ETH, LTC, DASH... all on the red. Bitcoin pumping to $1100 levels too. People quickly dump alts when bitcoin wakes up, even in this scenario of controversy due ChinaBU hard fork fears. Maybe it's a good time to pick some cheap alts after the rally is over.

You have to react very quickly because when bitcoin's price jump all alts usually overreact and dump way more for a slow time after quickly going back up at a higher value. |

Pick up cheap alts? What, after they've been inflated past all rational valuations? Nah, I think it would be a great idea to sell and take your profit off the table now (if you made one). I definitely wouldn't be buying right now. Bitcoin maybe, but NOT any altcoins.

The relationship between BTC and alts is not so simple anymore. If BTC rose it guaranteed a knee jerk drop in alts.....all of them. But I was surprised how the last big rose in BTC actually lifted all boats.
Saying that, I sense a minor bloodbath in alts is coming just because many of them have moved too much too quickly. BTC is definitely the safe haven right now. The. Wait for next big opportunity in alts.

About eth, it's most likely a bear trap. Too many important news are coming for the drop to be real. Raiden in a week or so, EEA mid april, okcoin will also most likely add eth very soon, and then there's alphabay's may news.

Buy rumor, sell news, you know the drill. litecoin went temporarily crazy with zero news. the alt rally started with the etf denial and hard fork fud no matter what the individual coins have in the pipeline. |

Yes. I wouldn't buy any alts eventhough they are down right now. It might be just a false signal they are sending. And you don't want to be caught on those traders placing shorts, then don't buy it. Still go for bitcoin instead, at least the market price is holding. BU schism is over, no one is dumping bitcoin, they are now holding it. |

Yeah exactly. It's all a game to collect alts really.  To do what? To save a few cents against btc price revivial? This article says just this and I like the picture of what Altcoinville really looks like.  https://news.bitcoin.com/using-an-altcoin-to-save-a-few-cents-may-not-be-worth-it/ |

There's a difference between the rumor/news that are all about hype and no substance and the real news. Raiden alone, if works as intended, will beat any development made in cryptocurrency in 8 years ( except for ethereum itself). |

How many transactions per second is Raiden promising? |

Yes, most alts should have been dumped already by hodlers, the rise was unsustainable, but some got smaller pumps such as LTC, which only doubled. I sold half of my LTC and made profits, but i'll keep half of it there to hedge against the risk of a potential 51% BU mining support. I think LTC and ETH are decent bets to profit from such an scenario. Pick up cheap alts? What, after they've been inflated past all rational valuations?

BUcoiners are an aggressive pack that will not give up easily, and they have monetary resources to cause damage. BU is still averaging 36% hashing rate, segwit is always behind. It all comes down to Wang from f2pool switching to BU all of a sudden, or Jihan Wu deploying further mining operations to go above 51%. In such an scenario, I predict nothing but a BTC selloff. |

LOL, the herd rushing to alts and back to Bitcoin like clockwork. It all comes down to Wang from f2pool switching to BU all of a sudden, or Jihan Wu deploying further mining operations to go above 51%. In such an scenario, I predict nothing but a BTC selloff.
I predict BTC price to go up significantly when the artificial 1MB block limit is removed. |

There's potential for sure. Technology development not just roadmap noise and the usual likes. Next candidate of a different cathegory will be LTC since it has history and growing potential. The tide moves between Altcoins bassin and Bitcoin ocean are best to be sailed with patience. I wish Ernest Hemingway would have been an Altcoin trader, writing a book about this. |

i'm sure it's great. but nothing changed in ltc, xrp, or anything else let alone all this bitcoin plus crap. ethereum'll no doubt get bigger but for now it was part of the same pump. |

exactly the unlogical reasoning that makes this market so jumpy and paranoid. the case that all altcoins magicly disapear over night is as insane as to think the huge bitcoin network with billions worth will disapear. many altcoins are funded in millions they work hard every day to make their coin better , u think they care if the price goes up or down for a week? besides what kind of thinking is that anyway? support the projects you like and see goodness in, dont jump on the things that are trendy or solid. btc was a small project too once, if no one helped it grow big or abondoned it when the first flaw comes up it would have died much earlier. theyre not inflated btw, bitcoin 1000 § while solid coins are in the micro cents? pff .. |

I think the rise of the bitcoin will divert funds away from altcoins. So the altcoin will drop in the short term. |

Absolutely normal, that after a period of strong rises comes a time of corrections and stagnation. The stagnation of ETH at the moment is on a very high level. DASH deeper - yes - but tripled his value since february. LTC still +50% in three days.
If this has been the pop of the altcoin bubble, I will be double glad that I invested not in BTC. But if someone shits in his pants because of a day of sinking prices, he would be not the right man for the altcoin market. Yes. And BTC? Will him scare immediately to death...
