The whole landscape for alts is changing.  There will be no big pumps of any new launched coins.  Hell, even BTC doesn't seem to get much pump from good news.  To me, people are thinking rationally about the true value of crypto, I think Bitcoin is a bit undervalued but pretty close to what it should be.  I think Nxt has the most/best features, but not enough people are utilizing it, so it's value is low.  Ethereum will be the most disappointing launch of 2015.  I think Alts will continue to fail in 2015, people will just be trying to time their sell orders. I like NEM and think the development team is great, but people aren't excited about POI, just like they aren't excited about POS at this point. By mid 2016, BTC will remain the clear winner and everyone will be looking to develop features for BTC as a way to profit, rather than launching Alts.
