It's not a healthy marketplace this way.
Alts need to be traded by fiat and should not be tied to BTC. BTC is just a name with no good function at all.

Have you seen any other market where thousands of commodities are closely tied to one prototype? And in such a stupid way that when BTC rises they MAY have a chance to rise a bit and when BTC falls a bit, they fall 4-5 times worse???

This will change in the coming years. Sooner or later BTC will loose this insane position that only comes from being the first.
