Ethereum increased the gas limit / block size limit, and it was said that there are quite some "low hanging fruits" for reducing the uncle rate (considered to be too high at the moment, and likely to increase as the blocks grow) ... those good news may be relevant for explaining the ETH price jump.
At the other hand, WTF is going on with Litecoin?
I thought that since Coinbase is how most people get in and because there are only 3 cryptos - BTC, ETH and LTC. Then it makes sense that more people use LTC for transfers, since BTC has crazy fees and ETH is slow.
Happy I got LTC few weeks ago when it was low and now it has doubled. Crazy, exciting times.

ETH is the fastest, isn't it? Except, when the network is congested because of cryptokittens ;-) Crazy.
I'm looking forward to Coinbase adding BCH to their portfolio.
Cryptokittens - love these times! :D
