If you watch
http://coinmarketcap.com/ you will notice:
(1) A lot of alt-coins will come from nowhere and jump to the top 25, only to eventually fall out of the top 25.
Here are some that have come and gone in the past 10 days (these coins all used to be worth more than iXcoin):
25 Cryptogenic Bullion $ 1,101,774 $ 1.18 932,461 CGB $ 16,665 -12.21 %
26 GoldCoin $ 1,072,040 $ 0.037 29,242,265 GLD $ 7,408 -4.77 %
28 Sexcoin $ 917,377 $ 0.017 52,493,825 SXC $ 11,418 +20.48 %
34 StableCoin $ 684,177 $ 0.073 9,326,955 SBC $ 2,785 -3.68 %
36 FlorinCoin $ 603,070 $ 0.016 38,059,900 FLO $ 7,583 -10.50 %
41 LottoCoin $ 411,857 $ 0.00012 3,515,536,833 LOT $ 48,691 -15.28 %
The following coins I also expect to fall much further due to high inflation:
6 Nxt $ 43,408,595 $ 0.043 999,997,986 NXT* $ 115,185 +3.47 %
14 DogeCoin $ 7,924,274 $ 0.00032 24,920,056,265 DOGE $ 421,962 +39.73 %
15 Infinitecoin $ 6,616,294 $ 7.4e-05 89,572,983,309 IFC $ 18,149 -8.88 %
16 Zetacoin $ 3,668,544 $ 0.023 159,590,953 ZET $ 4,449 -3.00 %
17 NetCoin $ 3,398,657 $ 0.017 198,798,074 NET $ 25,133 -14.07 %
20 Tickets $ 2,836,103 $ 4.2e-05 66,876,281,414 TIX $ 4,564 -1.18 %
23 EarthCoin $ 1,335,823 $ 0.002 681,317,689 EAC $ 22,548 +40.97 %
Which is obvious... just look how many coins were all created in just a few months time.
In fact, some of these coins are just one month old (i.e. DOGE, NXT, EAC, NetCoin) !
Talks about absolutely ridiculous!
Folks, its all "supply and demand", no amount of hype is going to hide this fundamental truth.
