A few hours ago, I thought that I spotted a couple of significant transactions at Huobi that occurred below the highest bid at the time. Either that, or robots re-populated the spread after a dump with several bids, so quickly that the current price and highest bid did not change on the chart. This glitch now makes me wonder...

If your watching bitcoinwisdom rather than actual order books this happens all the time. Its just the bids filling in after a trade is executed which could be 15 secs ago real time.

Litecoin seems to be firmly uncoupled from bitcoin now (if that's not an oxymoron). Doge also falling. Dark days ahead for both?

Do you not remember way way way way way way back 6 months ago, back when it was the year 2013, long long ago, when LTC was .007 btc? 1/3 of what it is now?

Probably not, that was a long time ago.

Sorry, not sure I follow your point. It's been uncoupled before and survived/caught up just fine, so the same could happen again?
Another fair point, though the landscape is VERY different now.

Darkcoin will never get the mainstream adoption of BTC/LTC

this is all about new coin vitality that you are enjoying now ...if and when it comes on teh radar of any government/political/banking sector it will be firmly stomped on teh head

Enjoy your kiddie fanatsy of smoking cigarettes down the back of the bus Darkcoin coolness... i.e creating a coin that by design is made to launder money & buy drugs is really going to go down well with society & the infrastructural systems that you will need to connect with

Also welcome to teh world of anybody who has/uses DRK are now targets for law enforcement types

DARKCOINS future look really bright to me ...lolz

Never owned a single DRK, never plan to. It was an example - an apt one, given that it currently has #3 market cap.

Agreed, DRK is just another regular hype.

What makes a coin succeed is the infrastructure surrounding it.
Even though privacy may be a factor, no one actually uses darkcoin, or will use it.
Merchants aren't going to accept darkcoin. Litecoin on the other hand, though it may not be technologically different from bitcoin, has a huge
network and infrastructure compared to the other alts.

LTC will be still number 2 when Darkcoin is rotting in the altcoin graveyard where all the other so-called LTC successors are rotting now, Auroracoin, etc.

I predict that LTC, together with the older, more establshed alts, will see a huge price surge in this bubble, BTC-ratio wise.
The older, the more established a coin, the better. Network and infrastructure are the key words here imho.

I agree. Although I also think any coin that can be traded for fiat directly will have a way to survive outside of Bitcoin. NXT for example will have this soon.

I'm happy to stand corrected on this one. (I know, standard procedure is to disappear for a while when a good point is made, sorry.)
Very pleased about NXT getting a fiat exchange soon. I'm more invested there, in both senses, than anything else. I recently sold what few LTC I had for NXT for that reason.

NXT, more than any other coin and ecosystem has already decoupled from Bitcoin.

NXT price is hindered by the lack of exposure - the inability to implement its code into large exchanges like Mintpay due to the fact that its not a bitcoin clone. This has caused the dissemination of coins to be slowed down and a price "cap" to be forced on the coin for a long time now.

However, it has no less than 100 different development projects in the works, more than any other coin besides BTC.

NXT is a long term play, imo. It might be at around the same price it is today (in BTC terms) 6 months from now. But when it "pops" it has the potential to pop big and have that pop be sustained.

Its definitely the lead dog in the 2.0 world. For now at least.

This is pretty much how I see it. But it's worth noting that it is being badly held back and it's already #5. A lot of good devs, great community, a lot of promise. And not exactly a competitor to bitcoin, either, which could help a lot.
Fiat exchange should improve exposure. Multigateway too.
