Please can a kind-hearted seemian out there answer these questions, or point me in the right direction.
l would dearly like to understand is this......
Why is it that when BITCOIN crashes (oops sorry, I mean undergoes a market correction) Why do all other altcoins bar a few seem follow suit?
Are all these coins in competition with BITCOIN, and if Bitcoin should fail, what of the alts?
I would really appreciate an cryptocurrency-for-dummies answer.
Kryptoe, hope this helps:
1- Since Bitcoin is the first blockchain cryptocurrency, it has set the stage for all others. As such, the value of subsequent coins or tokens is understood in terms of Bitcoin the same way the U.S. dollar is seen as the world's reserve currency. BTC is the base medium of exchange and all other coins can be converted to it and purchased with it.
2- I wouldn't say they're all in competition with BTC, many of the biggest ones maybe, but each is trying to set themselves apart from the other alts based on how similar to BTC or innovative they are.

Thank you, that makes it somewhat more understandable, I do feel its a strange world and a little tricky to fully comprehend.
