WHY DO OTHER COINS FOLLOW BITCOIN:
Ever notice how when Bitcoin goes up or down, most other crypto coins do the same? Here’s why
1. Bitcoin is the leader
BTC is the first and biggest crypto. It's like the “gold” of crypto, most investors watch it to judge the whole market.
2. Market psychology
When BTC pumps, people feel confident and start buying other coins (called altcoins). When BTC dumps, fear spreads, and many sell everything not just BTC.
3. Trading pairs
Many altcoins are traded against BTC, not just dollars. If BTC moves, it affects their value directly.
4. Big money follows BTC
Institutional investors, ETFs, and hedge funds usually focus on Bitcoin first and their moves ripple through the rest of the market.
In short:
Bitcoin is the engine of the crypto train if it speeds up or crashes, the rest usually follows.
