    Bitcoin usually follows the other altcoins fairly well (or vice-versa), but today bitcoin is gaining substantially whilst most of the other are dropping. Seems a bit unusual?

    With the hard fork on the 25th, people are likely converting their alts to BTC so they can claim more free Bitcoin Gold.
