Bull market is coming soons guys . Only 4k left if btc goes to 84k just start buying eth and alt coins Specially ETH BTC XRP going to give good return and my favourite one is CHAINLINK It’s not financial advice …
If you are buying to flip for profit than why tf are you wasting time with BTC? Both Solana and ETH do a 4.5x while if BTC hit ATH it would only be a 2x for the vast majority of holders. I know math is hard and all but ...
Most coins in general are 95% or more down tbh And this is meme coin not some major blockchain like ETH or SOL etc People are getting sick of meme coins in general I feel, the losers from last run are far more than the few winners and most people won’t put their money in them anymore
That's literally not correct at all lmao. SPY/ QQQ are literally a combination of all of the top traded companies. BTC is not made up of the top Altcoins. Altcoins follow BTC because majority of Altcoins are traded against BTC (or ETH, SOL, etc) which a large portion are traded with using BTC.
Alt season was a retail thing of the past. If you exclude a small handful of them, ETH, etc. the rest is just garbage destined for death. Alt coin bag holders will downvote, but it is what it is.
I went for BTCC. Have 80% in actual BTC/ETH, 20 in the ETFs
Pretty much what everyone does, and it’s this sort of group sentiment people fall into that keeps them from making good decisions individually. Take the 2020 crash for example. The most popular sentiment kept calling for lower and lower before they bought in. The masses followed this sentiment, not realizing they already had a great deal in front of them. You had sub $100 ETH back then, with people saying they’d only buy when it got down to $10 or $20. It never got close to that number, and those who went against the grain made out quite well.

Worked for me in the past, swap to ETH when ratio is 50:1, swap back to BTC when ratio drops to 20/25:1. No guarantee that this works again in the future.

The 1-week wait is the canonical ETH↔Arbitrum bridge, not Hyperliquid's deposit. If you're already on Arbitrum native USDC, the in-app HL deposit is usually the cheap path — just pick the landing (HyperCore margin vs HyperEVM). Those are not the same mailbox. From any other chain, naming one bridge is a guess. Across / Jumper / deBridge can all print the best or the worst quote on the same pair an hour later. I look at net out after every hop and whether minOut is actually set, so a dead route doesn't still eat gas. Parking on a CEX just to hop onto Arb is a different failure mode (geo-block / KYC freeze) than a reverted swap. If you need a no-account multi-chain swap first to get onto a chain that has a clean HL route: bitfork.app — not a CEX, homepage fee 0.3%. The 0 / 0.1 / 0.25 / 0.5% control is a tip, not a router fee. Same wallet also has perps on 100+ Hyperliquid markets; that's the trading side, not a deposit bridge.
Don't know, guys. I stopped playing this casino in 2023. All crypto that I didn't sold then I use now only for payments, what it had been designed initially for, lol. I even haven't converted it to stablecoins, and pay directly with ETH or what I have. Yes, it was fun in 2021, but not now.
BTC, SOL, ETH. Everything else is potentially on the chopping block.
Replying to my own post but ETH looking great
ETH is looking good for a short here. Target $2250
Trade BTC for ETH ...... whaaaaaaat???????? Please don't do that.
ETH is breaking out against BTC in the daily charts. If that break out confirms and continues, you will do better holding ETH than BTC. But that’s a big if at the moment, chart needs confirmation and even then it’s just a TA indicator
The way it’s worded: “swap 4 ETH for 0.25BTC” suggests this poster went from ETH to BTC and so is almost 2x up from this move. That is good value.
I personally used chatgpt to start learning about crypto by asking it about terms, whats happening, etc. Just make sure if you use it to tell it to give you the sources it gathered info about cause it does make mistakes. I use it as an advanced google os sort. I have the plus plan. Some other good sites are: Coindesk Coingecko Coinmarketcap Coinglass Tradingeconomics Defilama Tradingview Glassnode Most people here will tell you to buy mostly BTC or ETH. They are the safest. If you want to buy any other altcoin you should do your own research. Search within the top 50 -100 coins. Influencers, youtubers, and people in socials either want to hype their coins for you to buy and be their exit strategy, if its memecoins the same, they might be even insiders. So social media and influencers its noise mostly. Listen to it, but dont depend your decisions on them. Many factors drive prices. I invested in some altcoins i believe in after i did my research. They are in rwa, some layer 1, defi... i wont name them cause i dont want to influence anyone or seem like i promote them. Some people might say they are useless. I dont. They have higher upside than btc and eth but they also have more risk than btc and eth. I might have profits, i might not have. I accepted that and put money i can afford to lose. You should do the same if you want to invest in alts... and always have in mind an exit strategy on when to sell. You might sell some when the price goes up and leave others for a later probability of price rising. Always check the news about your coins and the market and economy in general. Good luck.

Post is by: TradeSquire and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: https://youtube.com/live/LxpjM1Hjtec?feature=share Caught this ETHUSDT setup on the 15-minute chart today. The idea was based on a **bullish breakout retest**, where price broke above the key level and then came back to test it as support. The setup had **5/6 confluences**, so it qualified as a high-confidence setup according to the system. **Trade levels:** **Direction:** LONG **Entry zone:** 2,483.29 – 2,485.95 **Stop loss:** 2,459.98 **TP1:** 2,526.57 **TP2:** 2,541.97 **Risk/Reward:** 1:1.5 to TP1 / 1:2.1 to TP2 **Current status:** TP1 has been reached and price is now pushing toward **TP2**. What makes this trade interesting is that it wasn't based on chasing the move after it happened. The setup was identified around the breakout/retest area, then monitored as the conditions confirmed. I'm testing a workflow where the market is **automatically scanned for setups**, and qualified signals can then be **automatically executed** rather than relying on manual entries. I'll share the result once the trade reaches TP2 or the setup invalidates. For anyone trading ETH on lower timeframes: would you hold the remaining position for TP2 here, or take more profit after TP1? *For discussion/educational purposes only. This is not financial advice.

all the downvotes in the world won't bring ETH back up to 4k sorry
Deposit cash from bank into Coinbase, buy ETH. How’s that not trivial?
u have no ETH in ur wallet, you need Eth to send USDC (it is a very small amount for 1 transaction) go get like 1$ worth of ETH and deposit it into ur wallet. then ull be able to send ur USDC to whereever you want.
Easy long on ETH here target $8250.
You need to fund your wallet with ETH for gas to pay for transactions/sending Swap TETHER to USDC. Normally I wouldn’t suggest using your wallets native swap function but if you don’t know at all what you’re doing it’s probably the safest move. Send USDC to coinbase account and cash out.
ETH, SOL, HYPE, PUMP, CARDS, ORE All have substantial usage, revenue, and relative valuations, easy as that.
Most of my holdings are equally split between ETH and btc
I’d recommend Trust Wallet for a general-purpose mobile wallet. It supports many networks and assets, including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, USDT and USDC.
a solid close like this means that's more up move I guess ETH could touch that $2500 level soon
ETH people are so lucky it's disgusting
There is no was someone is actually asking BTC or ETH 🤣
Post is by: coinsocialbase and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1vwzfot/ethereum_sentiment_right_now_25_fomo_vs_only_10/ Been digging through the last six hours of ETH-related chatter and the split is interesting. FOMO sits at 25% versus FUD at just 10%, which on the surface looks like a clearly bullish tilt. But the actual content of the bullish posts isn't blind hype, a lot of it is tied to specific things like institutional demand and rising on-chain activity, not just "number go up" energy. What stood out to me is that even within that optimistic majority, there's a real undercurrent of caution. A decent chunk of posts are flagging potential pullbacks and resistance levels that could cap short-term gains, so it's not like everyone's ignoring risk. It reads more like cautious optimism than euphoria, people are watching macro conditions and liquidity just as much as they're watching price. The low FUD number is probably the more telling data point honestly. It's not that people think ETH is guaranteed to rip, it's that there's very little active bearishness or panic in the conversation right now. That gap between FOMO and FUD (25 vs 10) suggests the crowd leans hopeful but isn't fully convinced yet. What's everyone else seeing on their end, does this cautious-bullish vibe match what you're noticing in ETH discussions elsewhere, or does it feel different depending on where you're looking? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CryptoMarkets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
So tell me, what is the actual link between a chain’s development (SOL/ETH) and its coin price going up? What is their true purpose beyond paying transaction fees? When a chain hits all-time highs across various metrics, how does that performance actually convert into value for token holders? If you use SOL or ETH as collateral to borrow money, the liquidation risk is exceptionally high because they can easily lose 70% of their value within a single year. Staking is essentially just supply dilution—if staking rewards were paid out in USDT, I’d view it differently. Besides collateral and fee payments, why else would anyone buy SOL or ETH? Cut the boilerplate talk about "infrastructure." The Solana chain is a great venue for transferring funds and tokenizing assets, but I can use the network without holding a massive stack of SOL. If you look at it honestly, aren't people just buying SOL, waiting for it to pump to $300, and dumping it onto the next person? The same goes for ETH. BTC has absolute scarcity—something that has never truly existed in human history—which is why it holds value. Meanwhile, SOL and ETH are minted every single day. Furthermore, just pull up a weekly (1W) chart or higher. A real growth asset shouldn't have a chart as ugly as SOL, ETH, or the rest of the crypto market. Look at the charts of actual revenue-generating growth stocks like GOOGL, AAPL, META, or even KO—*that* is what a real growth asset looks like. In reality, SOL and ETH are just trading in a massive range: SOL between $8 and $290+, ETH between $1,400 and $4,900. It’s been six years and they still can't break out of this range, which is terrible. Sure, you can still turn a profit by buying at the bottom of the range and selling on the way up to the peak, but isn't that just buying and waiting to dump it on someone dumber than you?
ETH is a joke lol 
What’s your thesis for buying ETH?
BTC, ETH, SOL, NEXO, XRP - only solid ones
>Crypto can survive without ETH, I'm not sure it can survive without BTC. God, I don't really know... the Ethereum blockchain was the first one hosting stablecoins, and I think the crypto space wouldn't be the same without USDT/USDC. So I don't really know if crypto could survive without ETH.
It's always like that. They act like it's dead at the bottom and regret not buying at the bottom when it reaches above 4k every time. Some people live in the moment a little too much, I swear this happens at every bottom. Is above 150% growth somehow bad? Not sure but these people do love calling any dip an absolute sign of coin death and we're talking ETH here it's no joking matter.
As a holder of mostly ETH. Don't do it.
Its a common scam for crypto noobies. The wallet pulls the public price from some random website without realizing that the trading volume is literally $0. When you decide to "cash in" your fake coins for BTC it'll require you to pay some ETH/bTC/SOL transfee fees to get it. You pay the transfer/transaction fee to "sell" it and nobody ends up buying it because it has zero volume. It's just a scam to get you to pay some transfer fee that they keep, leaving you with nothing
Honestly, other than BTC and a few coins that actually provide some form of value retention for holders, like HYPE, I think most other coins have no real value. Yes, that includes ETH, SOL, and BNB. You buy them because you hope the price goes up so you can eventually dump them on someone else at a higher price. These coins don't really do anything other than pay transaction fees on their respective chains. Some people will argue that crypto is more volatile and therefore offers more upside than stocks. That just tells me they haven't traded small-cap stocks. Tickers like USAR, SMCI, and plenty of others can easily move 10% in a single day. On the weekly chart, swings of 50–70% over just 3–4 weeks are completely normal. The important difference is that these companies are actually running businesses. They have real assets, financial statements, revenues, expenses, and accounting records. With crypto? The growth of a chain doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the price of its token. The Solana chain can keep hitting all-time highs across various metrics while SOL still dumps for 10 consecutive months without a meaningful recovery. ETH can do the same. I genuinely don't understand what people who invest in altcoins like AVAX, Litecoin, Cardano, etc. are thinking. Honestly, they'd probably have a much better chance of eventually breaking even if they traded small-cap stocks instead. At least there is an actual business underneath. I'd put their chances of recovering their money at 1,000x higher than with those garbage coins. I can at least understand SOL, ETH, and BNB because they're large caps with a history of recovering after major drawdowns. But even investing in those is pretty risky, because there is ultimately nothing underneath them that provides a real fundamental floor for the price. **In conclusion, unless we're talking about BTC or tokens with a clear mechanism for preserving or returning value to holders, investing in crypto feels largely pointless compared to other asset classes.** >
Go for it. I hold neither but ETH has higher upside in my opinion
If you look at the price chart ETH/BTC since 2021, you will do the opposite.
How old are you? Will ETH increase faster than Bitcoin?
ETH. Close second BTC.
I don’t understand how everyone can not see that ETH has a real world use. It’s actually being used every second of every day for real transactions.. Bitcoin doesn’t have that.
I only own ETH because it has a real use that doesn’t depend on hope or maybe
Should of bought ETH @ 1500$ what making you think now after the run up we been having …hmmm .. now over 2400$ ??????? Plus pending on your price for bitcoin ..when bought ?
Instead of asking about price it’s important to look at fundamentals, tokenomics, transaction speed, how many developers have unique projects on the network. For example businesses that have been technology using smart contracts on the ETH network. Outside of Bitcoin that makes ETH and SOL of interest to me, and more recently SUI
Your instinct is already pretty solid here. BTC and ETH aren't really competing for the same job, which is probably why the choice feels harder than it should. BTC is basically built to be the "buy it and leave it" asset, fixed supply, longest track record, nothing you really need to keep tabs on. If low-stress and long-term is genuinely the goal, that's exactly the profile it's built for. ETH is a different kind of bet. You're not just holding it hoping the price goes up, you're holding a stake in whatever gets built on top of it, DeFi, NFTs, real-world asset tokenisation, most of it settles back to Ethereum in some way. That's the utility edge you're picking up on. The trade-off is it's a more complex asset with more moving parts, and it can be staked if you want it actually doing something rather than just sitting there, worth looking into if "leave it there" is still the plan. Since you're already holding BTC from a good entry, adding ETH isn't really an either/or decision, it's just not putting all your eggs in a single basket. A lot of people who want simplicity end up somewhere around 70/30 or 60/40 BTC/ETH for exactly that reason, not because one's objectively better. Only thing I'd genuinely flag: don't let "set and forget" turn into "forget it exists." Doesn't need to be active management, but even checking in once a year is worth doing. Good luck with it.
Easy short on ETH here target $2169
At 0.25 BTC for 7.8 ETH, is that good value then?
don’t think ETH will have a shining moment anytime soon
Standard Chartered predicts $500K Bitcoin by 2030, but ETH will outperform BTC over the coming years on a percentage basis
BTC only needs to stay scarce and secure. Alts actually need a reason for people to keep using them. ETH has that ecosystem but for coins like LTC surviving isnt the same as staying relevant
This is not all or nothing. You can buy some ETH without completely draining your BTC. The right % ratio depends on your risk tolerance. BTC is "safer" (if such a thing exists in this space). ETH has more upside AND downside potential. Crypto can survive without ETH, I'm not sure it can survive without BTC.
Currently at 80/20 ratio ETH/BTC but slowly moving to 60/40. ETH - undisputed blockchain rail BTC - currency of the future
Bitcoin only, bub. If you understand why Bitcoin is the bomb, then you also would understand why ETH is not.
Nooo, did that once . My most costly crypto mistake. ETH might outperform BTC in a bull run but it falls back to hard
Post is by: Civil-Mine-4168 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1vwfbcj/the_btc_breakout_was_a_treasury_liquidity_event/ Quick reconstruction of the week, because the sequencing matters more than the price action: Aug 18 — SEC proposes "Regulation Crypto Assets," easing disclosure requirements for certain offerings. Aug 19 — Treasury announces long-dated bond buybacks at least double in size, $2B to $4B+ per operation. Yields drop. Aug 20 — BTC breaks the six-week range, tops $71K. Roughly $3B of shorts liquidated in 24h, largest since 2021. Spot BTC ETFs take $606M. Aug 21-22 — BTC settles around $77.3K, +22.7% on the week. ETH \~$2,360. XRP +39%. Fear and Greed 72. Two of the three catalysts are policy, and policy can be withdrawn. The buyback expansion is the load-bearing one — it's a real change in dollar liquidity, and it's why this looked more like a macro risk-asset repricing than a crypto narrative pump. The part I think is being misread: everyone is calling a top off the Greed reading. But perp funding is only running about +4.7% annualised on the month, and the trailing week cooled to +3.8% — roughly half the long-run +8.4% average. After a +22% week you'd expect funding to be screaming. It isn't. That implies this leg was driven by spot and ETF flow rather than leveraged longs piling in. Which is a genuinely different risk profile than a squeeze top: fewer forced sellers stacked up on the way down, but also much less short fuel left on the way up. The 24h liquidation tape has already flipped two-sided (\~$858M longs vs \~$816M shorts), so the easy direction is gone. What I'm watching rather than predicting: \- Whether ETF inflows keep printing $200M+ days now the squeeze fuel is spent \- Whether funding actually normalises upward, which is when the crowded-long argument becomes real \- Dominance. Alt gains so far look like beta off a BTC breakout, not rotation — the tell would be dominance breaking down while BTC goes sideways. Curious what the bear case is beyond "it went up too fast." Anyone still short, what's the thesis? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Diversification is key. BTC and ETH. Win win.
You’d be better off finding some money to invest in ETH separately. Bitcoin is way more useful than Ethereum.
Swapped my BTC for ETH on several occasions @ about 0.025, no regrets at all. And I think 0.03 is a good entry point, but of course there are no guarantees either way.
Why is there a giant bond market bigger than the stock market? Why do people speculate in real estate? Or gold? It’s not to 10x their money, it’s to store their value without losing it to inflation. That’s what Bitcoin’s created to do. Someday it could eat into all those assets, thus becoming the most valuable asset ever. Eth does something sure, but it’s nothing compared to say gold or the global bond market. Also, what ETH does other chains do better (like Solana).
Nonononono. First, you always should keep most of your portfolio in BTC. Second, ETH is not a shitcoin, yes? But if you actually would look at the graph, It´s not clear that it wins any relevance against BTC, in fact, the opposite seems to be true. Also you have to consider the intrinsic risks, you´re depending on the Ethereum fundation and the big big stakers. I mean, all of they want the price to go up, and if you move around DeFi you may find ETH a lot more comfortable, but if it is not the case, is an unncesary move like... what are you trying to achieve doing so exactly?
What is this "relevance" that is a "store of value" you speak of...? If you mean cultural relevance, sure. But a store of value is just that. ETH _does something_ ... other than generate headlines and create frothy late stage capitalist vibes.
Bitcoin has wayyyy more relevance than ETH. Solana and others are in competition with ETH (and frankly perform way better in both user participation and price action). No other crypto competes with bitcoin. It’s THE public scarce decentralized store of value. No second best.
I mean ones a more mature asset and been around longer, I'd argue the fact everybody is so sure btc is the better long term move is a bit short sided. I own both, I DCA to both, I'd be about equally confident buying both currently at these prices I look at them like large/small cap ETFs. People can downvote me but I'll buy ETH all day below or around 2k and I'll continue slowly DCAing into BTC.
ETH is not a good store of value, the utility does not lead to increased price of the underlying asset. If you want to make money from Ethereum, build a business on top of it. If you want to build wealth by acquiring an appreciating asset, that's what Bitcoin is for.
Very weird, wanting to sell BTC and park it in ETH lol Usually it's the other way around
>Ethereum network isn't going anywhere. So? I agree with you that the *network* isn't going anywhere. That doesn't mean shit for ETH price though because ETH doesn't capture value from network usage. Ethereum can 10x or 100x in network value/transactions in a few years and ETH could still be the same price or lower.
I was all in on ETH and a few years ago I moved 30% to BTC. It is now worth more than my ETH. I’d diversify at best if trading any BTC for ETH.
You cannot borrow conviction. Make your own research, convince yourself that the move you are doing is right. I will make you endure downturns and you won't be asking yourself why you even bought in the first place. I did that for both BTC and ETH, and I held since 2017. Don't listen to people online. I sold my 100 000 LINK for like 10K $ long time ago cause someone on this sub said that they saw the founder on Bahamas and was told the project won't be continued which was obviously a lie. I lacked conviction, don't make the same mistake.
I split it up about 10 years ago between ETH and Bitcoin, it was a horrible mistake.
Keep your BTC ,never swap for ETH !!!
Personally my ETH position outweighs my BTC and I am very much considering making the opposite move right now. On the 3 year long term (my personal horizon where I plan to use some crypto to fund some personal expenses) I think BTC will out perform ETH. All speculation ofc and do plan on keeping eggs in both baskets.
In 2022 I was able to swap 4 ETH for 0.25 BTC. Probably the best trade I ever made.
There has yet to be a single event in the last 3 years where ETH ended up being the better long term move than BTC
Easy short on ETH here target $2150
Not only is 2500 a nice round and psychological number, ETH's 200 week also rests right below it, not that the 200 week is as useful for ETH as it is for BTC. 2500 could be a formidable opponent. Light the beacons.
I've been in crypto since 2018, first 3 years were non stop checking and trading. During those years the only thing to trade was BTC and ETH really. I had loads of both. When alt coins started appearing, I traded most of my ETH to SMITHEREEENS same for 2 full bitcoins. MEME coins made it worse. By the time NFTs came out I was done trading and went full DCA no looking at charts. So. From experience. You'll stop looking once you feel some pain lol unless you are a master at it.
BTC and doge only . Maybe ETH as well . Everything else is noise
I use coinbase for that. Don't know if its the best way, but it's the cheapest I found. About 1% to get my crypto off exchange and dollars in my bank. Just make sure you use USDC and ETH network or you'll lose funds!
Whatever I can invest at the end of the month I do 50% VWCE , 25% BTC , 25% ETH
Solo BTC, es sencillo es prácticamente todo el ecosistema cripto lo demás es ETH y stablecoins, puedes mantener tu inversión vigilada y sin tantos dolores de cabeza ya todos sabemos que Bitcoin es volátil pero las alts lo son mucho más y por no decir siempre su desempeño es casi siempre decepcionante
I had 3 "phases" in my crypto investing, in each of the 3 cycles since 2017: \- When I started I only had BTC, and kept it this way for some years. Just stacking, never sold. \- Next cycle I remained heavily in BTC, but sold a small part and bought ETH, and then later SOL. But seeing the shitcoins and NFTs going crazy made me greedy, so I bought and tried to trade this stuff, focusing on "utility" and "art". Roundtripped almost everything, some shitcoins I held for years hoping that they would return to previous. \- Last cycle I started with BTC, ETH, SOL, sold all the rest. Made good money on these 3 coins, but again greed took over when I saw the memes blowing up, people getting stupidly rich on twitter, etc. Tried to trade memecoins, made money on some, took big losses on others, overall it was bad. It was also a pain keeping track of all the coins, all the transactions, it was hell. The only thing that saved me from losing a lot of money was that I kept BTC as the biggest part of my portfolio, and gambling with 10-25% of what I had. Looking back, it would be better simply holding BTC, with a small bag of ETH and SOL. So for this cycle I want to have some "rules" in place so things don't get out of control again: \- BTC will be the majority of the portfolio, right now it is at 50%, I want to keep it at least at this level. And I have an amount that I don't plan on selling ever. \- HYPE, ZEC, ETH, SOL are around 40%, and I plan on taking profits on small amounts as we climb. \- 10% to gamble on new stuff, alts that have potential, memecoins, NFTs, etc. 4-5 coins at the same time is the limit, avoiding rotating to the new hot stuff of the week. Will take profits aggresively to cash, so I don't end up using the profits to buy more shit.
Coins on trading markets aren't tied to USD. They are tied to each other. On DeFi markets in particular, coins are traded based on the value of other coins. Thus there are swap pairs for BTC/ETH or BTC/BNB or ETH/BNB. If one goes down, they are still trading at the going swap rates, more or less, in the instant. Arbitrage bots make some quick swaps and then dump the coins for USD or funnel in some USD to buy up more undervalued coins. It happens very fast. The result is relative stability across the market, while the bot owners rake in the dividends, no matter if the price is going up or down.
ETH has been in a consolidating phase since January 2021... If SOL is a memecoin, ETH is a shitcoin.
BTC and ETH are the only coins with room to grow. All other are shitcoins.
Look at last cycle and see alts are trash including ETH. To think you will pick one of the 100k coins that beat BTC, good luck
BTC, ETH, SOL. That’s my trifecta imho
A Weekly CHoCH is exactly intention we'd like to see closing above the POC after reacting with strength from the deviation and support below. NFA but Ive been for months, but as ETHBTC is leading the way my stacking has been almost all ETH, and when its time Ill rotate again, etc.
The whole crypto market is connected by automatic trading systems and basically all altcoins are connected through Altcoin/BTC and Altcoin/ETH pair. That's why everything rises or crashes at the same time.
Literally none of them, with the possible exception of ETH by virtue of being the biggest and for staking which BTC can't do.
