BTC's market dominance is like 45%
It was higher on a higher marketcap, so btc lost a lot vs the competition already, 50% or so.
just can't see alt coins eating market dominance to take over BTC. If you "remove" BTC form the marketplace, people lose faith and things will crumble.
Then we are back at psychology, not market fundamentals, which is another thing.
There's only one crypto that could be considered a capital reserve and this is BTC. Additionally, BTC brings in media and this is powerful marketing
Again psychology, not market fundamentals, I only spoke about the market mechanisms, which has nothing to do with btc, it is like saying GOOGLE stock = the tech sector...Exactly the same thing , which is false, it just traces the sector pretty well, and is the biggest actor. If google falls the tech sector most likely falls, due to the market. But on bad news concerning google or btc rather alone, would make it fall by it self even against an possibly growing/ increasing sector/market.
But you are right in what you say, psychology drives the market at the moment, while the institutional investors are waiting, but once bigger cash arrives, psychology matters less, lets hope for some new companies in the sector :)
Psychology might complicate things, since the aspects are hard to quantify compared to market fundamentals. I think we should use both our perspectives to judge the market fairly :)
Peace & thanks for responding honestly :)
