I understand why Bitcoin is on top, Litecoin trails Bitcoin everywhere like a happy puppy, Ripple is wierd but lots of people have good intelligent arguments why it should be listed the way it is. Dogecoin has meme power. But how does Peercoin keep that value/market cap? It is used anywhere? It isn't in the media or anything, at least in the same way Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin are. Peercoin's Reddit is dead compared to Dogecoin. I'm not trying to be a hater, I really want to know what people think.
Some coins have technical merit and some coins are purely 'pump and dump'. Those coins you don't understand - probably the ones with technical merit. Those coins you like with memes - probably 'pump and dump'. Carry on.
