FAQs about Bitcoin, altcoins and stablecoins
Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, a virtual currency designed to act as money. This form of payment cannot be controlled by any one person, group, or entity, which eliminates the need for third-party participation in financial transactions.
Altcoins are any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin, but some also consider Ethereum a non-altcoin because it is from these two cryptocurrencies that the fork occurs. If this is true, then Litecoin is the first altcoin, derived from the Bitcoin protocol and, therefore, an “improved” version of it.
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to have a stable price, with their value backed by a reserve of the asset they represent. To achieve this, the value of any stablecoin is pegged to a commodity or financial instrument, such as the United States dollar (USD), with its supply regulated by an algorithm or demand. The primary goal of stablecoins is to provide an on/off ramp for investors willing to trade and invest in cryptocurrencies. Stablecoins also allow investors to store value since cryptocurrencies, in general, are subject to volatility.
Bitcoin dominance is the ratio of Bitcoin’s market capitalization to the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies combined. It provides a clear picture of Bitcoin’s interest among investors. High BTC dominance typically occurs before and during a bull run, where investors resort to investing in relatively stable, high-market-cap cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. A drop in BTC dominance usually means that investors are moving their capital and/or profits to altcoins in search of higher returns, which usually triggers an explosive altcoin rally.
