Today, Bitcoin achieved a major milestone—its market capitalization share surpassed 60%. In other words, for every 10 dollars in the digital asset market, over 6 dollars flow into Bitcoin.



The community immediately erupted. Some shouted "It's the end, a siphoning rally," while others lamented "The spring for other coins is over." Looking at these panic voices, I’m actually not worried and even want to celebrate.

Why? Because this is not siphoning at all; it’s the market growing up.

Imagine the transition from adolescence to adulthood—less restlessness, more stability. The digital asset market is undergoing the same transformation.

**Looking at this from a different perspective**

Suppose 90% of the funds in the ecosystem chase after various novel assets, and only 10% are willing to focus on Bitcoin—does that make sense? Obviously not. Capital flowing into Bitcoin is not the market "sucking blood," but the entire system "selectively nourishing" the best.

With macro environments so uncertain, capital gathering into Bitcoin is actually very rational:

- Deep liquidity
- Strong consensus
- Clear regulatory path
- The gateway for institutions

This is not a signal of doomsday; it’s proof that the market is moving from a frenzy to rationality.

**Key Differences**

Adolescence: Easily influenced, chasing trends,炒什么热炒什么

Adulthood: Stable, focused on value, emphasizing fundamentals

The old approach of "bull markets mean frantic speculation on other coins" may need to be updated. The new phase requires new strategies—this is both an opportunity and a challenge.

Alright, finally someone said it. All those people crying and making a fuss are actually just not buying the dip.

nah tbh the maturation thesis is solid here. think about the game-theoretic incentives—when macro uncertainty spikes, rational actors consolidate around the highest conviction asset. that's just efficient capital allocation, not some bloodbath scenario people are fear-mongering about.

A 60% share is indeed impressive, but to be honest, isn't this just an inevitable result after institutional investors entered the market? Retail investors are still messing around with altcoins.

Hey, wait a minute, there's a bit of a problem with this logic. The nice way to put it is that it's selective watering; the less nice way is that the big pie is bleeding us dry.

60% share, other coins are really a bit tough this time... But on the other hand, saying that Bitcoin "bloodsucking" is really unfair, it's just that the money has found the safest place. Wait, the idea that institutions are knocking on the door to enter... then retail investors like us should learn from it. Sigh, I still believe in Bitcoin, and once the hype passes, other coins will naturally have opportunities. Is this really a bear market signal? Feeling a bit anxious. Actually, a high Bitcoin dominance isn't entirely a bad thing, it indicates that consensus is really strengthening. Is anyone still lurking in small coins? I want to place a bet.

60% share? Bro, this isn't siphoning, it's just the big waves sorting out the sand. The crypto circle is finally starting to look a bit normal.

60% is really not much, I'm waiting to see 70%

Well said. When the market matures, it's time to stay calm. However, I still believe that some altcoins might still have opportunities ahead.
