STEEM and now pal are the only alt-coins I have. I don't have a good idea about what makes the coins move, but I think they have to have a use outside of speculation. People have to be able to spend them to see a reason to get in.

I also believe they will rise when some type of news makes a lot of them rise at the same time. Few people hold these coins now. When the mainstream jumps in, we might have a good run.
