*quotes mergedCrypto/BitCoin dominance indicator depends on market capacity which is the product of price multiplied by Circulating Supply
[1], in bitcoin we have a fixed quantity supply and therefore market capacity may have value (although it is another useless metric).
As for altcoins, the developer can create one million coins per day, and thus the market capacities may be doubled in a short period, and thus the dominance of Bitcoin will decrease compared to alternative currencies.
Thus it is only an indicator of:
- More altcoins are being printed: It is not a price reversal because price is often follow the Bitcoin price.
- Bitcoin price will not be affected by it.
- If the market is regulated, it will drop very low.
So the only benefit is knowing when the altcoins will start to rise when the bitcoin price stable.
[1] The amount of coins that are circulating in the market and are in public hands.
Read more and source A fixed or at least stable supply is already the mainstream consensus in the cryptocurrency market, not only btc. The supply of most high market cap altcoins which enough to affect D will not change rapidly in a short period of time. Also, increasing supply will also cause the price to fall and low market cap coins have little influence.
So 'altcoin printing' does not affect the main trend of D, otherwise the D curve will not be as smooth as it is now.
About the impact on price. The point in my post is not that D affects the price of btc or altcoins, but that Chinese miners made big sell off to maintain Dominance when D falls.
In a sense it's more of a 'direct effect' than 'not affected'. They are miners, their mostly holdings are btc so their trick to trigger panic is also to sell btc.Those self acclaimed experts are most times confused and thrown off balance by the market. Instead of them to say or expose their cluelessness, they will make some untrusted forecast. Because they have so much followers on social media, and are inter connected. The masses will like to follow their prediction, by this they create an artificial demand and supply.
About altcoins not falling when bitcoin suffered because of China ban. It was a fundamental analysis that interrupted the market. In a real market, when the king bleeds the altcoins bleed as well.
It is normal for most cryptocurrencies to have the same price trend, but the key is which side of Bitcoin or altcoins gains more or loses more.
Those 'experts' make meaningless stuff most of the time, but when the part of them with a similar audience shares exceptionally consistent views, there's something worth exploring.This is why not everyone is successful in crypto currencies. The thought also applies to several careers. What I am saying is that if a person is too lazy to even know about the thing he is getting himself into (specially if he aims to do it long-term involving huge capital allocation) then I think he probably deserves losing some investmen capitals just to wake him up from his rich get quick without effort mindset. That is if he doesn't lose it all all at once or doesn't give up that easily. In this industry, specifically in trading, we capitalize on the mistakes of others; their losses. Lazy people would be better off investing their time and money on other things than in this industry.
Otherwise, they can only reap what they have sown.
It is normal for people to pay for their stupidity. But the point is that through this process, Chinese miners crash many well-performing crypto projects to maintain their Dominance.This is why not everyone is successful in crypto currencies.

When it comes to cryptocurrencies like : Bitcoins
It is essential to realize that getting involved with everything is an active process. You have to keep checking the price and invest at the right time, the right opportunity. At the same time you also have to realize that losses are temporary and if you accidentally make a mistake, you can always earn that money back but there is no point in loosing sense of the goal. I believe it's not just an asset or crypto but it's *financial freedom* which is being imparted to the people. At the end of the day it's even more important during the pandemic and crumbling economic situation.
With those Chinese miners, btc has seen few technological upgrades since that controversial hard fork. Because it is not necessary, as long as they manipulate D, they can starve the altcoin projects that carry out technological innovation and easily win. Even if someone wanted to, do you remember how many miners in the so-called community were strongly opposed to Ethereum's upgrade proposal?This is extremely harmful to the crypto industry, both altcoins and btc. When Satoshi's prototype finally fails to maintain its Dominance, they will soon dump all their holdings and crash the entire market. If you believe crypto is the future, then all they do is DESTORY OUR FUTURE.
