BTC and altcoins rising and falling together

[bleukind]

BTC is the only coin you can use at the moment to make real cash (USD).
Today i read an anouncement that the Worldcoin wil be the next coin that gets an option to make directly USD of it. It will be in feb 2014. So i guess that will effect in a compleet change for the market of all altcoins.

What are your thoughts about it?

I find it very strange that most of the altcoins :Litecoin, nmc, nvc etc., are rising and falling the same exact time and rate as BTC this past 2 days when btc fell drastically to $400.

Is there any reason to this?

It's all same kind. Trust when taken one of them all drops... the important side of it which alt coin acts different in drops and ups and seeing the cause of it.

I trade on BTC-E when the price of BTC drops like it did recently, All atls fell as well ( being tied to USD it makes sense) EXCEPT FTC (Made 25% more BTC on that bounce + the iddistional USD. FTC FTW

I certainly made some money with WDC already so I can't complain
my 2 cents:they are doing this for them and their friends heavily invested on WDC.
Any investor/coder really interested in cryptos would develop additional services/code for BTC
This is what people should push, not some shit coin with no infrastructure.
