Would you say its more than even say 50 max?  There are over 2k cryptos.  Most are worth nothing.  But how many are actually worth something?

50's a lot.

Around 5-10 altcoins will do. I have that number and not so much with those because I have invested mostly my money with bitcoin and ethereum. And the other altcoins aren't so popular but it's not heavily invested, it's like an alt that I just wanted to have and hopes something good but I'm okay if nothing goes well with those alts too.

Just like me, prioritizing always invests in bitcoin and ethereum. It sounds simple, but that's my way to minimize risk, rather than having to invest in alt that is uncertain and not feasible.

Some coins are of the blockchain platform, some coins are of real products. I think there are about 100 projects have the real value coins.

if by "worth something" you are not talking about price and profit then the number of coins that are actually "worth something" is about a handful, 10 coins tops based on what i have seen. majority of altcoins are mere copycats where the creator has simply forked another coin sometimes with no change and sometimes with trivial changes. and the remaining little that have unique ideas are very limited in numbers and those that implement that unique idea in a good way are even less in numbers leaving us with a handful of them.

Majority of existing coins are just duplicate of existing coins and some of this just pump and dump coin I think only 200 coins or roughly 10% have actual value and usage, but many new coins are coming in because some coins that used to have value suddenly people are dumping for another one with same features.

very little, so many coins that have been registered with marketcp now only become a worthless coin (shitcoin) even the coinmarrketcap has deleted some of the altcoins from the list

the number of altcoins at the moment and those that have something in value, I don't think there are more than 20 altcoins, even though many altcoins currently touch 2k, they are all the same projects but the names and owners are different.

There's a lot of cryptocurrency and almost everyday new cryptocurrencies are being created but only few have worth, I don't know every cryptocurrency so I will not give any numbers on how many coins really worth something but for me only coins that has its own unique uses and can solve any real world problems has a worth. We have thousands but majority are just a copy from existing cryptocurrencies, huge example of these are those Bitcoin fork coins, while some are just useless that are only created to scam investors.

based on the history of your topics i am guessing you are looking to make profit from trading altcoins in which case every single coin out of 2000+ altcoins are worth something but only for a certain amount of time.

the trick is finding that perfect timing for entry and also exiting that coin instead of looking for "worth" of a coin to invest in it. because history has proven that altcoins with a great design and a high value never give you a good profit because the shitcoins always get pumped more and take the high ranks in coinmarketcap.com.

Some of them are having a working product but they are still can't get a lot of attention from speculators. I guess it's no more than 200 crypto. Some coins in this list can be categorized as zombie coin too.
But a lot of them are still trying to find the solution to not pegged with payment gateway companies just like VISA.

They may not seem to work for the moment, it's very natural. But many of these projects are actually close to achieving something. From the outside, it may seem like a lot, but remember, most of these projects work in different areas, almost none of them meet the other. This is the case in real life. There are hundreds of thousands of brands in the shoe industry, and many of them work just fine.

We have more than 2k altcoins right now and obviously, more than 50 of 2000++ are worth for something.
like QSP for example, it is worth because of its usability securing the smart contract.
Stellar, for its blockchain system. This blockchain is the fastest blockchain that we ever have until now if people are using cryptocurrency as their form of payment. Stellar is the way to do that because it can do 1000 transaction per second while other cryptocurrencies only can do at most 20 transactions per second.

There are no definite numbers that can mention the quality of the price of an altcoin. But my calculations in private may only have 1 percent Altcoin that has the quality to last for a long time. Most only a shitcoin is lost quickly and ultimately has no value. We cannot avoid this because indeed if an altcoin wants to survive the coin must have a full support from the developers. Without strong support from the team, the altcoin will disappear so quickly.

Exactly. Almost all crypto assets do not have a fundamental basis. These are digital assets. The same bitcoin is provided by the desire of miners to sell more expensive than the cost of mining. Currently, all these are speculative tools. In general, a trader can earn; a investor still is not clear.

Well if you're talking about altcoins most of them are worth something based on their used for example a token that can be used as a credit to their application or to their project (Utility coin) and some coins to create masternode, etc. every altcoins has its used but if you're referring to ICOs... If there are 1000 ICOs in this industry only 10 and below are worth something according to my own experience as an investor.

Most of them will just going to dump and some of them will become a shitcoins.

We can't describe in numbers but I can say there are very less no of altcoins actually worth off even I would say a coin takes time time to establish in the market. We can not judge the coin like this. Every coin has roadmap even we all knows bitcoin also took time to rise and establish in the market. So some coins takes time to establish in the market according to their roadmap.

You can check out top coins in the coinmarketcap. If they have a working product with the active project is really good. Please make sure to check out their social media profiles and future updates. Because those details are giving huge potential to reach the market cap. Another important thing is the well-experienced and active team. Please don't forget to do your own reach with the coins.

I think the top 100 coins in CMC are valuable coins. the coin that the platform operates is a valuable coin, the rest is only shit. and never expect a coin that does not have a trading volume to have value, because it is in vain.

I think only about 10% is an altcoin that has real value from thousands of coins in circulation, and there are even many of them just a scammer who took advantage of this moment.

I think that the current state of the cryptocurrency market should make some adjustments to the existing amount of altcoin. these projects have already lost their attractiveness, but soon the prices for them will fall even lower.

it is hard to say because you would have to go through all of the altcoins and hand pick only those that are truly good and not just shitcoins in disguise and as someone who has done it with a lot of coins and gotten disappointed in 99.999% of the times i have to say that the best guess would be around 10 or less altcoins that are actually worth something. the rest are all in bubbles.

95% altcoin trash. They can be used as a short-term speculation. I would not advise to keep altcoins for a long time. Every month, the exchange will delist the altcoins and your investment may turn into zero.

You are right, there are only several currencies, that have already released their working product and that are really backed by something and not just a whitepaper. Thats why I think there are like 100 coins that are worth investing.

in fact, only Bitcoin is really worth something. I would say that all other crypto currencies are just ideas for now.

I would prefer the top 25 to top 30 alts are still woth something but reality speaking only btc and eth matters for some in our market. I also thought that only 2% of the alts are valuable in our market.

I think everyone has their own opinions about their favorite coins, for myself, I think coins in the top 10 are good coins, so I prefer them to other coins. I think choosing coins that are in the top 10 markets can also slightly reduce the risk of loss.

The number of exist altcoins can not guarantee those altcoins good and worth as investment tool or to traded but the real fact is 99% of the current altcoins cannot survive more than a year and became an dead coin but for me 100 altcoins is good especially if most of them are potential to hold or trade

It is easy to indicate the most value coins in market. As my opinion, which coins are traded daily with big transaction volume stably are really worth coins, at least in market now, but later it is unknown what will happen. You can see 50 coins that you need in Coinmarketcap from order  1 to 50  ;D

We do not have too many coin that worth something but not like saying 5-10,that is far from it,If we say 5-10 like some are saying,then we mean the top 100 are useless coin which is not.We still have so many altcoins that are worth investing but the bear has really affected many of them.When you make your research you will find them.

There are some very good altcoin/ blockchain projects that will be worth something in the future, but right now the market is at it's lowest and although we had a small rally before Xmas, the market has again dumped for those day traders eager to take profits and with many holidays still to come up, I don't see much happening for an upside just yet. I think it was just a pre pump to pump a little so they could short again to collect more profits during Xmas and the New Year. I do think some projects will go sky high n a bull run and some will die long before then, so you just need to find the best ones and collect them. I haven't been able to collect many tokens or coins right now due to bear market conditions.

Very few altcoins are worth something. The coins are too much and many of them are pump and dump coins, after being dumped another duplicate comes up and so it keeps going. The top coins on CoinMarketCap are OK to watch and invest on.

Very few altcoins are worth any attention. Most are just pathetic copies of what is already there. And how many do not create them, they still remained garbage, which after some time will disappear from the market.

We have some altcoins that are worth something but definitely not many of them,though at times it depends on what we can see of them.

I will say this. I see that the cryptocurrency is dying. Projects do not meet high standards and are simply useless. It kills cryptocurrency completely. I think soon after most of these dead projects will leave the market.

There are many good projects in the market rite now, out of 2000 , many will disappear with time.

Those who have product or real use case will perform in future , other will disappear.

can't say exact number of good projects but yes there are some very good project.

There are lot of crypto currencies with different usage platforms but not enough places where we can spend those coins so it is hard to find the worthy coins now.But not all those 2000 coins were worthy to invest.

IMO, maybe around 100 coins are worth something. There are some new projects in the 200 or 300 ranks that are not established yet but have the potential to grow.

Neither 100 coins or tokens have applications or minimally an adoption.

Well, I do not think it could reach 50 altcoins are worth it. Sometimes the most worth it altcoins will only maximum of 10. There are lots of Cryptos out there but their are few you could say that its really worth it. Its seems to me that some altcoins are just a copycat of other altcoins thats why some of them are worth it and the other are worthless. Hopefully, as time goes by many altcoins will be worth it to hold.

Shall I say Top 1 - 10 on Coinmarketcap are considered to be worth something or even I do only recognized BTC and ETH only except XRP shitcoin.
There are lots of coins in the market but 98% of them are completely trash so its better to stick out to those coins which do really have the potential
that can able to run for long term or simply do have a real-life benefit or innovation.

For the fact that we have over 2k cryptos makes it a bit scary as to which will scale through at the end. To say the least,  most don't even have working products, but let's watch how events unfold.

This is time to think what we actually need to do. Focus on the goal and spread awareness. There are allot of coins but has to choose the one which can be beneficial for now and for tomorrow. If you explore the market you will find long list of it. According to me the best altcoin which is worth investing is one and only bitcoin.

Apart from the few privacy coins and exchange tokens in the space that have utility use most of these Altcoins are useless, at-times and I sit down and think these people must have done a great job to convince people to part with their money and offer them a useless tokens in return

I think most of the Top 300 projects that are worth something, maybe even the top 600. They have less capitalization, but there are a lot of really undervalued projects.

Every crypto worth exactly as much as people are willing to pay for it...
So every crypto that has a volume on exchange worth something...

Not all valuable coins are in the cmc top 100, and not all top 100 coins in cmc are valuable, or will be for long. some will longer be there soon, just because coin is on cmc top 100 list doesn't mean it's worth putting money on.

Quality over quantity. You need to get the best coins instead of having hundreds of thousands or millions of cheap coins that aren't worth investing your money.

This is a misconception to the new investors there, you guys think that a cheap coin will make you rich so you are choosing those cheap coins that will pump somehow in the future. IMO, it's wrong to think that way.

I do not know how many are worth something to be honest.
It is true that many are still down since we are still in a bear market so I think it is unfair to judge a coins worth base solely on price.

CMC requires minimum 100k$  total turnover for listing cryptocurrencies. Low cap coins always have low circulation before getting shilled by twitter heros in order to pump them.

Only Ethereum and Ripple are worth hodling. Other coins are just trash for me since they can die anytime and the sad thing is that their development team already stopped improving their coin. Unlike the two I have mentioned, they are established and proven that they can recover and pump up anytime.

I'm afraid that it's true :)). Only few altcoins out there are worth to invest in while there are thousands altcoins to invest in. It's also the reason why it's not easy to earn money in crypto world cause everyone can easily fall into a terrible altcoin and lose their money if they don't have any experience but still wanna earn money in this world :)

if you mean the real products behind the altcoins then only 10-20 coins are worth something. others just have prices for trading.

Mostly guys wrote about 5-10 altcoins. But I don't agree with them. There are also projects not from the top of coinmarketcap which have ready products and tradable tokens. I think 20-50 altcoins.

It does not matter how many cryptocurrencies exist. The quality of these coins is important. I don’t mind a lot of coins, especially if they have fans. However, for me it would actually be enough just a few hundred.

Throughout 2018 it was a bad year for the development of all crypto, but this did not at all make them disappear from the market (dead) everything was there, and it went on as usual. I think maybe only 0.1% of Alt-Coin's population is on the market. Because until now they can still survive and it seems they still deserve to be relied on even though the competition between them still continues to this day.

I think that no more than 20 altcoins will be worth something in the future. There are really a lot of projects in recent years and each of them is trying to solve some problems or to transfer some interesting idea on the blockchain. But most of them will not be able to realize their intentions and really worthy projects will be very few.

And thinking of investing with 50 altcoins, seriously it's totally a lot.

Your portfolio has used diversification that much. It is good to diversify but you need to look for the good coins to expand your money not with just called you are doing the deed. You need to be more oriented of the coins that can potentially give you returns, not just to make you look like a real crypto enthusiasts.

There is definitely value in majority of listed cryptocurrency, asking and questioning the value of cryptocurrency is a negative approach in accessing the value of cryptocurrency. There is big uses cases for majority of cryptocurrency listed in coinmarketcap, there is no need watering down these valuable asset because of out own insecurities!

Many good altcoin and having a good product. I am prefer choosing altcoin in top 200 rank in coinmarketcap. Too many token and coin in market make us confuise but it give us more choice when we decide to invest in altcoin but most that altcoin just pump and dump coin.

I think there are only a few coins that really have good value, that happens on the market and also in my wallet, I have more than 10 altcoins that I have received from prizes and also airdrop, but for now most of the coins I the price is very cheap but it is not a big problem because there are some coins that I believe have good potential in the future so I still hold back and hope for the coin

only a small fraction of the existing altcoin can survive and even produce for the long term. less than 100 of the total of all the altcoin which could produce. so maybe this time ranging from selective to choose the coin will determine the outcome for the long term.

This is a very unpredictable time. Today Altcoin may cost 20 cents and next year 100$. The market is young and unstable and there are many promising projects in this market. I would do the analysis and buy a lot of altcoins at minimum prices.

Its hard to say but i think altcoin with market cap value more than $10million is worth to invest for long term. Some people said its better to invest in top 100 coinmarketcap but i think coin with market cap more than $10million good altcoin and having a good community
