Have you noticed how most altcoins seem to move in lockstep with Bitcoin? It's like the entire market dances to BTC's rhythm, regardless of individual project fundamentals. The correlation feels inescapable—when Bitcoin dips, everything else follows suit. Many traders find this frustrating; it limits the potential for true price discovery on alternative assets. Is decoupling possible, or are we stuck watching altcoin performance as just a derivative of Bitcoin's moves?

nah this correlation thing is just opportunity cost in disguise... when btc moves, capital flows back to the safest bet. nobody's truly "stuck" tho, it's just that most alts lack the liquidity depth to support independent price discovery. seen this movie before lol

A collapse in Bitcoin means total defeat; this is our reality... Unless a project can truly become self-sustaining.

nah this correlation matrix shit is exactly why most retail gets liquidated. they think their "fundamentals" matter lol, spoiler alert: they don't. bitcoin dominance isn't a bug, it's literally the entire feature of this rigged game.

How to put it, BTC is the boss, and other coins can only follow suit. This is the reality.

NGL, that's why I still mainly play with BTC. Don't bother wasting effort looking for some divine coin.

A single drop in Bitcoin and the entire army is defeated. This is the reality... Still thinking about fundamentals, it's all an illusion.

The crypto world is like this: when BTC sneezes, everyone catches a cold. No matter how great a project is, it’s useless.
