Thats because Litecoin and Dogue's sugar-daddies turned up.
It's not just litecoin, it's bitshares (I still don't get them, and if price volatility were supposed to stop with Bitshares, I don't see it??) Doge (I can almost understand, at least they have/had an enthusiastic following) and Stellar.
None of these have a solid decentralized network. How DASH could fair so badly against them is incomprehensible to me. All of them being pumped at the same time too. I'm so glad our developers and all of you don't get frustrated and keep your sense of humor against this insanity because I kind of get irritated at the nonsensical logic going on. I know it's just a pump and dump game, and I see it with stocks and precious metals as well. But since I've never taken an interest in finance until a year and a half ago, I still get frustrated, LOL.
So actually, if any of you - or if you could explain, toknormal, I'd sure appreciate a lesson. What's their game? Do they really entice enough people to join in on the buying, that they make money off of these pumps? Or do they just play against each other? I have a feeling that this is why I never got interested in finance, it simply never made sense. My mom would try to get me interested in the stock market, and I'd ask, how do they know how much a business is worth? And in the end, I learned nobody really knows, and you never really get to see actual accounting books, and it's always based on future performance, where the potential is factored into the price today. Just like here, only here I can at least see/feel it
AH! I just realized my problem. That stupid coin market cap is like a score board, and our team is slipping in the ranks, and it's killing the cheerleader in me! I want to jump into the game and bash some heads together! LOL, that's it! I've been so busy, I'm not here often enough, I come on, see the price down, our ranks slipping, and feel like my team is falling. I really have to get a grip. We're in a marathon, I must learn patience, LOL.
