It's interesting how everything thinks Bitcoin is the thing that individuals are sitting tight for… NO. Bitcoin is hard forking with '2x' which is Segwit2x. There is no new authority name yet and practically all huge trades, wallet suppliers and retailers will acknowledge both and see which one ends up as the winner. That '2x' chain is what will profit on the grounds that conceivably it will be worth to such an extent if not more than BTC.

Bitcoin gold is simply one more altcoin that you can get for nothing as a reward however the esteem will be essentially lower and up to this point nobody has turned out and said they'll bolster it.

Bitcoin is soaring since it appears like the hard fork will come without issue in November and everybody needs to twofold their cash. Concerning Litecoin, it went up simply because of its nuclear swap capacities with BTC and '2x'.

Ethereum isn't going anyplace since it truly has nothing to do with Bitcoin now and all the cash is streaming out of altcoins and going into Bitcoin as of right now.

I think basically because bitcoin started it all (cryptocurrencies). Bitcoin is the original of it's kind. It is the most advance, safiest, highest market value, it is the most popular so therefore It is the best crypto-investment above all others.

Bitcoin and Ethereum is having a great leap in pricing. Ethereum has now breached the $400 mark while Bitcoin is now on $8000. However, Litecoin doesn't have movements this year unlike Dash which was adopted by a large company. Just wait and you will be amazed by the market in a few yeara

Ethereum, my latest favorite coin, has now reached 470$ and I think this will continue and will be more than 500$ in no time.
Ethereum has been sleeping for a while during which, bitcoin is in the moon. Litecoin has been maintaining its dollar value also when bitcoin's price was surprisingly increasing.
I guess it's 2 weeks now that bitcoin has stabled to 8000$ and up and making me think other people are now filling their bags up seeing ETH's & LTC's latest price.

Now that ETH exploded out of its range to new ATHs, this post is fun to revisit. Hell, even LTC is pumping now.

This looks like old school pump action to me: bitcoin sideways --> altcoin pump --> altcoin correction --> bitcoin pump. The money gets pumped back and forth between BTC and altcoins.

It's gonna be a fun month......

The growth has got a wild spread around the entire digital currency network. Today the price of bitcoin has gone above $8250, ethereum has gone above $450. Can expect the same level of growth to continue as we're almost a month away from the year end as well just a week for the last month of the year which is supposed to provide a large scale growth.

I don't see enough reasons and incentives from the miners to start pumping these coins up. Real-world applications, bitcoin is the top dog; ETH and LTC are trailing behind. Not everyone utilizes these smart contracts and other fancy features. People just need to store value and send/receive it using a reliable method/coin/w.e. which is given by bitcoin already. Aside from that, everyone is departing the altcoin markets and pours the money to bitcoin to prepare for the bitcoin gold fork and 2x on November, so that could partly explain it as well.

People don't use smart contracts but this will change in future when more users get familiar with and start to use advanced features. So maybe not now but soon we will see ETH exploding.

Is just a matter of waiting and patience, because I believe that it will go that way. They have potentiality to earned profit just like with bitcoin. Though they are far from each other because of it's popularity in the market but I know there is a time for ethereum to shine and be recognized by more investors.

The father and the leading digital currency over the advance technology of the blockchain is Bitcoin, it is the most popular cryptocurrency throughout the world no doubt why it has a huge rise of price over the market this past years and months, Yes of course Litecoin and ETH have their own improvements but Bitcoin has it own league to begin with, the foundation and the improvement of the community drives the bitcoin to stay to the top over the altcoins.

One of the reason why Bitcoin is the only one to rise and not Etherium or Litecoin because they are separate projects. Bitcoin improvement or upgrades does not reflect with those two development. They have different developers and set of community. Aside from that, the higher Bitcoin become the lesser we have to pay on those two in BTC.

Because of bitcoin fork happening in october 25 people are converting all the altcoins into bitcoin so that they are in assumption of getting free bitcoin gold after fork. Still it’s not decided completely now people are buying or converting altcoin into bitcoin.

Well said. I do have the same assumption too.

The fork is one reason and amazon welcoming bitcoin is also.
This fork makes no bad effect to bitcoin and that is the reason many users invested more bitcoin and converting they’re hold altcoin into bitcoin for a more BitcoinG free. It makes sense as it was not like bitcoin cash that bitcoin price is not increasing this rapidly fast.

I got an information from a friend about amazon adaptation to bitcoin as an option that will be out after the fork. Is it true? Maybe or not? But we’ll see as it might be a huge impact if it will happen.

On what grounds are we suppose to take that statement as a fact ? Just because you're concluding it ? Your opinion isn't any different from the rest.

- Biitcoin gold will end up just like BCH,trash.Free money for a while and then everyone goes back to bitcoin.
- Not really,there are lot of other reasons for Litecoin's success.I don't need to go into the technical details for now but I totally disagree.

So ? That is not ETH's fault.The market decides what prospers and what lives in the shades of black.

People are selling their altcoins like ethereum and litecoin so they could gather more bitcoin. More bitcoins, more free coins. I don't know if it's legit but as what I have read, only those with minimum of 1 btc will get the free forked coins.

Bitcoin is the main crypto currency, and most of the people are focusing on bitcoin. Some time when the bitcoin price remain as stable so they invest their bitcoin in other crypto currencies, but when they realize that the bitcoin price is going to increase, they try to sell all the altcoin they are holding and convert it into bitcoin. So that is the reason that when the bitcoin price is increasing the other altcoin prices do not move.

because of a very simple reason:
- bitcoin has real usage so it is adopted more and more every day
- altcoins like ether does not have any real usage so their adoption is capped to pump and dumps only.

right now ETH is in a bubble which needs bursting. it is still resisting it though. but it will have a very hard time rising more than this.
as for litecoin, it is still above 0.01BTC which it take as a good sign, this coin keeps its price up but there is not much reason for it to rise now. maybe in the near future when Lightning Network became more popular with its Atomic Swap LTC can be used everywhere.

Every time I check the price of bitcoin this day it’s continue to explode and now it reach 4800$ no doubt that many people have high believe in bitcoin potential but I see Ethereum price $314.84 increase 2.24% and litecoin $56.19 increase also into 10.19% according to coinmarketcap data chart I also have a high believe in this two altcoin soon we can see this coin pump and go to the moon.

Bitcoin Gold is the current hype and everyone is looking forward to getting some free coins. So I would rather sell some Alt coins and buy bitcoins now, to get in on some more free coins. I can always sell these Bitcoin Gold coins later and then buy back some Bitcoin or the Alt coins I have sold.

Bitcoin Gold also look much better than most of these other Alt coins. ^smile^

I guess a lot of people sell their altcoins to gets btc for 25/Oct. With the 2 next hard fork a lot of people could earn btc just for having btc.
This can explain why a lot of people choose to exchange. In the past I remember before hard fork "BCH" there was an impressive dump of LTC :O after a couple of months, the price was again to the past level.

Bitcoin is rising but not other crypto currencies the possible reason for this can be:-
People are mostly investing on bitcoins which means the demand for bitcoin increases but on the other side. Due to limited bitcoins available in market and mostly peopleare holding bitcoins the supply is very less. In that case the value get increase.

If we look at the data, the year's ethereum rise reaches thousands of percent while bitcoin is only hundreds of percent, it proves that almost all cryptocurrency prices rise not just bitcoin.

Bazinga!

because bitcoin is a useful thing. it is a real cryptocurrency not just a useless token like ethereum is. bitcoin is also decentralized and without any kind of premine or ICO and also it is adopted by more than just speculators who want to trade and make money from it. so the demand for bitcoin is always increasing with both these groups (speculators and currency users) will increase.

on the other hands ETH is just a token for speculation and making profit (more fiat or more bitcoin profit). and the only reason it has ever risen has been the ICO hype of this year plus the massive pump that it had earlier this year. and when an altcoin enters a bubble, it will continue to go down even if it is a slow descend.

I am still new in crypto,
Previously I thought when BTC is on the rise, alts will rise as well because its price is related directly to bitcoin
It turns out when BTC is on the rise, alts will dump because many people want to buy BTC Lips sealed

People have high hopes for bitcoin gold or upcoming fork so they are just selling all their alts for bitcoin so despite price of bitcoin is increasing altcoin's price is pretty much stable because in terms of bitcoin their price have dropped over 15% in last 24 hour.

Better check litecoin price, it is also increasing with bitcoin today.

Litecoin rising too, you can see it on coinmarketcap.
I think ETH will fall soon to 150-200 USD again.
Why BTC rise? Because is the best cryptocurrency

The whole Bitcoin community is ecstatic right now because it is continually surging up and can even reach $6,000 if there would be no major bad news that can hamper its journey. The scheduled hard fork is actually one of the most important impetus why it is pole-vaulting: many are getting out from altcoins they are holding to be converted to Bitcoin in anticipation of the free altcoin named Bitcoin Gold to be distributed to all Bitcoin holders. This is just one of the many twists and turns in the long history of Bitcoin.

We are hoping that within this year the value of Bitcoin can go as high as $7,500 or even $8,000 as the market is now learning to reject unnecessary bad news and comments from many finance CEOs attacking Bitcoin as just another ponzi and scam. The famed Mr. Jamie Dimon decided to never talk about Bitcoin for the time being as he is now called as just another hypocrite as shown by many evidences.

Hopefully, by next year, things would really look rosy for the benefit of Bitcoin as we might be dealing with less bad news in many fronts and there can be an addition of some countries who will accept Bitcoin under a regulated environment. In anticipation for 2018, there are now many people who are 'hodling' Bitcoin as much as they can.
