Just in 12 years bitcoin has gone up from a fraction of cents to $39,000. I do not think any business, any field of investment has outgrown just like bitcoin. Just about a year ago, it was around $10K
The first cryptocurrency that was created is Bitcoin followed by Ethereum, These two coins has maintained a steady lead on all other cryptocurrencies being that they were the first to be adopted cryptocurrencies.
It's not a secret that Bitcoin was the first ever cryptocurrency that was innovated and ever since then, a lot of coins have been created with the same concept.
This is the reason why any movements in bitcoin affects the rest of the cryptocurrency market.
