Imagine Bitcoin as a large mothership and the altcoins as small ships that accompany it, all together forming a large system, the crypto market. The mothership is gigantic compared to the others, being larger than all the other ships combined. Now imagine the amount of energy needed for this mothership to take off. It needs a colossal amount of energy to take off and always leaves before the smaller ships. In order to take off, it receives energy both from outside the system (new money, which was not yet in the crypto market), and it receives energy from the system itself (money that leaves the altcoins and migrates to Bitcoin, causing Bitcoin's dominance to rise).
The higher the speed and height reached by the mothership during takeoff, the greater the energy drawn from internal and external sources. However, after reaching a certain level, the mothership returns part of the accumulated energy to the smaller ships (i.e., there is a decrease in bitcoin dominance) and these secondary ships begin their own takeoff, usually reaching greater speed and height than the mothership.
Therefore, if you invest in altcoins, even if it is ETH, understand that you are in a smaller spaceship and need to respect the natural order of things, that is, wait for the mother ship (bitcoin) to complete its takeoff process until it is finally your ship's turn to take off as well. To the Moon? Maybe. But I wouldn't wait that far. I would leave this smaller spaceship before the promised arrival at the Moon and seek shelter in the mother ship, which, although it moves more slowly due to its gigantic size, is always the safest spaceship.
