In layman’s terms, whenever cryptos are called out, Bitcoin is the first and foremost asset to be considered. As it is the primitive crypto and the user base is expanding every single day.
It has proved that it is resistant to any crash. It hardly took 6 months to recover each time it crashed below the records. Most recently, it dipped below $4000 in March 2020 and within 6 months, it touched $12000 in September 2020.

However, bitcoin bulls and proponents have predicted a major breakout for the digital asset in 2021. Many of them have said Bitcoin might shoot up to $100K also.
