P2P Lounge Room https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-count?timespan=24h -- Bitcoin unconfirmeds here. https://bitcoinfees.info/And this chart -- https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#btc-percentage -- shows you what the ratio is of altcoin cap to Bitcoin cap. Bitcoin price: $2974 (CMC)
Btc Unconfirmeds: 23K
Total altcoin cap: 54%Noo noo noo $ATH cap (CMC) $US 112BAnd -- first time ever -- here is noooz from a source beyond Planet Krypto: ' South Korea and Japan’s extreme premium rates did not dematerialize overnight. It began with the stabilization of the Chinese market and the resumption of withdrawals led by the big three Bitcoin exchanges in China - Huobi, OKCoin and BTCC. As the global market stabilized and the Chinese Bitcoin exchange market recovered, premiums started to decrease. Chinese exchanges, which used to process Bitcoin trades around 25 percent lower than the global average price, began to process trades at a value higher than the global average Bitcoin price. During that time, liquidity in the Japanese and South Korean markets also increased drastically. Some of the largest companies in Japan, including the multi-billion dollar internet conglomerate GMO, opened a Bitcoin exchange to address the rapidly increasing demand for Bitcoin and South Korean exchanges also began to focus on providing higher liquidity toward traders. Ultimately, the recovery of the Chinese market acted as a catalyst for global Bitcoin exchange market stabilization and standardization.' http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-06-11/bitcoin-surges-above-3000-asian-premium-collapses

Big-Picture Thoughts
Yup, okay: things are a mite frenzied. But . . . the macroeconomic background will ultimately just keep shovelin’ capital into cryptos.
The Bitcoin-Aug-1st thing -- the next shouting-match over Bitcoin’s scaling concerns -- is getting quite a few mentions. And there is AlSO scuttlebutt about the number/flimsiness of ETH’s ICOs.
And total crypto cap hit 61% today. That’s dance-in-the-streets crazy, folks. Historic. Shoot, I remember when TOTAL crypto cap was TWO percent. That is, cryptos other than BTC (or ETH) are now unarguably candidates for high volume/price.
Let’s focus on the fact that crypto prices are so much measured against Bitcoin. (That will change – I advocate bullion-GRS pricing/trades.)
The notion of a ‘backstop’ coin keeps coming to me. When things go boom! all those smarties who are presently shouting up the price of . . . everything . . . will need a crypto to scuttle to, but Bitcoin will be less than ever the choice-for-scuttle.
(Note that some will scuttle to fiat, but the scuttling to fiat will become a less attractive option over time.)
GRS is a splendid candidate for ‘backstop function.’

'This cycle’s main bubble is in government bonds and fiat currencies . . . ' http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article59360.htmlHmmm . . . 'fiat currency bubble.' First time I've heard that (and John Rubino is great).
