BTS seems to relate a lot more to CNY than USD, BTC or anything else.

All the alt coins seem to be traded by the same people.  The same amount of money is sloshing back and forth between the top 10 alts.  Bitcoin has the lowest barrier to entry, so it makes sense that its market cap is rising before bts.  I think this is a good thing because soon these new bitcoin holders will discover bts and hopefully move some of the capital to it.

The rises and falls over the last few months have little to do with fundamentals... its hot money and momentum chasers moving the markets.

We all know that the market can be extremely volatile, but damn...the price of BTC is skyrocketing right now....$275....it's been a while since it was worth that much. Dash has moved ahead in the races (again), and Peercoin and NXT are not far behind...speculation as to why, anybody? (I figure the BTC definitely has to do with Greece).
