I see your point but just a question...

Why are people even using btc right now when ether is a choice on that exchange? For example just taking tron as an example..on binance there is ether/tron pairing and bitcoin/tron pairing. According to coinmarketcap, btc pair is doing about 3 billion in volume while ether pair is doing about 700 million only on binance.

I guess its just confusing for me because assuming this sudden increase in the market is due to the influx of noobs, after looking at transaction fees, why would anyone choose to use btc when they clearly have a better choice at the moment in ethereum? Applying this same logic, I guess if there is a massive dumping of altcoins, why wont people just choose ethereum over bitcoin?

I am bull on bitcoin on the long run....but just trying to make sense of this craziness of today...and i admit..I am also a noob..any insight would be great =)
