$ETH Let’s face it: Bitcoin is the kingpin of the crypto world. When it’s showing off, everyone gets excited, but when it stumbles… oh boy, altcoins don’t just stumble; they crash.

If Bitcoin drops 10%, you can bet your portfolio that altcoins are in full-on panic mode here. You’ll see double red digits all over your screen, and your moonshot investments? Yep, they’ll look more like crater shots.

Why? Well, Bitcoin sets the tone for the market. It’s the kingpin, the OG. Altcoins are like their little brothers: they depend on their big brother’s success to thrive. So when BTC starts to fall, altcoins tend to follow.
