Title: Why do altcoins follow bitcoin?
Post by: yousufatik on November 06, 2018, 09:05:23 AM
Why is it that the moment BTC starts to sway, the other coins follow suit. It would be hard for everyone to sell that much at the same time. It seems beyond just panic selling. They seemed to be directly linked. Inf-fact, BTC going down should increase and encourage altoins as they raise in value compared to BTC as it falls so why this uniform sell off? Something seems weird about that to me. Any real theories, or explanations?

Bitcoin is the oldest crypto currency, and also it is the most successful one with the highest potential and value, in addition, the Bitcoin's market is the biggest among crypto markets. So it is normal that altcoins follow Bitcoin and get influenced by its market and price.

The actual reason is investors are follow the Altcoins and Bitcoin so marketcap is similarly move to the same way. But peoples are expecting Bitcoin is controlled by altcoin. First we should think how Crypto market is pump and dump the main reason is supply and demand if you investing continuously automatically this will growing faster at the same time if you sell continuously it will down in the market. So investors are major in Crypto platform.

Because bitcoin prices are so important from altcoin price movements, when bitcoin prices rise then altcoin prices will also rise when bitcoin prices go down then altcoin will also fall, altcoin will not dare to try to raise altcoin prices when bitcoin drops in price.

If happens that bitcoin will die i believe altcoins are also dying because most of altcoins are dependent on the movement of bitcoin. Another reason why altcoins are dying too because people will not trust investing in crypto again due to afraid that the crypto they choose to invest are dropping too bad or dying.

Maybe because bitcoin is the only driver in cryptocurrencies place. It is like roller coaster destination of altcoins with bitcoin kingship. Nobody can stand against the flow once bitcoin started to glow or to drawn.

Just to be clear, not all altcoins follow bitcoins price.

Why do MOST altcoins follow bitcoin?
Nobody can really explain this. Even experienced crypto traders and investors do not really know why. One possible reason is that not many altcoins have USDT pairing. Majority are still paired with BTC and ETH

Because Bitcoin is considered a benchmark, every Altcoin is based on it to show its worth. Bitcoin is like a king, and every Altcoin is a child of it. They always considered Bitcoin as a benchmark to set their prices.

all altcoins follow bitcoin because bitcoin is the first digital currency and altcoins want to be like bitcoin and surpass what bitcoin has done in this crypto currency world.

Because Bitcoin is still the King of Crypto. Perhaps that is the simplest and best explanation anyone can give. Traders and investors already accepted that.

The dominance of bitcoin is very high, about above 50% as of now equal a half of the total market. So I think its movement will affect alts so much.
Title: Re: Why do altcoins follow bitcoin?

because Bitcoin is the parent of cryptocurrency, as well as currencies that have a very high value and this certainly will greatly affect the prices of other Altcoin.

Eventually bitcoin levels out for awhile and then people herd back into alts. Rinse, lather, repeat. It's a crazy market but there are trends. Bitcoin basically being the anchor for all the trends.

 All crypto currencies are in one pool. Therefore, interaction is inevitable. People's tendency is to sell altcoins and switch to bitcoin, or vice versa, so they both affect each other. It's the people who value bitcoin and I think this relationship will continue for a long time.

The trust of the people is in bitcoin and if bitcoin fall thier trust on crypto maybe decrease same with the investm3nt capital that they put in the crypto market. I believe that bitcoin is the king of all coin and many coin really basing on its existence because crypto is bitcoin and bitcoin is crypto. If no bitcoin i believe crypto coin will disappear.

Why do all altcoins follow bitcoin because I think Bitcoin is the parent of all cryptocurrency currencies, and also bitcoin is a currency that has very high value and of course bitcoin will greatly affect the price of all other Altcoin.

Altcoin always follows Bitcoin because Bitcoin is the king of Cryptocurrency. In other words, almost all Altcoin users are Bitcoin users too. So if there is an incident that befalls Bitcoin it will also have an impact on Altcoin and the coins inside. I think that's a natural thing, because more than 50% of these Kripto users use Bitcoin, so it is only natural for Altcoin to join.

Well i don't think that the alternatives coins follow the price of bitcoin, usually based on my experience in trading alternatives coins fair bitcoin. If the price of bitcoin goes up the price of alternatives coins goes down, if the price of bitcoin goes down the price of alternatives coins goes down too and if the price of bitcoin is sideaway the price of alternatives coins goes up. I don't know about the reasons for it but it is good pattern of cryptocurrencies price in trading activity especially for me.

in my opinion all altcoins follow bitcoin because Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrency, and bitcoin is a currency that has very high value and this of course will greatly affect the prices of other Altcoin.

Altcoins follow bitcoin because bitcoin is the first digital currency. I  think cryptocurrency market are dependent on bitcoin, if the bitcoin price is down, other altcoins price goes down and if bitcoin price goes up other altcoin also goes up.

I think in traditional fiat trading, on Forex markets for example, you can shift to another market that's unaffected or you can buy bonds, gold or stocks.Now I'm sure that many of you are also aware that there's a general consensus that Ethereum will one day surpass or be comparable to Bitcoin.

Every altcoin follow bitcoin as bittcoin is a first and base currency of this market and all coins follow its direction as their value automatically decreased because when btc dropped, the value of satoshi drops and we buy/sell mostly in satoshi.

do you think it's true, that bitcoin is coin pusher pioneer and emergence of other coins, coins are also very stable so that his movements always affect the other coins.

Cryptocurrencies tend to be pattern based when looking and volume and price. A common pattern is when a certain coin or type of coin become a popular commodity while other alts fall. High volume and and raid price increases tend to rotate as buyers and sellers rotate, generally being sparked by "good news" and ended by "bad news".

Bitcoin is really connected in price terms with the rest of the cryptocurrency and has a price dominance over them. Allows him to do this a large level of capitalization. A few days ago, Bitcoin possessed 54 percent of all cryptocurrency investments.

Btc controls the market and that is why it value affect all the others. Btc is in the middle of almost all crypto transactions and that is how come its value affect the rest
Title: Re: Why do altcoins follow bitcoin?

I think Because the price of bitcoin is very important for altcoin price movements, because when the price of bitcoin rises then the altcoin price will also go up and when the price of bitcoin goes down the altcoin will also go down, so I think altcoin won't dare to try to raise prices when the bitcoin price is down.

When the Bitcoin price falls or rises against the USD, all the altcoins will usually follow. This is because all altcoin prices are based on their Bitcoin exchange rate, not their USD exchange rate
