Times without numbers bitcoin has proved to be the best and also the king of all crypto currency, i do see alot people saying bitcoin price doesn't have an effect on the crypto market, but to me they are totally wrong cause whenever bitcoin dumps altcoins just follow and dump massively , it pumps they still dump , I believe every crypto trader normally check the price of bitcoin before buying any altcoin, bitcoin is undoubtedly the leader of the crypto market.

The increase in bitcoin price does not always make the altcoin price go up, because the increase in altcoin price is also based on the dominant chart of bitcoin at that time. if the dominant bitcoin chart goes up, the altcoin price will go down and if the dominant bitcoin falls, the altcoin price will go up.

While I agree, I am still involved a lot with altcoins as when the altcoin season comes each one will be mad again at the high gains any altcoin will be making. Bitcoin is the king but there is a problem. It can't give you a hundred times your profits in a few months anymore. This was the early days. We need altcoins to at least have a small hope we can make it too. So whales shouldn't take this away from the rest of the community. Call it pump and dumps call it anything that the devs will make millions, we still have to holds a few altcoins for the possibility of a moonshot. Not everyone will make it but we can have this dream and be naive enough to hope for this.

Unfortunately this is very difficult to change, people see that their coins are similar to bitcoin and they think that it should have roughly the same value or an even greater one, but what they do not understand is that most altcoins are for the most part just cheap imitations of bitcoin, will you pay the same amount of money for a house well built and for a house made of cardboard? The answer is obviously no and yet those people think that somehow people are going to pay a lot to be part of a coin that most likely is a scam anyway.

And newbies are very susceptible to fall for this since they do not have experience in the market, they see in bitcoin just another coin, but even the most minimal knowledge about it tells you that it has a dominance of almost 70% and if anything that number is kind of low and it will keep increasing in the future.

Yes, that's true as Bitcoin has already proven it's worth numerous times and we shouldn't be sceptical anymore even if we go through one more bearish market we should use it as an opportunity to buyback rather than selling out of panic and fear. I have always believed in Bitcoin and really wanted to reinvest into Bitcoin during 2018 crisis but couldn't due to financial circumstances but now I have saved enough to reinvest in any such bearish market.

It may be some time happen that altcoin price drop or pump with bitcoin price uo and down respectively but not all time because altcoin price depend upon their market. Itay be happen that investor buy one altcoin at larhe amount than bitcoin
Bitcoin proved self after 2017 and their is no doubt in bitcoin price fluctuation. People use bitcoin for their inveatment this why bitcoin price increasing day by days with a high speed.
I want to also hold some bitcoin so that give me a good price at future. 
I think every single investor now first check the bitcoin price before buying altcoin so this may cause the altcoin price relationship with bitcoin price.

Bitcoin has been proving itself for so long already actually. Even though there are instances where it fails, it still comes back strong later on. Last year, bitcoin was not that strong at the beginning, but as the end of the year approached it clearly proved itself once again. We can clearly see how bitcoin was able to become the pioneer and the one that set the standard for every crypto that followed it. Even though bitcoin's value is high right now, we should set ourselves ready for anything that may happen so that we won't experience massive loss.

I have always known the price of other altcoin is directly proportional to the price of bitcoin in the Crypto market. It’s obvious from the recent developments in the Crypto market that bitcoin influence more than 60% of the price of other altcoin as it’s rhe most accepted in the world.

No doubt Bitcoin is a precious gem of the crypto market. It is leading the crypto market from the front. when Bitcoin rises it automatically helps in increasing the value of other Altcoins in USD form but there are times when Bitcoin consolidates and Altcoins rises too.

Yes, Bitcoin plays a market maker role in cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin appreciates and other altcoins follow the beast. It is like that and will continue. Also, altcoins can move freely without affected by Bitcoin. The new protocol release or huge buyout can affect the price.
