Lol anybody can become a whale with most alts and buy out the orderbook with just a few grand.  Price eventually crashes as early miners cashout and move on to the next coin.

altcoins have no serious market cap. it's easy to realize such gains if you have a few spare bitcoins to work with. but don't compare them with btc.

Haha so funny to read this ignorance. Market cap of bitcoin is an illusion anyway.
Many altcoins are being used as money more than bitcoin. Bitcoin is just 90% speculation. There is no real value.
Even worse. 90% of all the funny internet bitcoins are owned by about 5 people. If that is the future of money we have not done well.
Altcoins are the real revolution, offering rigid, fair and scalable systems.

if this is a troll attempt, it's not funny enough

altcoin can be controlled 100% by any random users that decide to invest few penny in it, how this is better than bitcoin?

their network security is a one hell of a joke, not minimally comparable with bitcoin, and again any random dude can breach it, with 1 asic or small gpu rig

basically 99,99 are a P&D scheme, maybe i should say all of them, with some of them, be a tool for infecting others poor innocent machines

add to all this the fact that besides monero, they don't offer nothing new compared to bitcoin, just pure clone, and you can see clearly the whole point of those alt...

this once again shows that you are only trying to make bitcoin look bad. if you like altcoins then go spam the altcoin section with your nonsense.

This guy gets it

Why, only today I bought a bi curious cockatoo, villa in Grozny, incontinence girdle and paid my taxes with a combination of Wankcoin, Nyancoin, Coinye West, Paycoin, Fuckcoin, Rapecoin, Leocoin and BBQcoin (the tax office lurved the idea of a 'tasty crypto' so much they knocked 30% off the bill. Amazing.

Most alts have crashed further and harder than bitcoin during this bear phase, however as noted in OP it is interesting to see signs of them turning bullish in last month or so. Particularly ones which emphasise better anonymity.
I take it as another sign that bitcoin bear phase is coming to an end. I think in the next bitcoin bull phase many crytos will see bigger percentage gains than bitcoin.

If they are also holding their value how come vert coin has crashed over 30% in the last 24 hours. I remember the first vert coin pump in early 2014 when it reached $7.50. A few months ago it had crashed to half a cent. How do we know history won't repeat itself?

you have to say every week! or every day

while bitcoin price is stable at 220-230 there are many altcoins that are being pumped everyday and give some people 2x, 3x, 10x profits.

~~~
Many altcoins are being used as money more than bitcoin.

Its pretty easy to get some of these altcoins go up or down ike 100 fold ... their value if you pump say 500 to 1500 dollar on them.
Thats also the way the big traders work they put in a stash and start manipulate the price. They often pump the coins up and then sell a much larger amount to get it down alot more, after it reached a certain low enough value they add a buy option just under the price
Ofcourse most are automated by bots so there is no actual person behind the trading most of the time. 

So thats also the main reason because these coins hardly have any trading volume, coins like bitcoin and litecoin are much harder to influence.

You need a very large amount of money to be able to get btc moving long term up- or downwards, i think not many other people have enough mone besides the very rich like branson, winklevoss who would be able to move the market much.
For banks the total amount of value in the whole crypto industry is peanuts/pocket money for them, the trade volumes they have are much bigger.

Gains are fun. They're even better when you can take actual money out.

Marinecoin hit a $7 million dollar market cap a while back. On that amazing day when the marinecoin 'whales' must've felt ten feet tall, $1300 worth was actually traded.

So the major holders of that new paradigm could've extracted at least $100 each from the market before squashing it flat. Coke and hookers ahoy.

Will alts be the future currency of the world?!? NO.
You have to buy bitcoin when you want to be rich while having to do NO WORK whatsoever! Alts have been created by the criminal banksters to pull you away from THE ONE currency that will be used for millenniums!

Just ignorance of the People that bought in during the pump at the mid-end phase. "it Will go back up". Not realizing that all People who bought at 100x less already left ship. Next step is a slow decline by trading bots back to the pre pump levels earlier This year. Everybody forgets, but the pumpers start buying again only to repeat the same damn thing.

There will constantly be more altcoins created - sometimes those will do something useful and stick around, or they'll have community groups and supporters that will put the effort in, but a lot will deflate and be sold to buy bitcoin.
