2016: Revenge of the Alts

[CrypticTrader]

Btw, it maybe worth taking a good look at BTA

I already am!

[Richard1972x]

Very good charts many thanks.

I think about investing in the coins that haven't have the big increase already like
Litecoin
Peercoin
Monero
Dash
Stellar

Because probably the profit takers will invest in Alts that will gain further potential.

according to that picture, it's the chinese that are pumping all these alts

it is the chinese who are pumping all these coins 

Well we all look unto the Chinese whenever something comes up do we?

On the other note, I do not really think those alts mentioned would rise up from their graves.

If it really is a new altcoin bull market, that's what they'll do. Speaking of Stellar, Ripple's "caught a bid" and is back at #2; its charts looks pretty good in BTC terms.

Also keep an eye on NXT and Bitshares. The latter has a nasty habit of sucking you in via a pump only to head to new lows, but it might have turned around as of now. NXT's chart, on the other hand, shows a more credible bottoming.

The problem is if you're thinking of what alt to buy due to the recent price spike, be careful as those prices may also fall back if profit takers are starting selling their shares.

Altcoins are rallying huge after a big dump last year when bitcoin was rising. I have not seen this situation for a long time when the tide makes almost all the altcoins boat rising.

This chart is really useful. Thanks mate! Is this script or app available somewhere?

That's a wise advise. I fully agree with you.

I guess the chinese are pumping the altcoin market. They are probably waiting for it to consolidate but when it's done they will dump their coins hard.

I'm not jumping is this. I will keep half of the altcoins I have and sell the other part right now.

100% increase with doge, 35% with blackcoin. I would be way too greedy to hope for more profit.

Glad you're finding it useful. I've temporarily appended it to Minkiz' front page https://minkiz.co/. I've added a chart generation datestamp in the interests of clarity. Unfortunately, I haven't yet devised a crufty solution for automating the cross-referencing so right now it has to be hand-guided which is why the schedule is -ish but I'll endeavour to post a midday(-ish) update until things settle down a bit.

If you want to cut out the middleman, grab some exchange trading summary data, cross-reference the listed coins and exchanges against the DOACC metadata and Bob’s your uncle.

Thanks for the positive feedback, I'll see what improvements I can wreak.

Cheers

I do not think 2016 will bring a "revenge of the alts"

Most alts still are clones built solely to pump and dump. Some alts will do well but those will the alts that bring something of value that is unique and not already present in BTC.

[Spoetnik]

all the alts you thought were dead are coming back with a vengeance.

even the ghosts of feathercoin and novacoin will come back.

hide your kids and hide your wife.

Someone gonna get raped up in here ?

Ain't nobody got time for dat !

Diversify your cryptos gentlemen! 

[gjhiggins]

Great info!I shall relay this to the Chinese community.
Do you still keep counting the alts? Some are announced on 8btc only. http://8btc.com/forum-43-1.html

Yes, still counting. Currently up to 2758 (or will be when I update later).

Thanks for the reminder about the 8btc site.  I had a quick check, don't seem to missed have anything pertinent.

I rounded up a handful of CN-local alts listed on https://1szb.com/, it was difficult to discover much about them and there's a regrettable tendency to avoid publishing source code, so I guess they may be destined to languish.

This is craziness.  Now being a frequenter of the speculation section, I have to say:  Did anyone predict this was going to happen? 

And it figures that I sold all my DOGE months ago.  I have a very bad habit of selling too soon.  Ugh.

Fortunately, I still had a few mil doge in an wallet that I finally gave up today. Figure with this huge of a spike, I can buy them all back when they drop back down into the 30's and still retain a decent profit. Then I will wait another 6 months for the next spike.

Sir you are very fortunate.   I'm totally kicking myself for selling all of those coins off. I could easily have quadrupled my coins within the last 3 days. Like I said, it's totally craziness.

Ha, 2720 at the moment. I think you are right about the 1szb-listed coins.

Actually more like sheer luck, I had almost put them out of my mind but when I saw Doge rising I remembered I had a few somewhere and was a bit surprised when I found the wallet and saw I had so many. In this situation it worked out well, as it took the block-chain a bit to sync up and the wait for confirmation time on the exchange probably netted me a few extra 10's of satoshis, as I would have sold them all off at 80-90 if I could have transferred them sooner.

Well, still hoping for a drop back to 30's in the next weeks/months, as I will be able to buy back and not only double the amount of doge I had, but also retain almost half the profit I made in BTC. Love to finally have been a part of a 4x rise in a coin and actually on right right side of the trade, haha.

Now to not lose it all looking for more upcoming pumps, that is the real secret I think.

Yes it's indeed funny bitcoin price is going down and here are those once dump coin coming up I don't know if there was a trend like this before but if this going to be the trend in the future that it's worth to hoard some few coins,for future profit

[jehst]

[jehst]
