Not every altcoin is going down. Its good to hold your coins because there are huge chances that altcoins will go high this year. Coins like doge and ripple are doing good this year.
Indeed lots of coins are going to skyrocket this year since a new ideology has been spread out and is apparently getting a lot of attention from the crypto community even if it implies less decentralization than the previous one .
Improvements to fight against exorbitant inflation rates have been thought about especially the XRP team who are now sending out the supply monthly after being held in escrow in order to have a rather stable value of their coins and avoid the roller coaster of rates ,especially with such a huge supply (100,000,000,000 XRP) .
A lot of money today goes to Bcash and Ethereum. I suppose a big correction is coming soon.
Transactions volume of Eth for today only were $9 622 280 000 USD , to increase the value to $1363,42 per coin which is a really unprecedented event for Eth . A correction is certainly on the way but whoever believed in Eth has certainly made huge money by now .
