market decouples more and more from bitcoin, originally most altcoins were bought with bitcoins, and bitcoin was used as a front runner to attract investors,
now altcoins often look directly for their investors themselves so they get bought with usd.
in the future we can expect.
altcoins being used in the economy
altcoins buying and funding each other
there will be a new area you should prepare yourself for it is:
the new area
where people hold and work for the coins of their style, focus more on their work, and secondary on the money they hold.
i wrote a while an
article about that future
some while ago maybe i will update it with the current development, but it continues as i expected.
I'm not sure this picture demonstrates anything other than a relief at the SEC giving today icos a signal they will be okay
I would not like to say any alt has ever improved upon btc
The ones you have circled perhaps except eth don;t even have any hope of claiming to be decentralised trustless crypto currencies
ICO should not be compared with long term POW coins.
I would never bet against btc with any of those perhaps except eth but again we will see how that goes.
Didnt notice xmr I would not level the same criticisms against that as at icos.
