Hello there,
do you think Bitcoin is a bubble and if yes, will it burst soon? The technical disadvantages of BTC are grave and only disadvantageous for the whole altcoin market .. but if Bitcoin plumps, will altcoins, too?
During the last weeks the BTC dominance of the market decreased steadily and also the media and investors now know the advantages of many altcoins (esp. in the top 20).
Will the belief in altcoin advantages prevent the bubble from bursting? Or will everything go down when BTC decreases?
What do you think?
There's so many factors that play into this it's nearly impossible to accurately predict, but fun nonetheless. I don't really believe this is a bubble. We've seen BTC fluctuate tremendously before and then it always corrects accordingly. One thing BTC has going for it is its ability to somehow always seem to recover.
Now, when it comes to altcoins I look at it kind of like the wild west. Anything can happen with altcoins. If BTC were to plunge I do believe it would bring the altcoin market, but they would recover on their own showing more of their own unique advantages as they did. I don't believe altcoins alone could stop the bitcoin bubble from bursting. It could very well eventually shift the power to one of the altcoins in the top 10.
