There is a difference in price appreciation of alt coins. Even visible on CMC if you watch closely.
The coins that are real, working today, blockchain is cranking through blocks, the chain is being used. Those coins are slowly heading higher.
Coins that are just play toys, but not real or not aligned to long-term goals elaborated in original whitepaper, are slowly losing ground.
There will be a big shake out. Just like dot com boom and bust.
There will be few survivors. ADA will be one of the survivors.
XRP token will survive, but it will be 1/10,000th of current over pumped value.
