Am I reading right here? We are in the $11300+ level right now. So the range you are referring here was couple of months back? But on the note that DeFi is benefiting btc, I believe yes. Because those noncrypto users that got attracted to DeFi because of the hype, will eventually learn about bitcoin. And from that situation, they can compare the difference of btc and defi. And I think some of them will appreciate the benefits that btc will bring to them.

with the arrival of defi it does not affect bitcoin at all and bitcoin will still be able to run without the influence of defi, currently bitcoin has shown $ 11K+ and will continue to move up even though there may be defi that surpass bitcoin but bitcoin will still be an idol to keep looking for . conclusion without any defi bitcoin can still move well.

OP should first know that it is not the price of a coin that matters, it is the marketcap, why are the DeFi projects that surpass bitcoin in price not gotten above bitcoin in ranking. DeFi never at all surpass bitcoin and they all have a long way to go, summing up the whole DeFi project is nothing before bitcoin.

Let me explain this for you to know better, each projects on DeFi counts on ether price, I mean the more investors are investing on DeFi projects, the more will the price of ether is increasing. Still, ether is nothing before bitcoin not to mention the whole DeFi.

There is a DeFi project called wBTC, in which investors can invest on and make profit, the more investors invest on wBTC, the more the price of bitcoin will increase and the more the price of ether will increase, but the increase in price of bitcoin is so small because wBTC contributes to less than 1% of bitcoin marketcap. Most DeFi are built on ethereum network, which makes it contributing to Ether price and marketcap itself. Some are built on tron network but not as strong as the ones of ethereum platform in reflect to marketcap.

In my opinion yes. Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency and all new investors that will enter DeFi will surely buy first bitcoin before they start buying DeFi token that preferred. The majority of crypto user preferred Bitcoin as there main coin in there portfolio and most of the investors diversify there investment. If many new traders will surge to buy DeFi token,  I'm pretty sure that they will buy BTC too to add on there portfolio.

BTC is just like Gold in precious metal. If a trader will buy silver, they will buy too Gold once they have enough money because human is always looking for more much better things.

It does. We can compare this scene to the ICO bubble and that made bitcoin pump as high as it did and everyone will agree that the ICO market helped bitcoin to pump during that time. So does this defi market also giving benefits to bitcoin but as for this defi market, this can't stand alone. Without bitcoin, it can't last but bitcoin even without this crowdfunding, defi market, and any other sort of the same project, it can stand on its own and we all know about it.

     People will always have contrasting opinions about this since if we think about it, defi can both be a pretty good thing or a bad thing for the crypto currency industry and not just to bitcoin itself. At the end, what it comes down to is the different types of perspective that everyone has and how the majority would act on any thing related. Just as how things has been happening in the past years

Your argument doesn't make sense. Money going out of DeFi and into Ethereum/Bitcoin means DeFi's market cap should theoretically be reduced while Ethereum/Bitcoin's should increase. Besides the fact that most DeFi tokens are based on Ehereum's blockchain, I don't think there is any other correlation between the two.

For most people when reading about any crypto project they tend to find out about Bitcoin as well. So in theory it helps to know more about the whole ecosystem. Since DeFi is complex and requires study.

But as mentioned, no DeFI is built on top of Bitcoin. It does not use the same code. It is not possible to trade with Bitcoin.

The only impact is on the Fomo that people use and end up buying everything while the bubble is rising.

True! Defi market is full of scammers and we have seen few exit scams already where people have lost their money big time! However, there are few defi programs as well which has definitely grabbed a million eyeballs and still growing stronger. Defi can definitely boost bitcoin but indirectly. I don't see any direct benefits on bitcoin.
