We have always observed that if bitcoin rises in value, most altcoins follow as well. Even now that bitcoin has reached another ATH, altcoins are also increasing and now, market is in green celebrating the bitcoins new record.
eth needs to surpass the 1k level first before thinking of getting to the 10k mark. we are already more than 600 and breaking 1k may happen before this year ends. a lot are in the positive mood as financial companies keep on buying btc. and the latest one is the Ruffer Investment who got their $745M worth of BTC from Coinbase.
dont worry about eth not following fast with BTC price surge, because eth will come next. they have solid developments so their future is still intact.
