Looks like OP was right. Bitcoin is going up and all alts have been on the red, except 3 big winners:
Bitcoin Plus
Bitcoin Dark
Bitstar
People holding coins got rich last night from those, and they are still looking healthy for the uptrend.
Who they are? its the first time that i read it
just open coinmarketcap.com or any other altcoin exchange there is and sort their lists based on 24 hour change and you will see which coin was the "pump of the day" that day.
and these 3 has been pumped recently. there is no need for you and I to have even heard their names, the pumpers start pumping these coins without any reason. it is all the money they have been earning in the past weeks from big coins that they are now investing in random smaller coins to pump them and increase the profit.
Precisely my thoughts. Coins like these appear out of nowhere and don't particularly need legitimacy (I say this also holding a silly sum of an extremely silly alt that has no reason to live and rise in price other than because someone(s) involved in pumping it). Whatever it is, don't be naive and think you can get into the "game" unscathed. Focus on what's at play for the long term.
