Look at
http://coinmarketcap.com/Lots of money pouring into alts due to this ridiculous blocksize debate.
Needs to get fixed soon.
your reasoning is a bit off.
i am not saying blocksize debate had 0 effect. but i am saying it is not the main reason.
these pumps and 100%-200%-500% increases is nothing new in altcoin market. it has always been like this.
in coinmarketcap.com just click on the charts and set the time-frame to all (more than a year) you will see that the #pump pattern keeps happening every now and then in each coin.
Yep, I really don't think very many people are actually freaked out by the block debate. Maybe a few noobies who have only been in bitcoin for a few months, but nobody with perpective should care. I've been holding and watching the charts nearly even days since summer '13. I'm not worried in the slightest. Trade volume is a bit lower than I like but it's been that way since the drop from 1k, nothing new. This is 2016, been waiting for this year since I bought my first coin. Popcorn is popping...
