You know what......I was looking at some of the historical charts, and noticed a strange recurring phenomena.
Many of these coins, including ETH, and especially those that are constantly pushing the price limits these days, all seemed to have experienced a sudden burst in trading volume and price increases at around the same time, around mid-March 2017.

After thinking it over, the only reason I can think of is that the bitcoin price increase from 2016 has finally piqued the interest of the general population, with many people starting to invest in it, and then the rejection of the bitcoin ETF created a bit of a sell down where people started moving their money away from BTC and into the various altcoins.
Any other thoughts?
Or did something else happen in mid March that I wasn't aware of?
*
Ive also noticed strange phenomena. Or is it?

Bitstamp BTC price trading at $1177~80
Bitfinex at $1200~05

Perhaps related to Wells fargo froze Bitfinex USD & USDT wire transfers to account holders.

Yeah, XRP trading sideways for now. DCR wants to go up but usually get sold down. Must be traders making money on shorts.

Damn I'm out of bitcoins. Wanna buy in some more on Stratis. Already given me 500% gain from my first purchase!  smile.gif

Look at EMC2, neoscoins and Lbry this morning...... practically any altcoins will get pumped at any one time but the general trend is still up! rclxub.gif

I have a fear that one day, all altcoins will get hit badly..... hope that day never comes.....  blush.gif

Yeah, seems like a lot of news on stratis.

I have been observing stratis since morning and it seems somebody is quietly and slowly buying up everything. Walls are easily punched through with some occasions to let it drop slightly before the buying resumes. Not the usual pumping. Past 2 days already risen up 100%!

Luckily I bought in a bit this morning. Had to use my Dash money. dry.gif

XEM? I crossed that out of my list but now I'm starting to buy those in my crossed out list. Just a bit. Even my fun coin pinkcoin is giving me almost 100% gain now. sweat.gif Recently bought potcoin because I think I'm high..... biggrin.gif

On other news, Trezor now support Litecoin in trezor wallet! rclxms.gif Going to try it once I get all my litecoin back from loan. https://twitter.com/BitcoinTrezor/status/850337221714595840

If you want to use @Litecoin in #TREZOR Wallet, just go to App Settings and set Bitcore Server URL to https://insight.litecore.io/

Haha, still a good gain. I checked out ARK, quite of a lot of activities but I will concentrate on those coins in Polo. smile.gif

Update : Ok, litecoin works on Trezor wallet. The only thing is have to paste in the URL each time wanna access litecoin's wallet.

Going to call it a day today......damn tired looking at the screen the whole afternoon.
Cashed out part of my profits in LTC to fund my purchases in some other alts. biggrin.gif
I see an overall upwards trend in alts, so I think I'll just hang on to them for a while and see how it goes.

Haha, our lives are ruin thanks to cryptocurrencies.

Unbelievable huh? You just have to close your eye and buy 10 altcoins, sure a few will go up.

I can't believe my fun coin pinkcoin is already up 340% at current price. Might as well throw my SC away...... rclxub.gif

Recently, I just buy a bit of coins even though I initially already crossed out of my list . EMC2, Digibyte, voxel, Pot and game. No reasons, no fundamentals, no nothing. Just can't stand seeing the uptrend without being part of it. sweat.gif rclxub.gif confused.gif

Yes......unbelievably ridiculous, but true.
Just close your eyes and buy a bit of each altcoin on Poloniex......I think you'll probably still win on average due to the ridiculous triple digit gains.
Not really sure how long this phenomena will continue though. unsure.gif

Yeah, crazy! Pinkcoin went up to 1460 last night! Now back to 600+ which gives me almost 600% gain. I only bought USD 100 of pinkcoin and not going to sell. Wished I don't need sleep, could have done some trade last night...... bye.gif

Imagine I have I think 40 types of coins and only pinkcoin is in the top 10..... rclxub.gif

True true. I dread the day altcoins get a bloodbath. In the meantime, just enjoy the ride. smile.gif

Thx for the link. Polo doesn't have that coin. Incidently, I checked out bittrex a few days ago and I was surprised that they have so many altcoins. Practically hundreds! I'm sure they carry XVG. The problem is, I was drowned in a sea of altcoins at bittrex. Basically any name under the sun can be found there.

Still contemplating whether I want to channel some funds to Bittrex. Now so comfortable in Polo.

The problem is that I am undecided whether to keep the coins long term in the hopes of future appreciation, or just trade them short term and cash in the immediate profits, since it is pretty easy to get 10 - 20% profits with the current volatility.
Yeah I agree, I am pretty comfortable using Poloniex now.
Bittrex has so many more coins, but also due to that, the liquidity for each coin is lower when compared with Poloniex (or at least that was what I observed).

As you mentioned, 10-20% is pretty easy. Why not aim higher? I think trading short term definitely has its merits, which I'm starting to do for some of my coins. However, as I don't want to miss the boat, I just trade a bit of my holdings as it shoot high, Then buy back if it goes lower.

I can try to keep adding to the first post, just tell me when your guidelines are done! smile.gif

The reason for 10 - 20% is because it is very easy, and from the past few weeks' observation, you can easily trade 5 times x 20% profit to get a total of 100% profit in a short period of time (maybe 1 - 2 weeks) instead of waiting for it to shoot to 100% which is more difficult and may take a much longer time to happen (if it happens).
But on the other hand, many of my coins have been going up steadily and in an upward trend so I am also reluctant to sell. sad.gif
So many coins to choose......so little money to buy them with...... cry.gif

One more thing is that I am actually starting to get a bit concerned with the amount of money I am leaving in Poloniex.
Since I don't have too much in any one coin (except for BTC and ETH), I am currently just leaving them on the exchange......but I am terrified of what would happen if Poloniex suddenly shuts down one fine day, or hacked, or my holdings stolen by the Poloniex administrators, or something drastic like that.
There aren't any hardware wallets that support most of the altcoins, either. sad.gif
