Why Bitcoin is the Only Survivor in a Crypto Apocalypse! 👀💰

by

So, here we are, right? The whole world is going up in flames—Israel, Iran, all that fun stuff—and the stock and crypto markets are feeling it. But Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D)? Nah, it’s just sitting there like, “I’m fine! Thanks for asking!” Since yesterday, the total market cap took a nosedive—about 6%. Just fabulous, right?

Sure, Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins are slightly less valuable now, but BTC.D? It’s actually up by 1.4%! What does that even mean? We were all looking forward to a nice little altcoin season, and now BTC’s over here throwing a wrench in the plans, making things all complicated. Thanks a lot, Bitcoin. 🙄

Bitcoin Dominance Rises Despite Geopolitical Drama 🙈

Reports say that Israel’s little ‘let’s bomb Iran’ party caused the markets to crash harder than a teenager learning to drive. Liquidations? Over $1 billion! Just perfect. The total crypto market cap shrunk from $3.4 trillion to $3.2 trillion. Remind me—what’s the stock market’s tagline? “We love a good meltdown!”

During this charming sell-off, Bitcoin had a minor fall of around 3.1%. Meanwhile, altcoins lost so much ground they might as well be crawling. BTC.D rose from 63.8% to 64.7%—I mean, it’s almost like Bitcoin is flexing on the altcoins. Look at me, I’m a big deal!

And you thought this metric was just some fancy math? Nope! It shows us that folks are ditching altcoins faster than I can ditch a bad date. Investors are clearly finding Bitcoin’s relative strength appealing. Because why not, right? Nothing says “stability” like cryptocurrency during a global crisis.

But wait—there’s more! Analysts are sitting around, scratching their heads, pondering when exactly this thrilling altcoin season is going to start. Again, thanks BTC.D, for just ruining it for everyone.

“Looks like the Bitcoin dominance can crash any moment now.
Bullish for Altcoins.”

And over on X (formerly Twitter—oh, the name’s just a giant ‘who cares’), a crypto analyst is like “Guys, BTC.D is going up!” Yeah, great news. I’m just thrilled to hear that.

“Key resistance between 64.31% and 64.63%. If it breaks above, we might still see more upward madness.” Isn’t that peachy?

So what does this all mean? Benjamin Cowen, the wise sage of Into The Cryptoverse, says the ALT/BTC ratio fell from 0.34 to 0.32. So clever of him—why not make it harder for altcoins to catch a break?

He’s expecting the altcoins to lose even more ground. Surprise, surprise! He sees the ratio dipping to 0.25 in no time.

“I used to be bullish on Bitcoin dominance. I still am, but I used to be too,” Cowen posted. Lot of good that did us.

In the same breath, Cowen tells Binance (como se dice ‘understatement’?), that BTC is like the big brother of the crypto family—steady and responsible. “Bitcoin will survive whatever happens,” he says, and he’s probably right—that’s the sad truth. Because let’s be real, not every altcoin can say the same. A few of them will be ‘doing great’ in some garage sale next summer.

“Most altcoins are like fireworks in July—short-lived and gone before you know it.” Isn’t that comforting?

Having said all that, those altcoin investors who dollar-cost averaged (DCA) into altcoins might be crying into their keyboards right about now. The hope for an altcoin season to break even might be on the bookshelf collecting dust until at least November 2025. Just can’t get a break, can they?
