do some research.

the market reality is like that, there is a relationship between bitcoin and altcoin. maybe now bitcoin is still not moving, the altcoin hasn't experienced any improvement. they only rely on the movements of their default updates, if there is an increase it will last a very short time.

Not only that but there are lot of coins who really doesn't have that ability to elevate the price because the dev's completely stop their roadmaps and schedules. So the true potential if any has been hindered by the people behind the coins.

The value of altcoins has been severely affected by the unstable economy and experts predict that in the future, the price of altcoins will decrease.
But don't be too pessimistic, any market is affected by a bad economy. who also lost money and it is important that people who earn more money in bad markets. ;)

I think we need to watch bitcoin first before any investment will happen. Bitcoin is the key of all altcoins price increase bitcoin price will affect the crypto world.

Relaxing and waiting for Bitcoin to do their job for them ?
How will they even encourage more investors if the project they get themselves involved with does not have much activities, project without activities no matter how low the market price is will definitely fail. I don’t think majority of them even believe so much in the power of their projects because if they do, they will work had and not just wait for investors to suddenly jump from the sky and commit their money in a redundant project

So it has been so far. It is not necessary that this will continue in the future. I think that will be so. Some projects will start to make a profit and become self-sufficient.

it doesn't matter bro as long the coin still showing potential no need to worry about it even though it's cheap .in fact it's a big opportunity to accumulate while the market still sleeping rather than waiting for nothing just making doubts and etc. be practical bro and also be thankful that you still have opportunity to become profitable in the future.

The value of other good altcoins are also been troubling a lot it is not been explainable by anyone how it has been affected to develop so when Bitcoin is also been in the critical stage that will be the same problem happen if you're the only way to develop altcoin is to develop Bitcoin

definitely the value of all the altcoin and Critical situation because we all know the bear market will not been developed to a good position this will be the main problem that happened to all the cryptocurrency is not to develop quickly but it is not stable also you can expect some changes in quicktime .

For now it's bad but that would not be the care in the future because eventually a recovery will take place.
When BTC is down, altcoins are also down, we have seen that many times in the past and the trend keeps going but we should not stop because we see that, it's just part now of the price movement and the best timing we are looking is the bullish run, which I think is just around the corner.

Not all altcoins are depending on Bitcoin price right now, some of altcoin already got their own fiat pair in some exchanges. And it makes them less dependent to Bitcoin. The real case happens recently when Bitcoin price is falling down for about 3-5%, other altcoins like Litecoin (LTC) and Binance Coin (BNC), their price increase for about 10%, and you can find some other small altcoin that the price is increased.

The only thing can change the bearish market by creating a lot of good news to make FOMO. But this time it looks like miners will try to join in the crypto again. this will give a good impact to the price of altcoin.

indeed bitcoin is one of the main factors that drives price movements for altcoins but some altcoins don't depend on the price of bitcoin if you really want to invest you should see how the altcoin develops

I agree with your view also. Almost all altcoins specially tokens been dependent to Bitcoin’ s pricerun really we cant deny that since bitcoin’s superiority and been the means of way of payment indirect to fiat ever since.

But at this time only a number of projects have been unsatisfactory and in my opinion there must be a change and for that then we have to do a new project proposal.

with the current low bitcoin prices the altcoin price is low and this is very influential with all altcoin prices. I think this is natural because the market is still dependent on bitcoin.

A new projects again, why do we have to come up with a new project at this time that the market is not good, of what effect will new project have on the market rather than push the market further to a bearish trend, what makes a project go towards a POSITIVE TREND, is it not by the community behind such project and their investment ?

Instead of new project, why not embrace ones that are good and already existing so that there can be more money to push those ones up and more activities on them for us to see the bull run on time.

I think how low bitcoin will allow itself to fall so low and other coins can fall. Unfortunately, almost all of them depend on bitcoin and only it determines the direction of the market.

it is undeniable that if you look at the current altcoin value which has lost a lot of its price compared to experiencing a very deep drop and many altcoins that have no price at all, the altcoin movement has tended to still follow the price of bitcoin want when the price of bitcoin falls the price of altcoin also follows it.

both bad and developing altcoins or other crypto currencies because the development of crypto currencies depends on the investor's own beliefs and patience is the capital to invest in crypto currencies

It cannot be denied, most of altcoins holders now are not happy with the value of their holdings, some just loss almost 100% of the value.
This is not the time to panic, if you believe that the team are still capable of developing the project, the time will come the market will recover and their coins will regain its value, it's not new, bearish sentiment is always here when the market is bearish.

For now, Altcoin is slowly starting to rise. And this I see because a lot of Exchange has increased trading volume. Bitcoin encourages all Altcoin to grow, but of course, the market will easily change up and down. The price changes that currently occur frequently in my opinion still make sense.

God day! Since the drop of the bitcoin value since last year, some of my altcoins had lost their value totally. I don't know if it will recover or totally forgotten. I regret not selling them when their value is still ok.

https://www.coingecko.com/en?view=all_time_high this page is probably enough to scare you

I can feel you completely, you are not alone on this most of us who hold feels the bad price of our portfolio.

Just forget looking at your coins for awhile, but never loss your faith that it will recover.
You know your coins very well and you know if they are legitimate or not, if they can still proceed with developing the project, I'm sure those coins will recover.

I feel you, as I also have some bounties where I wasn't able to sell when it still have some value, now everything got stuck inside my wallet
without any idea if the developers will come back and bring some updates to their projects, after this bear season we never know what will
happen to this entire market, nothing to do but to hold and hope.

Maybe now we can do just that. holding assets that we have and wait until market conditions make price increases. because now the ability of the platform is also not much to engender investor response, we have to wait longer.

Well, we try not to panic, but the problem now is the alarming rate at which a lot of coins are coming into the market to share the same community which some are with shitcoins and since the crypto’scommunity’s growth is still a bit low and BTC being the most recognized coin even when new person decides to join the market.

The survival of even most of those good project is shaky,It means most of the altcoins are only good for trading and not long term project since they only depend on BULL RUN to rise and crash back to BEARISH market after the BULL.

We can't deny that sometimes we might affected our emotions especially seeing our portfolio not moving up instead it going to down. But we should to realize also that by doing panic selling won't give us good but to end up losing. Thus, patient will be the keep and give time to the market to recover and make it better. We should have to control our feelings and think wisely.

If, in this case, you are losing more with trading, of course waiting is the best choice. Be busy with your main business for a while until you are able to survive, and when the prices get better, you will not need to do anything, coins you hold will bring profit.

we are still waiting, maybe we should be extra patient in this wait, and until now most altcoins are not moving to follow the pattern of bitcoin prices and tend to be 70% of which there is no trading volume at all

There are coins which have reduced drastically and I think it is because people are selling their crypto for fiat due the long term market situation and then come back when things change. I have witnessed a lot of altcoins go to their ATLs this year and this is due to the fact that the bear market has stayed for a very long time.

before starting to invest with crypto and altcoin currencies is that already a risk in investing with crypto currencies or altcoins by knowing the risks and what investors get will have considerable confidence and with the poor development of crypto currencies investors will have patience and confidence in investation

Precisely, the long stay of bear affects the condition of almost all the alts inside the market, though some of known coins are also trying to bounce
alongside with bitcoin,  the sad truth value still far from the last time ATH and investors and traders are trying to minimize the risk of losing more
so they are observing before trying to place an entry again.

Traders are limited, but new coins and tokens and a lot of exchanger that spread a lot maybe make low volume trading at them. Maybe will be good if trading activity have central exchanger that really have big volume trading in there.

Bitcoin is not alone the strong building foundation of crypto market. There are some altcoins that working so hard to be competitive enough for being a contender. See enj, its not about hype but the news we heard about partnership with Samsung building a support to them. Btc dumping but not them? So where is the part that everything depend on bitcoin?

This also has a great effect on the coin value there were lots of coins that has been release day by day but the exposure of the previous coins are fading and traders give a way to the new coins in the market because maybe they found out that they will be able to earn from it.

This is where most people actually get this wrong; they are looking at it in the aspect of exchange forgetting the fact that each of the coins has their own different project and way the project work.

I understand they both need  one another because most coins requires deposit of BTC or ETH  before it can be converted to their own coin and this is the same way BTC needs those coins too because without their existence too, there won’t be any request for BTC deposit which has even in turn help BTC growth better.

reasonable for me when all altcoins are declining at the moment , market conditions are very bad I think this is the right moment to buy a definite altcoin

indeed the right time to buy coins is when the coin price is falling but you have to know when the condition of the coin price falls then it cannot guarantee that the coin price movements will stop at that number, because the possibility of falling deeper can also occur and that can say as trading risk.

Low volume is a big risk if we invest in tokens or coins whose volume is quite low because the market interest in the altcoin is not large and if possible we avoid investing like that because it clearly can harm us

low volume that also rely on the market project. If you have a market with a high purchase value it could just make the price go up, but most of all it takes a long time, because the development process of their own platform takes a very long time.

one way or another, the whole value of the project depends first of all. Here is its relevance in society and its possible practical application. And nevertheless, Well, users of cryptocurrency watch the capitalization of a particular coin in order to make their choice for investment.

Of course, you need to do a very thorough technical analysis when choosing an ico company for investment. But also in the selection of coins in the cryptocurrency market, one must also take into account very many factors. K even if you make a choice among all existing lightcoins, that is, the assumption that more than half of all altcoins will become irrelevant in the near future.

some of my coins decreased to 1/100 of itself.
i bought blue and dove with my 3000 dollar last january. not they are 30 dollar in total.
it was reallt bad experience for me for trusting altcoins

You are not alone, because I believe that by 2018 many people experience the same thing as you,
indeed there are still many who think that the value of altcoin so far is very dependent on the value of bitcoin, because until now bitcoin is still recorded to dominate the market with a percentage of more than 50%.

As you can see ATH of bitcoin almost $20000 but now its just $3800-$4000 value which is really bad for altcoins and if bitcoin suffer the more with altcoins so lets all just hope that bear market will end soon .

Even though the overall market sentiment influences the majority of coins, some of them remain resilient. Think of Verge, for instance. With new partnerships its price surged despite a general negativity in the last two years. As for XRP, many crypto experts (https://www.getex.com/blog/ripple-xrp-price-prediction-forecast-2019-2020) are bullish about its near future.

Some of the project in market are developing , they almost start making profit within their ecosystem neither bitcoin nor the other coins will affect the prices of the coins. It does not mean when the value of bitcoin decreases it is assure the value of alt coin will increase. All this phenomena depends on the graph scenario curve.

actually not only can follow the price of bitcoin. some good altcoins have plans for their pumps. some events that have been planned sometimes make altcoin can pump their own.
altcoin from every platfrom should think of such a way and not just assume and hope that if bitcoin rises then their prices will rise and continue to blame bad market conditions continue to disrupt their market development.

My view of Bitcoin is excellent as the point of sale has increased. But for this year is very different, that with the increase in the price of Bitcoin, but the price of Altcoin does not appear. The increase only happens slowly and even when the price of Bitcoin dominates the Altcoin price decreases.

I guess we should be patient and the Altcoin season will definitely come soon.

Altcoins price are following and depends on bitcoin price. If bitcoin price is stable and going up , then altcoins are following too.
But as I see since few months ago, altcoins price are struggling because bitcoin price not going up too much even going down more. Just hoping the best for prices.

This phenomenon has been going on for several months and there is no sign of stopping. alts suddenly fall sharply and investors want to pump bitcoin and forget about alts.
This has never happened before and it's really hard to understand.
But in my view, I think this is a good opportunity for us to be able to buy many coins from big businesses like Ethereum, NEO, Litecoin, EOS, ..

The advantage of Bitcoin does not make a meaningful impact on Altcoin growth. Bitcoin domination seems to make a lot of altcoins sink. Now the condition looks bad because the decline of Bitcoin also makes the Altcoin decline.

My advice if you trade better if you have made a profit, you can directly sell the coins. If you hold the coin too long I think the price will decline. But if you are convinced by your decision to keep holding the coin, you will be waiting long until the coin price is pumping.

When BTC dominance is starting to climb up its just normal for alts market to go down.This is indeed an opportunity for us to buy low value alts at this moment but the question is, do you have the confidence on buying one? For sure you will hesitate on securing those low price altcoins because you do worry that the price would go down even more.Its just a matter of risk taking as an investor yet we cant really be sure if there would be a market reversal for alts or would just simply stay down just like we are currently seeing.It might be a bad view or situation for altcoins but others do see this as a golden opportunity to buy cheap but only excluded to those alts that do have potential.

For some Altcoin will still have a high value even though the price of Bitcoin has decreased.  This is proven because Altcoin is a large Altcoin and has a large community and supporters.  The decline in the price of Bitcoin is always an impact on the price of Altcoin, but this will not take long because the price of Bitcoin will soon rise.

The value of Bitcoin has always had a large stability in this market and in the top 10 coins, there are 3 more coins such as BNB, LTC, BCH that grow with Bitcoin. I think at this point we can count on a new future for the crypto market because 2020 will definitely be the decisive moment for new development and if lucky, this market will be a promising destination for all investors around the world. I personally trust crypto and will follow this market till the end

The moment we enter this year 2019, we experience a huge market bend and it looks different from what it shows last 2018. Nobody expects for this long drama but that is what it to be, either we like it or not, we have nothing to do.
Giving our trust to the market is the only thing that we could help.

In the current situation, it is impossible to say how far this downtrend will continue, that's why it is impossible to keep all investment at one price, we need to divide the money into parts which will help us to buy the coin when it drops again.

The likeliness of altcoins dropping more is less because it's already dipping, therefore, if there's a an altcoins run, price would probably pump more than BTC has achieved this year. Buying altcoin at this time is a good strategy, that if you are willing to wait for maybe a longer period before it will recover.
Actually there's a lot of altcoins that looks like dead even in the past, but when the market starts to be bullish, they recover and not only recover, they even make a new ATH which I think will likely happen in the future.

definitely the value of other currencies is not good as we are expecting because it had lots of struggling period and situation from the people given to get out from the situation in difficult period it will not easily solve it is the only reason we are facing this situation is not good for investment and getting out the profit.

When bitcoin experiences an increase, altcoin continues to experience the same conditions and decreases. Most of the altcoin is down to the date and only a few projects have experienced price increases

if to judge how bad, of course we cannot say the conditions are very bad now. some altcoins that have updates and succeed, they can make some pumps even though some end up back down.

there aren't many altcoins that can make an increase, in fact most do tend to stay below waiting for movements from the market in general. and that hasn't happened until now, altcoin is still struggling to grow.

I think it is in the worst state. Some people here might feel I am exaggerating it but right now more than 50% of alts have plunged more than 1000% or more while 20% are dead or just waiting to get delisted completely. You can only count on your fingers the altcoins that are performing good every month and I am not including those coins that are pumped by telegram groups.

Bitcoin right now, I consider experiencing positive things and remain stable. the ups and downs are never too surprising, but in contrast to altcoin which simply cannot keep up with the movements of bitcoin. many altcoins actually become scams after ico can't even solve ico. although there are also those who can survive but not much and also decreased.
 

That is silly of them because altcoins are meant to live independent of bitcoin, because majority of them does not have the same product with bitcoin, which means they should attract both same community of bitcoin and different community, but it is still a mystery to me that we have some altcoin that usually respond along with bitcoin, they rise sometime when bitcoin rises, and they dump heavily when bitcoin dumps.

Most of the altcoins are struggling to live now that  bitcoin is really gaining more and more dominance and it is a pity that bitcoin dominance seems to be destroying them, but ask me, what is the link between the both of them, why should bitcoin dominance really accept  all altcoins in the market when they have separate real use case and technology.

Bulls with no balls! Pussy ass manipulated COWards! September and the market is dead, waiting for BTC crash. Just pump the fvcking altcoins you pusses!

altcoins are not my favorite. my favorite is always btc.  altcoins are not volatile these days. last 1-2 years most of them loss their value up to 50x. some of them loss their value to one percent. they loss their value at the same time they lost their trust.

The entire market crashes after 2017 bull run and more than a year after than the market still remain in bearish season, only Bitcoin has given up chances to move a little bit high but sad to think that altcoins never had. It is something to think that some altcoins holders have giving up from them and switch into Bitcoin.

ICO projects are becoming shit and it ruins the image of crypto market giving doubts to the investors to put their money in crypto.

As the most prominent traders say, " buy the fear, buy the extreme fear. It is the point of maximum financial profit." They said buy it even when it hurts so bad. Anyway, if you still think the devs are working hard, don't dump the bottoms.

What type of crash do you want to see? ;D
Bitcoin is doing well so far than these altcoins and you know that most altcoins are following the trend of bitcoin. Thus, if there is a bullish then altcoins will be bullish but if there is a bearish then altcoin is in bearish trend too.

If you ask how bad is Altcoin? I think not too bad. Since the beginning of 2019, Altcoin actually slowly grew. But that growth looks very slow because if looking at the price hike Bitcoin is already very high. Looking at this kind of condition I also prefer to focus on Bitcoin trading.

The Altcoin season doesn't come and we have to be patient. I am sure if the season for Altcoins is just waiting for time because until now Bitcoin looks stable.

You and every altcoin holder is sure of this,,, I hold alts for sure, so like all of you I also hope for that. But hope as we know is nothing helpful when it comes to reality.

I think we really need to come to our senses and start forgetting about price 100%. Maybe 10% and then focus the rest on really helping alt projects to succeed.

of course people who believe in cryptocurrency will choose bitcoin as the main asset in their portofolio mate
and i also believe only 10% altcoin will survive and another 90% will dead and gone from the market

logically, what we see is not from its deep critics, but what is inferior can happen that can result in fatal work.

In the month of February 2019, Altcoin was also still very low. Then in the middle of 2019 Bitcoin was back pumping and as everyone hopes. Bitcoin was able to reach $11,000, even more, and Altcoin slowly also grew. But the growth of Altcoins does not match the expectation, because it is very slow. Even now with the dominance of Bitcoin seems to make altcoins go down.

Maybe Altcoin now likes falling asleep and I am sure if the Altcoin can bounce back. And we may just wait for the time that Altcoin will surely give you surprises.

This downtrend has so much affected some altcoins to the level of digging their grave, putting them inside and remaining for them to just cover the grave and if care is not taken and we have a quick altcoins season, they will cover the grave and that may be the end to all these altcoins that are not following bitcoin in its rise.

I really pity those who have invested in altcoins during 2018 and this year, majority of the altcoins would never survive this downtrend, and I think investors mind are even beginning to divert from altcoins into bitcoin, and we can see how bitcoin is growing very high now that people are so worried that its dominance may kill the altcoins existence completely. We still have some times anyway, we hope that something could really change for alts.

It took a long time for Altcoin to get back on its feet. In a bloody situation like this, the miners must really be able to rack their brains and find new ideas, so that the coins they develop can continue to survive. If not, we can be sure their coins will disappear in circulation...

view from me maybe we have to really go through with patience that may be currently in a time of difficulty for us as people who are big enough in this forum, even though there are times when someone wants to always be the standard price, so right once in a while this must feel difficulty to be patient.

BTC is always a big brother and the market movements are all related to BTC. Bitcoin has controlled more than 50% of the total cryptocurrency market value recently. This is probably the time you can buy altcoins cheaply and keep them for the long term. Be patient and wait for your opportunity.

In crypto almost certainly all altcoins must have a direct effect if bitcoin has increased or decreased. It seems that many altcoins cannot move on their own to develop themselves and are not always affected directly with bitcoin. even now altcoin is a lot of good but inevitable with the development of bitcoin as well.

I think this will be over soon. When the value of the alts reaches a very low level in the near future, when bitcoin dominance reaches 71% - 73%, then the market will reverse. because when there are too many transactions in Bitcoin but the price still cannot push, traders will lose faith and start selling Bitcoin to buy and hold altcoins.
That is the general sentiment and that will happen soon. The market will balance again.

Will, it means that we are turning back into $10 each BTC? That makes impossible.

The increase of bitcoin transaction it doesn't give worries, it simply means that we increase the number of users which could help so hold bitcoin price at high as the demand is too high also. And looking a positive effect towards altcoins, will it also give help for not leaving behind the wall.

Bitcoin won't fall at that range again, some people maybe hoping for that to dump that low to have an opportunity to buy, but I tell them, it's not an opportunity, they are likely buying a dead coin at that time.

Imagine BTC at $10,000 will fall at $10, no one would see that attractive, even the newbie in the market.
BTC has recovered and will continue to recover, it's been popular already although not so popular yet but the that path we are going now is very impressive, we were able to get the attention of the authorities and sooner we will see a standard regulation of crypto which could help achieve a massive adoption.

Yes, that is what we are experiencing in the market because from 2016, we are seeing many fake projects are already dead in the market. So in order to find the good altcoins we have to research a lot about the companies because we cannot simply invest in shit coins without any developments with them.

We always see that bitcoin will going to pump the price but some altcoins are still in dip situation. And maybe it is for bitcoin right now not for altcoins, And it will have a time also for altcoins to increase the price and maybe in this well be happen.

Never say never. It depends what the next ATH is again, and also depends a lot on when. Between today and ATH, anything can happen. Bitcoin only went to a low of $3000 since hitting ATH, and that's not even 90% of a loss. We've seen plenty of times when 90% from ATH happened (I shouldn't even mention altcoins at 99% I guess!). There's still chances for this to happen!

yes, i believe that, altcoin seasons will coming soon or later after bitcoin touch new high
in my predictions the altseason will not happend in this year, but maybe next year is the right time, after the halving event on bitcoin
now is the right time to collect more a good altcoin such as ethereum and bnb

many people said that when bitcoin is dominating , alts will be in a bad condition but there are also users that said when btc is pumping alts will follow  .  i think im going to believe you , because that i what i observed before  .

now btc increases but i also observed that majority of alts are already recovering  .

other alts value are not bad for btc  but btc value are the ones that affect other alts  .

My view of Bitcoin's value is actually very good. With the rising price of Bitcoin, it actually wants to drive all Altcoin pumps. However I see it does not happen, but the price of Altcoin all decreases.
The market conditions are now more complicated and I bought an Altcoin. Price only increased slightly, but after that, the price soon fell.

a lot of altcoin will has no value in the future my friend
because people's will always focused on bitcoin,
only a good altcoin with strong team and community will survive buddy and the other will gone

Most altcoins have already reached their bottomed and there is no where they are decreasing too again, before bitcoin started its bull run in April, it bottomed and it was at the point where it could not go low any further that it started increasing, and I am sure that this is the same pattern that altcoins too will use, the they altcoins will start their own surge will not be announced just like bitcoin, and we can see how some people, that could not place an order for bitcoin when it was $4000 was still regretting because they never saw bitcoin surge coming, and they were expecting the value to keep going down again because of the bear market.

There is another chance of altcoins for us now and I think we should not throw this one away, we should just invest and then wait for as long as we can.

What it makes things sad is that some of us think that altcoins are dead already and they are jumping into Bitcoin. But not totally it gives a huge impact to Bitcoin price cause it is still at low and never saw it moving high above $14k this year.

We could say that investors today are different from those early adopters, they are quite considering for a long-term investment which until now many of them are still holding altcoins. They don't lose their hopes cause they believe that there is a perfect time for altcoins which they may be right and this is I'd see in new sets of investors today.

These early adopters believed in the project because satoshi pushed the project to an extent where it became independent, most of these altcoins didn’t push the project to the level where it can become independent before they leave it and allow investors or users to do the rest to extent of leaving the users to do the publicity for them meanwhile it does not work that way.

You will not blame investors that are complaining and given up, they gave them chances to prove themselves by staying but all in the end was disappointment, is it not the same investors that invested in other coins that are still in binance? How come they have no dumped binance and still with them waiting for future development and growth before the think of taking out their investment.

As we have seen, BTC is still the most powerful coin that can survive under any bear market. Altcoins on the contrary have shown that they are very weak and if you look at price charts of ETH, LTC or EOS, they have lost much more than the main coin.

Why do you believe that Altcoin can increase in the future? There is currently no evidence of an increase in altcoin prices in the near future and this is only an speculation of each individual in this market so cannot be sure. I think Altcoin needs more time to be able to grow well in the coming time because recently a lot of bad news related to this market so the price increase will be delayed until next year.

I personally want Altcoin to rise but not this year as some of the big coins are still in the correction phase so will be difficult to predict what will happen next.

Bitcoin dominates the market its just shows btc is really the king. For altcoins we know the prices are struggling even btc is turning ups or down. Alts dont follow and there's no sign of alts bull run so I think this year it will be hard to see some growth for altcoins even for some popular coins.

However, bitcoin is still a reference for all altcoins, I agree with you that bitcoin is the most ready and strong coin to survive in the crypto market. altcoin is still very dependent on bitcoin in its market movements, cannot move alone. so it is very difficult to expect from altcoin, although not all are bad and some can survive even if there is a decline but it is relatively small.

Altcoin is a lot that goes down not because of bitcoin because it is not interested in traders and also the development is not clear. sometimes we see a decrease in price just think that it is the effect of bitcoin rising or falling but actually there are still so many factors that make altcoin experience a price decline. platforms that don't work and don't sell well in the community also make no trade

Other reasons besides the BTC condition still appear micro, yesterday's example is TRX which has a case in China, the price reduction did not occur significantly and the recovery went smoothly in July. But when BTC went down, TRX could not survive and fell about 150 sat and is still low until now. bitcoin is still the dominant reason for altcoin, even the usdt / alt pair as an alternative doesn't really help.

confidence and patience is the best capital in investing, it may be needed by investors who are like you and in the current conditions we as investors must be smart in taking advantage of every opportunity that we will get in investing with crypto and altcoin because we know that the development of crypto currencies is not we can predict with certainty its development and it's one of the risks in investing
