Some numbers:
October 1st: - BTC dominance was 48.8%. - 72.92% of all capital was invested in either BTC, BCC or Eth, meaning 27.08% was in alts. - BTC market cap: $72,332,336,000 - Alt market cap (all coins except BTC, BCC, ETH): $40,138,517,600 - Total crypto marketcap: $148,222,000,000
October 20th: - BTC dominance is 57.78%. - 76.27% of all capital was invested in either BTC, BCC or Eth, meaning 23.73% was in alts. - BTC market cap: $97,195,073,000 - Alt market cap (all coins except BTC, BCC, ETH): $39,972,947,700 - Total crypto market cap: $168,449,000,000
BTC's dominance has increased by 8.98 percentage points. Total market cap has increased with 11.9%. BTC's market cap has increased with 25.58% The altcoin market cap has decreased by $165,569,900. Total altcoin market cap has decreased with 0.4%
Now, I'm ~~borderline retarded~~ not that smart when it comes to numbers, so I might be totally off here, but it seems that not that much money has moved out of the alts? Although this doesn't correct for the month over month growth of the altcoin market cap, or any changes in valuation.

P.S. I for one am still holding out hope for The Rise of the Planet of the Alts (coming to theaters near you this November).
Electrum is only for Bitcoin, you need wallets specific for the coins you buy. ERC20 tokens can be sent to your ethereum address. You can check what markets deal those coins on https://coinmarketcap.com Find the coin and click the markets tab above the graph. Neblio is on Cryptopia if I'm not mistaken, don't know about the rest.
You betcha lol I personally believe QTUM is a better developed platform than NEO. Technology Behind Qtum is simply a proof-of-stake (PoS), smart-contract compatible blockchain that can natively run both Bitcoin-based and Ethereum-based applications. And QTUM is based in Singapore, so Chinese regulations have no effect on it. I totally expect the Asian blockchain, especially Southeast Asia, start-ups will be dominated by Qtum. Most of the start-ups there will eventually be based on Qtum platform. It is worth noting that South East Asia is the world's fastest growing region in terms of economy. Here is a good link to read about Qtum: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@palog/technology-behind-qtum
Nah. not quite. It spiked up after the announcement of the business entity being formally established in France.
Also, here's a summary of why I moved to Ark. Stratis is POS, but good luck with staking in the wallet..
Things can change quickly, but if you look at the options available in the same space as Stratis, there are much better products with far more active development and use cases going on.
Ark, Neblio, and many others are more competitive in the space at the moment. Can't ignore the market cap that Stratis has, but if you take a look at their roadmap for development and compare it to a project like Ark, it becomes easily clear that they can't keep up. I don't know much about Neblio as I'm only invested in Ark in this space (offloaded Stratis at a loss a few months back), but Ark is hammering out development and building on the community constantly. Can't even recall hearing anything about Stratis for months other than something to do with them working with the seafood industry......innovative!
Here's a blog post I wrote a few months ago (when I was still in denial..). I discovered Ark shortly after this and was a no brainer for me https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@cryptomagic/stratis-takes-up-fishing-and-has-created-the-first-blockchain-fishing-rod
Few thoughts, if you will:
CryptoNews - There are many versions of this idea floating around, so unless there's some kind of a unique differentiator, I don't know how you will achieve scaling. Currently, I use this one.
CryptoSignalTx - Very interesting, conceptually. However, from past experience with automated bots (mostly based on Telegram), there will be a large number of false positives that make the concept fallible. As mentioned by /u/TheCryptoNerd a filter of sorts will help make this workable, but I daresay it will require significant research and coding, hence bringing up timeline considerations.
CryptoAnalyze - This is my favorite idea in this list, but I would be VERY wary about linking my Bittrex account with a third-party app. However, if it works like Blockfolio, but with the added ability to set alerts based on my strategies, that would be extremely helpful.
