Most of us know that Bitcoin is now a speculative asset and not much more. It takes forever to send and the costs are way too high. The banks now run it (shocker), but how are the other coins that perform far better going to grow without BTC? When will the exchanges have markets for other coins? In other words, I HAVE to use BTC to buy most other coins on Bittrex, Kraken or Poloniex.
Shouldn't some of the other coins carry more influence over the total market cap (excluding bitcoin)? BTC dominance is about 35% right now but 2-5 and also 35% (ETH, XRP,BCH and LTC).
