It doesn't mean that other altcoin does not have a value. Bitcoin was there first, is accepted by most people and institutions.
yes i agree. bitcoin is a pioneer of cryptocurrency and there is too much of altcoin in the market that make all altcoin becomes burned down. but despite all of that there is still good altcoin such as atlant and many other things that look grow as well as bitcoin such as ethereum. |

BTC has gained stability and popularity.
it seems stable and it is the first crypto
I suppose BTC will keep its position.
but some other coins will gain stable positions as well

Today I happen to notice the Bitcoin price has gone up to 5400 level. Why there is no big activity in other alt coins. I feel 54% of market cap is Bitcoin. So does it mean alt coins have no value.
I feel there big inequality or all other all coins in no way par with bitcoins as it is market leader and it is distancing itself from others in Price.
The inequality cannot be addressed because its not being controlled. Its a decentralised market where people get to choose where they want to put their funds and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Where the issue is that most Alts tries to compete with Bitcoin whereas they should be competing among themselves and that's what I seen Waves Platform making available by that, we can then compare the one which is doing better than the other one but aside that, there is nothing that can be done. |

Yeah , you are right most altcoins have been slow for the past week , I didnt even got a chance to trade my alts these week cause the market was going down. I blame bitcoin for what is happening to alts, its because bitcoin is going to go through a hardfork on October 25 so a lot of people are exchanging their coins for bitcoin. Don't worry too much tho cause after the fork ends I'm sure most altcoin will make a recovery.

High expectations are main problem. I Understand those who do not trade at all and holding their BTC's in storage and they are delightful with this idea that they will get free money. I do not understand investors who selling now just because they can get 1/10 of their holdings, this is an absurd, and totally irrational behavior. Crypto is very far from mass adoption.

The cost of bitcoin is really incomparably higher than the other crypto currency. Bitcoin was the first and is well known with significant user support. This explains his position among the others in terms of currency and high cost. However, according to the laws of the market, if any other coin becomes more successful and will gain more support than Bitcoin, the situation may change.

You are right, bitcoin's dominance on the market has grown and I think it was rather unexpected, for more and more currencies were created and getting their bites of the general market capitalization. It's funny, though. Bitcoin was all about being against the center, whereas now it is itself the center of the market, the thing that influences choices of traders and makes them dump the periphery. Bitcoin was a crypto pioneer that's why it is stable and reliable. many people believe it. some altcoins are underscored
Yes, bitcoin is reliable and sort of stable. Yet it would actually be better for people to use different coins instead of concentration on this specific one, because currently the transaction fees are sometimes really high whereas the needed time is still very long. Moreover, surely there are lots of coin offering things bitcoin will never be able to offer, like smart contracts. |

Don't judge alt coins just because bitcoin is currently going up, The reason why Bitcoin is rising is because of BTG, People want to earn Free BTG. But I think when people already get there BTG Altcoins will be back to normal.

It seems that bitcoin has given more value appreciation rather than alt coins I thought when bitcoin appreciate the alt coins will also does because they consider bitcoin to be their mother coin and the benchmark of alts pricing. I guess they give so much emphasis on making bitcoin price higher to increase the demand and then they will start increasing alts when the demand cannot compensate by the supply of bitcoin.

The 54% market cap dominance we now see for Bitcoin might seem 'inequal', but is actually still pretty low considering BTC occupied at least 80% of the market cap before the spring of 2017. Altcoins are agressively on the offensive this year. Personally I'm diving entirely into altcoins in the coming weeks as I suspect/hope they'll yield a profit when this whole hardfork thing has passed. Altcoins move more than Bitcoin moves, but Bitcoin seems to hold its value longer and more reliability than altcoins. It all depends on your trading style. Altcoins are best for high risk, high reward - but if you are not skilled at trading, and many people are not, just buy and hold Bitcoin. |

Well I can see with your calculation there is 46% of market cap for all the altcoins. Don't forget not all of the coins are making progress through the market so this cap is also for top 500 coins which actually contribute to the market capitalisation. So yeah there is lot of price or value for these particular contributing coins. I mean it's more valued if 46% market cap is distributed over top 100 coins rather than 1000 coins with shit volume.

Bitcoin was first of its kind so people trusts and feels more safe to invest in bitcoins as it has gained a good foundation.Also prices of bitcoins attracts people and investors to invest in them, this spike in price of bitcoins was caused by Bitcoin gold and this fork caused alts coins price to fall as people cashing out alts coin to invest in bitcoins to earn profits from the fork.Bitcoins has gained an reputation and trust which makes people invest in them and breaking it would be very hard,only ethereum has potential to overcome bitcoins now.

That was the main reason why people choose to stay on bitcoin cause there is a assurance that bitcoin will truly give a profit for them you are sure that bitcoin can do that and as we can see the value of it are good sometimes yes we can see some dump but not always because there is a such thing that this coin will pump again and again. |

It would be interesting to see if you can get it on the rise and correction of bitcoin! Ethereal seems to be made for stand-alone! Somehow the value is still connected with bitcoin or not.

It seems to me that people will always have more trust in bitcoin. Even if bitcoin will not grow in the price it would be a more reliable asset. If bitcoin will be stable or even price falls, you can earn it by selling goods or performing work. Altcoins can only be used for speculation so they will lose value if the price of them for a long time will be stable or will decrease. |
