I think you are drawing a conclusion from a false assumption. I suggest rechecking your data.
Where am i wrong? i found a some of currency's with peak value of capitalization near dec13-jan14 and then there all comes down. Such as LTC in dec13. So where am i wrong? PeerCoin, DogeCoin, NameCoin and etc.
ok, i was wrong about darkcoin, it's true.
