We all know that bitcoin has been flying high since the scaling debate but why aren't Altcoins receiving more attention now that the uncertainty over bitcoins scaling has been resolved for now.
My theory is that Altcoins need the right conditions to thrive. The market doesn't like uncertainty in bitcoin. It doesn't like massive bull runs or big corrections in bitcoin. The Altcoin market likes a stable sideways moving or very slow increase/decrease in bitcoin. Wild swings and big news like hardforking don't provide a good environment for Altcoins to thrive in.
I'm optimistic that bitcoin will stabilize or at least slow down its growth in september. This should give Altcoins a chance to recover some of its losses vs bitcoin they've had recently. If you are stuck holding Altcoins, now might not be the best time to sell.
