No,its very good thing to elimnate the useless shit coins from the market and its happening at every bull run.So if you are holding any coin with no reasonable inccrease then consider it as shit coin and move it soon to take something to cover up the losses.
Shit coins will fall no matter which proportion of Bitcoin dominance. Only good coins with strong team behind and successful projects can catch capital flows from investors, then can survive and grow over time. It is too far from the era of shit coins since late of 2017. Bitcoin dominance might prevent capital flow into altcoins in coming weeks or even a few months. However, finally investors will switch too altcoins later, certainly.

BTC dominance is certainly very high, but I don't think it's a bad sign. BTC often leads any market recovery, with alts taking over once BTC has stabilised or started a mini correction. Whether alts will take over again this time is not yet clear. I do think though that part of the alt surge in late 2017 was because of the huge success of ERC20 ICOs that year, which led to rapidly increasing ETH price, and this ETH surge could have been a major driver for the general alt surge, which I suppose might suggest that things will be different this time around and we might not see such a pronounced alt rise.

It is really surprising to see the dominance of bitcoin growing and I began to wonder if alts will really grow as supposed.
The only thing I can deduce from here is that, altcoins will grow, but not all, until the dominance reduces.
The alts that will grow will only do that, because they are providing reasonable solutions through their products.

Which should actually be a good thing. If that happens, then alts without actual products and just feeds off of their supporters trust would have a hard time growing. We'll see less scams and projects with bogus promises. Though i doubt that's what will happen. As before, btc and alts are just under a phase. Eventually btc dominance will calm down and we'll see most altcoins recover and make a run themselves.

Many investors don't trust altcoins anymore because of the way it dipped in 2018. Many of these altcoins dipped by as much as 800% and are yet to recover. So why buy alts now?
No asset can lose more than 100% of its value, maybe you meant 80%? But the rest of your comment is correct, most altcoins crashed even harder than bitcoin at the end of 2017 and many investors lost everything, it is possible that many of them never came back and those that did are probably not interested in investing in altcoins anymore, besides why do we need altcoins? Bitcoin alone could have allowed you to earn 300% in just a matter of months, I know that alts in theory can give more than that but the number of alts that outperformed bitcoin during the previous months is very small, so for an investor there is not really any reason to stop investing in bitcoin and move to alts.

I've been following Bitcoin's market dominance for a while now. And before the current bullish trend, it used to decrease as the market was growing. I even noticed the correlation between the prices going up and the dominance going down and vice versa. Take a look at this interesting chart: https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage. Specifically, at what happened at the end of 2017. Bitcoin's price sky-rocketed, but so did the prices of altcoins. They were kind of fueling each other and thriving. Bitcoin going up coincided with the market of cryptocurrencies expanding, and alts taking up a bigger and bigger part of it. BTC dominance went almost as low as 30% back then.
When the prices started going down, Bitcoin's dominance was growing. People were selling their cryptos a lot, but some of them were selling altcoins for Bitcoin, so it actually lost less than others. When the prices started to go up in April, I thought that 2017 would repeat itself with Bitcoin giving more space for other coins as the market recovers. Instead, what we see is Bitcoin recovering at the expense of altcoins with market dominance now being above 60%.
What do you think about this phenomenon? Is the time of altcoins over, or is it just temporary?
The current situation of the altcoins is definitely temporary, if you also study the chat carefully, you will agree with me that the altcoins did not immediately increased the moment BTC increase, BTC usually have dominance for a while before altcoins starts having their own dominance, and when altcoins starts dominating, bitcoin tends to halt because it is the sideways of bitcoin that gives chances to most of the altcoins to dominate.When the prices started going down, Bitcoin's dominance was growing.

I am sure that very soon, once we get to a stage where bitcoin would start to consolidate, it is absolutely certain that altcoins that are still active will have a very powerful surge just like it happened before in the past, so it is too early to think altcoins are no longer going to increase or already having dominance issue. As you can see that the other top altcoins are having pre-dominance, they are the ones following bitcoin right now side by side, so altcoins are very much alive and open to high surge.

I think its temporary because all market attention on bitcoin right now, if bitcoin dominance not more than 56 percent and marketcap still high i believe its will turn to altcoin session,,
BTC dominance rate has been at high range, and it will fall later. When dominance rate of bitcoin falls, altcoins will rise. So, let's think of it as simple as possible. Even when the rate rockets next days, it will fall back, and we have been at the end of bitcoin dominant phase. Soon, altcoins will rise.

This is only temporary and Altcoin will definitely be back up. We have to be patient today because it is all focused to pump the Bitcoin price. Ethereum and all altcoins slowly start growing so it's time to invest. More has the Altcoin I think will generate many advantages.

That is the risky way when someone choose an investing in altcoin. The movement price of altcoins are not depend on their development sometimes, but it is a pump from some user maybe the owner or developer itself. Different with bitcoin which has a difficult way to make pump or dump and also we don't know the owner itself. The movement price of bitcoin only depend on development or something that happened to it. So as most people will take a decision to sell and buy based on an information against it.

Today, the volatility of BTC is still seen. The BTC [rice is not only at that high rate. It is normal and still struggling at a stable price. However, I still hope that we can meet again BTC reaching at least $13k.
The market dominance of BTC has been seen this long time and probably will always dominate the market price. I also feel curious how the next market will be, still dominance fully or altcoins will have few chances for growing?

As you mentioned, Bitcoin has been dominating the crypto world since like forever. It has been the best ever since and people trust it more than than any other coin. So people invest in it without hesitation. After the reduction in the price of Bitcoins people started buying and stalking it, knowing that it will have an increase in its price soon, and that is what is happening. With so much dominance, I think Alt coins are in a bit of trouble considering the fact that there are so many tokens/coins on one side and then there is only one Bitcoin on the other.
July 06, 2019, 02:12:48 PM
The bitcoin dominance has been and will always be there on the crypto market, bitcoin is the original so people have invested in it for years before turning to the altcoins, what happend back in 2017 is that bitcoin got so popular people started fueling it and its price went up, and that gave the investors that this crypto market has potential to score big and so they started investing in the other coins other than bitcoin, until shit hit the roof and regulations came hard and the cryptomarket lost its high value, but bitcoin remained strong because it has a very large user base unlike the other coins.
July 06, 2019, 12:06:38 PM
I think this is a natural cycle when some or most people only focus on bitcoin and sell some of their altcoins to buy bitcoin, if bitcoin is stable maybe altcoin will move positively
July 06, 2019, 12:02:26 PM
Dangerously high? It is the most secure payment network on the planet, why do you call that dangerously high? What exactly is dangerous about having such a strong network that drives adoption because it builds trust among people around the globe?

IMO the market dominance does't really matter as long the project delivers in long term, investors look at Bitcoin differently, a much superior assets compared to existing ones with high volatility. Many alts have different purpose and never would be as popular as bitcoin, if bitcoin moons insanely high of course people would sell their pairs to join the ride. Only good alts could co-exist with Bitcoin and grow together, thats why i hold both bitcoin and alts to avoid scenario where it bleed out all your potential gains
July 06, 2019, 10:45:58 AM
It is not dangerously high, its not actually even a bad thing, I mean bitcoin could have the 90%+ of market all of its own, as long as the market is still stable there is no problem.
At best case that would make all other coins go up as well to match the dominance and make it at least 50% bitcoin and 50% others but at worst it will keep going up, not like bitcoin going down would be caused by market dominance since nobody cares about it when its going up so it would be for some other reason but in the end even if bitcoin goes down that would make the dominance go down as well. That is why market dominance of bitcoin does mean that bitcoin went up without all other coins going up but aside from that it means nothing and creates no sort of danger to us at all and we can just ignore it.

I have same opinion with you that dominance of Bitcoin is high.
This is will bad for altcoins. Because the rising of altcoins is when dominance of bitcoin is low.
