Dominance in the world of cryptocurrencies.

Dominance in simple word we can say that one thing or person has power or influence over other, as we have seen in crypto market Bitcoin(BTC) have dominance than altcoins because of many reasons, one of them are Bitcoin is very first cryptocurrency others have followed concepts of Bitcoin and added some additional things.

Other projects like Ethereum(ETH), Binance(BNB), and Ripple(XRP) are coming after Bitcoin, they have strong projects and getting a higher market cap on a daily basis.

Binance(BNB) has taken over the market in just a few months, they are just making things simple and take fewer transaction fees do we have seen rapid changes in the price of the Binance(BNB) token.
