BTC's market cap is still greater than the other top 5 coins combined. BTC dominance is a misleading metric as shitcoins continue to proliferate like wildfire (CMC now has over 1300 coins contributing to crypto's total market cap, LJL).
A more meaningful measure of BTC's dominance, IMO, is:
[BTC Market Cap] / [sum(Top 20 Market Cap)]
Would be interesting to see how that ratio has fluctuated over time, and where it stands now compared to historically
every dollar put into a new shitcoin is a dollar not put into btc (or eth, or other blue chips) and thus represents more of the crypto kike-casino mentality. not good for the long term outlook of crypto imo.

Most of the shittiest shitcoins (think 300+ on CMC) don't have any actual "dollars" in them. Their market caps are entirely illusory.
For example, Unobtanium (UNO) has a market cap of over $26M, with a 24h volume of $5,000. LJL, a single whale trying to sell off a few thousand bucks of that shitcoin would probably cut the market cap in half.
The way CMC calculates BTC dominance though, all these fraudlies market caps count toward the total crypto market cap. As with all calculations: garbage in, garbage out. Confining the calculation to the top 20 limits the input to coins with actual liquidity (for the most part).

we need to regulate some of these retarded coins out of existence. ETH would be 2 or 3 thousand if it absorbed the market cap of dumbass shit like bitconnect
yep. btc will never reach a million if the "crypto" mindshare is split a hundred different ways. shitcoins need to be discouraged and publicly shamed so we can all get rich.
