Altcoin prices are not currently affected by the movement of Bitcoin, Ethereum in 2017 is still the center of attention of many investors because the price is almost reaching $ 2k, but on the other hand, when the price of BTC rises in 2019, ethereum cannot rise beyond $200.
When etherum announced it would do a hard drive which they later delayed, last year the price could not exceed $200 and I still believe, ethereum could raise the price this year
