What influences the price of cryptocurrencies in market? Are market supply, investor sentiment, government rules, and new technologies key in shaping their price changes?

To hold my money for a longer time, i invested in VIG, QQQ, XMHQ and others. Dividend-focused ETFs (SCHD, VYM) and their returns seem lower than any other ETFs and because of that, mostly people are interested in them. Are dividend-focused ETFs genuinely more valuable than growth-focused ones? Am i lacking something? I am well aware of the fact that this is one of the most popular ETFs available in the American market.
