Other coins from the top 10 by market capitalization are registering smaller gains of 2%-6%.

Bitcoin and bitcoin sv are the only two coins from the top 10 that are in green in the past week.

In the past 24 hours, the total market capitalization jumped by more than 5%, to USD 269.6 billion. Meanwhile, bitcoin’s dominance, or the percentage of the total market capitalization, surpassed 69% again.

Among the top 100 coins by market capitalization, four tokens registered double-digit gains (DRG, XET, OSC, THX), having increased by 10%-17%.

As reported yesterday, chart analysts seem to be turning increasingly bullish on bitcoin, as several different approaches all suggested higher bitcoin prices may be right around the corner.

Sound approaches to buy $BTC for long term holders

1) Divide capital into tranches, buy during panics.

2) DCA.

3) Have a view. View 9000 breaks => long 8500-7200 range. View 9000 holds => long anywhere under 11300.

Opinion, not advice.

Actually LTC and ETH have far more going for them than the rest of the junk pile. 99% of other cryptos will be forgotten five years from now.

Investors are speculating that #Bitcoin will become a "safe haven" (reserve asset) in the future because of its superior monetary attributes (to gold and the dollar).

Nothing can go from zero to being the world's monetary base without speculation.
