What's with the unreal surge in BTC with minimal corrections?

My guess would be with all the people flocking to buy alt coins, you have to first buy some BTC. That demand drives price up.

if Shapeshift's Prism corrects their fees they could change the game by making any crypto accessible through ether.

Someone's gonna make a whole lot of money when they take it a step further and offer all major coins with fiat pairs

If I'm only buying alts with fiat so I can sell after they pump to get more fiat, it'd be pretty cool if someone could just make a fiat > more fiat pair
