this is what has happened so far to altcoin market,
- bitcoin goes up ---> altcoins drop
- bitcoin dumps ----> altcoins get dumped harder.
it is the dynamic of the market. although there are exceptions too.
in any case i have found out that altcoin market is only good for certain period of times.
- when bitcoin is stable and boring
- when there is a lot of FUD about bitcoin and how it is going to die

and we have seen and also exhausted both these options to pump altcoins this year.
Sell it as bit coin or buy tether and wait it out.
this is a terrible advise on so many different levels.
first because bitcoin is rising and the rally is just starting and it is pretty strong!!
and also because tether is not exactly the best option you can rely on.
