But it's understandable why PIVX is the biggest winner of these pumps; it's not just a simple Dash fork, it did/does a whole lot of things completely differently.

Help me understand your thinking. Please enumerate for me those very important different features?

Thanks.

No different, it is the simple fork, don't think it has many features, it has the features which dash has. The pump is caused by Dash's huge pump and hype.

Thanks.

So basically it was that plus some BS that wasn't true like the other user was writing.

Typical FOMO mania driven.

Of course I saw PIVX rising and I thought that people were going to keep buying it because of the Dash connection. Speculators are copycats. If they hear the word "Bye" then they "Buy". That pretty much sums up how logical it is.

Then I saw @generalizethis making the argument that you can take revenge on Dash by buying PIVX. I figured that would send it over $1.

@thejaytiesto the problem is that you and I aren't speculators. We are investors. These guys aren't investing, they are speculating.

I don't want to invest in Monero, because I didn't like the community and I think anonymity only coins are dumb. I didn't invest in PIVX because Dash is the stupidest design ever. I don't want to invest in Byteball, because even though I like the stability point algorithm as a clever innovation, there are other aspects of the coin which make it unlikely to scale up.

Speculators don't think that way. They see the positives only. I see the negatives only. If I was an expert speculator I would study charts and think about all the dumb people who are going to buy something. That is how you make money speculating. Learn to think like they do.

Because I am a programmer. And I expect more.

So I stay on the sidelines of all the shitcoins. But for speculators, they aren't shitcoins and have enough WoW and suitable WooF. If it barks like a FOMO and climbs like a FOMO then it must be a Tulip.
