Purge of millions of crypto tokens underway, BTC needs it for sustainable bull cycle: Ben Cowen
Bitcoin's dominance exceeds 60% as millions of speculative altcoins face elimination, says analyst Ben Cowen. This purge is essential for a sustainable bull market, with capital rotating into BTC while weaker projects collapse. Despite BTC touching $81,000, analysts warn of potential pullback toward $58,000–$62,000 if key resistance fails. Bitcoin dominance could reach 70% by 2030.
