As the price of BTC is increasing on an upward trend and falls only by few bucks, short-term Alternative Coin traders are crying blood. I believe it is due to the upcoming fork. How many more forks are we expecting in the future? It seems that through forks they are pumping the price of btc and once the price becomes stagnant they will start another fork.
What would be normal was to dump the "old" fork when this is done to get better new technology. What we are seeing with BTC is the creation of forks with nothing new to add besids more volatility and crazyness to this market. People are enjoying all the "free" money, just hope it won´t backlash and really damage BTC.
