I have recently been into altcoin trading. I just want to know, does the price of bitcoin affect the price of other cryptocurrencies as well? How? I really want to know. I have noticed that ever since the bitcoin price pumped up and reached 4,000 USD, the price of the altcoins had gone really really low. I almost lost my invesment due to this sudden drop. Does bitcoin price have something to do with this?

Every other cryptocurrency is paired with bitcoin for pricing, so bitcoin is a price intermediary between one cryptocurrency and the other. If the price of bitcoin is down, it will definitely reflect on other cryptocurrencies.

The success of BitCoin paves the way for projects like..

I think bitcoin has no way to influence other crypto values. But, bitcoin has a very strong influence as a crypto king. Bitcoin has high trust from the community. So when the price of bitcoin rises, then confidence in the altcoin will also increase. I rasas that has an effect on Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is the king of Cryptocurrency. almost all coin users besides Bitcoin have Bitcoin as their priority coin. So from that Bitcoin can affect the price and state of other coin markets simultaneously. Therefore, many coins in Altcoin that have lived under the auspices of Bitcoin and the market is indeed influenced by Bitcoin.
