I want to understand if all altcoins are built upon the foundation of BTC. This is because when there is severe crash of BTC, all other coins, I mean all, also crash.
Is there no independence in the cryptocurrency world?
Thank you!
I mean most of the altcoins are dependent on the market price of bitcoin and you could totally notice that in the market when the market price of bitcoin pumping a lot of altcoins are pumping as well and vice versa when the bitcoin is a dump.
But at the same time, not all of the altcoins in the market are dependent on the price of bitcoin, I guess some are DOGE coin, XRP, etc. you could notice when the market is pumping sometimes are XRP and DOGE coin and going in a different way.
It could be because of the pairs or conversion of bitcoin to other altcoins but I'm not actually sure about the main reason for this but there is a huge connection between bitcoin and altcoins when it comes to the market price for sure.
