Bitcoin's stride to over $12,000 has taken its market dominance to 65.2 percent for the first time since April 2017.

Following its growth in recent days, the bitcoin price reached levels not seen since immediately after the end of its 2017 bull run.

The successes have come at the expense of altcoins, which have so far failed to produce similar performance. As a result, BTC dominance of the overall cryptocurrency market cap is now 65% .

Bitcoin’s market cap now stands at $226 billion out of a total crypto cap of $365 billion.Recording 12.5% daily gains at press time, BTC/USD is outperforming even the next best option in the top ten cryptocurrencies, ethereum (ETH). The latter put in 6.2% returns in the same period, its market cap still spiking above $35 billion for the first time since August.

Bitcoin enthusiasts are happy with the current figures with the Twitter account known as Armin van Bitcoin adding he distrusted CoinMarketCap and that the actual number was closer to 95%.He explained “If a coin is centralized, premined, has low trading volume, isn't listed on more than one exchange or is pegged to (Bitcoin) only trading, it's market cap is meaningless. Most coins fit in that criteria,”

Bitcoin dominance is simply the ratio between Bitcoin’s market capitalization to the global market capitalization of the whole cryptocurrency market.

Essentially, its an expression of how much capitalization Bitcoin has compared to other crypto on the market.
