Almost all Altcoins gained *against BTC* today --- especially QTUM (one of Singapore based crypto project), LISK, and BCH (which I had sold off 50% and exchanged for Omisego (OMG).
Perhaps, the start of investors diversification of their coins, after the initial buy-in via "BTC" from Fiat, before/during the early recovery?
And perhaps it is indeed a good choice to go for (selected - base on careful/thorough research) altcoins when buying-in during a crash? -- I.e. lower MCAP coins saw greater %loss would likely see similarly high %gains when the market rebounds? — provided that the project behind it is sound, that is. Finger crossed that this trend will continue.
Well all I can say is that I am really not surprised, in fact, I'd be damn shocked if this didn't happen. This is simply because of the increasing people who profit a lot on investing in different altcoins out there that are obviously altcoins which have real great concepts together with great hard working developers behind them. Of course this trend will sure attract more people that want bigger profits in small periods of time which then increases traffic in the altcoin industry. And judging by how early it is still, I can already see the numbers increasing more in the future.
