"Problems in Japan by printing more bank notes".
This was one of the first news I read today in internet and I believe the same thing is happening to Japan as it did it with china a few weeks ago , where as a result of getting in control of a major portion of bitcoin market and the weakness of their currency in the past a few weeks, could effect bitcoin.
On the other hand the bitcoin value is raising slowly and at the same time the difficulty to mining it too. So the buyers are going for other crptocurrencies.
Generally speaking with what I have observed in the past a few weeks, dash, ethe and lightcoin are the most solicited ones.
It is obvious that the investors form of thinking is changing and it is evident that they are taking a risk in converting a small part of their bitcoin savings to other coins to have more to say.
There are other types of coins such as pivx and ripple that I believe if the developers resolve the problems such as their wallets, they also could play an important part too.
What is happening actually, is that we are helping, to grow an existing cryptocurrency market by giving it more positive values and new possibility and the terrific part is that anyone from any part of the world can participate.
