BTC always crashes, no reason why it won't go down to sub 200.
Xcoins are the new scrypt. Far too many, and the obsession with secrecy and PoS is not a selling point.
Nobody wants either apart from fantasists and the deluded.
So that leaves ... maybe DRK the sole survivor in terms of at least being traded (before it becomes XPM, Feathercoin, et al)
So back to business as normal; BTC, LTC, BTC, LTC, BTC, LTC.
Like the old days (of 8 months ago)
Well if you call a pump the 10 percent litecoin has rise , it looks like more like a rebound or a bull trap than a pump.
