There are thousands of altcoins listed on CMC. We had a little bit conversation between my friends. He was saying, only 30-35 altcoins can be useable in blockchain industry in future. Rest of them will be dying for sure. What do you think? What are the points to choose of a coin that might have a bright future? Only use case is the main thing or you will add other? Thanks

That's true and almost 90% of the altcoins in the CMC were crap coin or I can say the percentage should be more than it.

The only point to choose the coin that will have bright future must be based on the product that already created by the platform itself. Remember about so many crap products that can't even generate revenue.
This is just a basic analyzation. The real purpose of the product is to get the revenue from sell it to the users and the company can sustain even longer and give benefits to the investors. If you are seeing other than this point and never try to choose that coin.

The use case that related to the utility usage and it's not about the ability for token to be like a security coin that makes you able to receive dividend.

I think it much higher than that! The 30-35 altcoins was too low since altcoins are the dominate number of coins in the market, out of the thousands altcoins that exist maybe 200-300 altcoins that has a true use case, including the real world application. I think the rest are just pump and dump project, or mostly copycats from other existing projects.like payments, smart contracts etc. there are bunch of copycats altcoins in the market today.

the majority will be dead for sure, before choosing the coin. you need to figure out what is the issue that they are trying to solve and their competitors, afterward find out their development. a use case is a basic thing and the most important one that every project must have if they want to survive in the competition, without a use case they will not be able to address the problem that they want to solve and absolutely they will not have a future.

possible that it will true because there are no real use most of the altcoin. If you invested in altcoin you should know what currency do you think will be usable someday and can make more people adopt that currency.
If there are no use and only for trading in long term the value of each altcoin will decrease since the adoption of that coin is also decrease.

I think if any coin/ token is going to be successful they are going to need a good use case and then get a lot of users for their project or else they will most likely fail, which we see happening with a lot of projects right now

Actually we don't need thousands of cryptos even if all the people uses cryptos as their primary payment source so the remaining coins will lose its value sooner if the adoption increases but which one stays will be too hard to find other than the coins which are older like bitcoin.So far bitcoin,ethereum,monero will stay here if cryptos accepted by people.

There is no telling when a certain coin will go up, even news wont pump a coin up, there are some who pump their own coin buy buying it,
and giving false alarm to others but, i think the only legit thing for a coin to pump is to get a investor with a good background and
has really a project that will push the coin up and bring it all together to produce something that is useful and accepted by the community
and as we know government are starting to do the same way starting to be at crypto industry to gain profit and control to the public

Many coins in the market are already controlled by whales, and their manipulation of them will not be immediately known to investors.
And this is one of the things we should look at and study carefully aside from to use cases of altcoins. We should also look at the developments in coins that we think will have an impact on future prices.

Quality over quantity and I do agree that not all altcoins are good, they will die when the most useful altcoins takes over the market. Give at least a 100 altcoins who can help us to transact conveniently and give opportunity to earn. Altcoins season will still come, but if its a shitcoin then they are not belong in this market in long term, play short with them because they will gone later on.

I think its time to clean-up coinmarketcap. There are lots of non active coins which just fills the list without any purpose. I hope that happens soon.

If you want to choose altcoins that might end up having good future go with their real use cases, many new altcoins are listed on CMC Today and many of them have ridiculous prices and low trading volume, i know some will grow over time but make sure the project's use case will be high demanding

30 - 35 altcoins may be too small. I think we have more altcoins than that which is useful to the community and valuable to blockchain. If you want to choose a coin now, I suggest you choose a coin that has got potential partners.

+ Good partnerships
+ Real Use Cases
+ Working Products

These are what makes a coin worth having in your portfolios, there is no guarantee that all altcoins with real use cases will survive because some might fail but they are better than investing in altcoins that has nothing good to offer especially deflationary tokens

I believe that such a thing is worth noting here. For the crypto industry to develop and you and I could see working projects and successful cryptocurrencies, you need to develop these projects and new cryptocurrencies. And already from them the strongest and necessary will remain. Once I watched one video and there one of the leaders from Wall Street said that they are closely watching the cribbing of various crypto projects and cryptocurrencies and if they see something interesting, they will simply buy this project or cryptocurrency. So we get that a lot of startups come out and, as a result, there will be those that will be noticed by major players in the market.

i think it depends on how is the purpose of the coins/token and i prefer with the coins that don't have a premine coin

Yes many altcoins will make a come back with vengeance in near future but be careful which coins you keep, some are good for short term hold and only few altcoins with highly recognized use cases are going to nailed it

I think it's the right time for CMC to remove dead coins on their list. It's true that there are only a few numbers of legit and potential altcoins that could grow and survive in time. Coins which could survive are multi-functional and coins with a good purpose. It might be just 30-35 but there are possibly lesser than half the listed coins in the CMC which I think would reach a good price in the future.

With the amount of altcoins being listed every day or week i'd be surprised if most altcoins would be removed since they have specific rules. 

Currently, Coinmarketcap nearly have 5000 cryptocurrencies listed saying half of them would show some growth in the future sounds too generous. If all half of them does improve only because there was another similar bull run I doubt most people who've invested would use them for their main purpose.

in fact no one will know the amount of altcoin that will last for the future. You can see there are thousands of useless altcoins or almost all of them are junk coins. but I think the top altcoin that is able to survive in this industry is altcoin which is widely used for investment. and the possibility of them still having hope to continue to live in the future.

Some, as exclaimed my many others, 99% of altcoins are shitcoins with no inherent value.

Value is created by adoption, usability and the community or investors who back them. There will never be an altseason again like 2017-2018 and when it comes, only a few coins will see tremendous returns.


Deflate your hopes and dreams, come back to reality everyone.

Like 2017? Really? Back then a lot of people were investing in various altcoins. But apart from a handful of them, none of the altcoins had any practical use back then. And the situation remains the same even now. Many of these altcoins came up with tall claims during the ICO phase. But none of these plans turned to reality and more than 99% of them still don't have any real use.

No they won't. Crypto markets are shifting from ICOs to mainly Bitcoin and some safer top 10 altcoins.

People see how much alts are losing compared to Bitcoin in bear market and switch to safer investments. Some coins that used to be quite popular a few months ago like BSV are going lower and lower. XRP also isn't doing too good. If you have fiat lying around buy Bitcoin. It's the safest investment in this market.

I dont think that it will be happen again the things in 2017 , but we may still hope that this next year a lot of altcoin would be pump due to the bitcoin halving , I wish that it can affect the price so that it may not be as same as price in that year still bitcoin  could go mainstream together with the altcoins and they both have good coin value. Hoping for bull season.

Right, the thousands of altcoins are listed on Coinmarketcap but only a small percentage of the mentioned altcoins have the real use case. The project with real useful, the working product will never die and the lesson is to make a working product in order to survive in all kinds of market conditions for the teams. There are more than 30-35 projects which can change the outlook of the investors in a short time during the bull market.

He said the truth although I might not say only 30-35 will be useable but one thing is sure, many altcoins (more than 90%) won't be useable and thus will die off. Yes, use case is the main thing but not the type or the one the team keeps writing about but rather the one we are seeing it's usage in different ways in the real world. Sadly, only few projects are currently offering this with a huge number just joking around. Lastly let this be a call for seriousness wherein we don't invest in a shit project.

There are coins certainly meant for certain community alone, BNB is just for traders in binance before they created the DEX. Today BNB are still used by traders and also for the teams who wants their token listed on the DEX.  BNB is just an example but some other coins also works for other community. The staking community are also having their own coins to. Having a god community for a coin is one point you look for so it won't be dead, why do you think LTC didn't die when it got no use if it weren't adopted by the gambling sites.

2017 rally won't take effect again except there's something outside what has happened or existing to move prices up. You and your friends are right only few tokens will be relevant in time to come.

Your friend is probably only partially right.  I agree that most altcoins are destined for zero in the next few years, but I disagree with his estimate.  There will *probably* only be 10-15 coins and maybe fewer that will ever achieve anything useful.  Eth is one of them, and as for the rest that's anyone's guess.  A lot depends on how active the devs are, how strong the community is, and other factors.

Bitcoin has definitely gone mainstream, and usually if I hear about any alts in the news it's Eth.  I'm not sure any other ones get any news coverage and don't know if that will change or not.  Personally I hope it does, because there are a few coins that have a high market cap and which have held their value thru the 2017-present crypto recession.  They deserve some recognition in the media, but media coverage of crypto is still an emerging phenomenon.

There should be more than 200 coins that will die in the future. Because most just make concepts without running them, nothing can really be applied to real life.
Maybe only a few percent of all altcoins can really be used, the rest is just speculation.

And another thing, the concept of one coin to another is almost certainly similar because yes they are trying to make a shortcut by copying an existing project.

The idea that the useful ones will survive is true, but we can not know that as a number. Maybe 1, maybe 100. It depends on what kind of payment system these governments will adopt in the future. Look at the money we use today, for example, in the US the USD is enough to make every payment. Or governments will give us freedom and we will encounter all kinds of coins. lol

For sure - a lot of altcoins will die. But there is a lot of talking on forum now about returning of altcoin green season. Let see..

Coins that have been dumped to the bottom and have a dead volume will not return, if they go up then they have to start the marketing concept again, or provide funds as an intermediary, IEO etc., or speculation only runs very short. The majority will become stone pebbles in the Desert and people are more happy with new quality coins and coins that are able to survive.

Projects that look copying, but there is always something that has more value. For example, we are talking about coins that focus on logistics, similar transaction systems, but applications, marketing areas, and supporting partners are different. Their ability to increase traffic and volume will also determine whether it will end successfully or not.

In fact, the altcoins will die if this altcoin can't provide a real solution. Projects with a better future perspective will not be beaten by the market conditions and the surviving game is not required for them mentioned altcoins. I expect a bloodbath for the next month due to the hardness of bear market.

Yes, it seems like what your friend said and so does the majority of crypto enthusiasm would think like that. It is hard to see that things will return to the peak in 2017. Supporting factors for this are very weak at this time. Even pick altcoins that we think will have potential will be more harder.

I hope so, because it's been 2 years has not experienced a significant increase, I think it will be natural if 2020 will be the year of the rise of altcoin. we wait for what can happen in 2020.

I hope not. Many people got a very bad introduction to crypto thanks to ICOs. There was a lot of investment that went right down the drain when so many projects went bust. This certainly didn't help crypto on the long run.

This is the case most probably by the projects that are worth investing. The figures is quite high I think. Some of the listed project in CMC is just happened due to trading. CMC should at least also evaluate the capacity and project capability to bring use case and not based at trading volume at all cause that's not only matter in surviving in crypto.

yes I think that opinion is true only altcoin has a use case that can survive in the crypto market. if altcoin has real use then trading volume will be high and coins will last long on the crypto market and can be adopted in bulk. at the moment I also only invest in top altcoin. because investing in new altcoins has a great risk because most new altcoins cannot last long on the crypto market.

Some coins will absolutely die in the future if there is no development or the developers run and leave the project (except Dogecoin) but setting aside the use-case of a project, I also think that in order to survive in crypto space, a project must have a strong community and continues partnership to drive demand for their coin.

There is a small possibility that it will happen again. On the year 2017, we so many altcoins beat their previous ATH and we also so many parabolic moves. When this event happening, the term "to the moon" was created. That's why today there are still many hodlers that have a lot of patience increase their money in terms of hodling.

Plenty of altcoin projects have ran out of money or abandoned by its developers in the last couple of years. This is nothing surprising since majority of startup companies usually fail and only the good ones are successful.

That might be true, the altcoins on cmc mostly are a shitcoin that we don't even know if their big volume is real or not. Sooner or later those altcoins will whitered down since we're not seeing any real developments or whatsoever from their developers. The one which will survive none other is the one that has a real use case, I think. Especially if they have a proven, well known, and useful working product. It will make them have a stable life, both in price and volume for a long time.

If we're talking about whether it will be the same just like how 2017 was, we won't know that for sure.
There is a possibility it will but on the other hand it might also not what we've excpected it to be. But I'm sure a lot of us hoping for that to happen once again.

I totally agree with your words sir, there are so many challenges facing crypto, Because of scam projects and mostly investers afraid from investing in crypto,

well it depends .. 1 company can choose to use a coin, and its enough if they do because there are many traders who will sustain the price
there are "use cases" and there are "adoptions"
when the coin does not have a use case but some organization adopted it like Doge for example.

In late 2017 we have seen most of the altcoins rose in the bullish run but now I have little doubt that all altcoins will repeat the same performance again when bull run will start because in this bearish market most of the altcoins have very less trading volume or I can say dead so we can not expect a miracle again from every altcoin this time I believe high potential coins will perform well when bull run will start.

I think you are not much sure that again altcoins will go mainstream like 2017 but it is not right because after 2013 when bitcoin started to drop people were not sure that it will rise again but it started to gain value when the halving time came near also supporting all other coins now as bitcoin is not alone and there are all coins which are moving the same as bitcoin so in this halving again we will see all cryptocurrencies gaining a highest value.

Your friend might not be exactly right. But it is true that there are not going to be a lot of altcoins that are going to perform in the future. So if you want to invest in them, be careful what altcoin you choose. Or sometimes, it's just you're really unlucky even though the coin/project looks promising.

Apparently you cannot blame him to  think that since apparently we actually suffers from huge bear season and might those could kill the expectation of anyone who's keep looking for the  price to grow but hopefully we can see a great lift up when halving came since for sure this is the most awaited time for people to see if we can experience the great rally the same on what happen on 2017.

There will be another swing of crypto popularity, that's for sure. The question is will it be hype based, as it used to be or merit-based because of achievement. My bets are on the latter, hopefully some project like Amoveo will return the crypto glory

altcoins will be hard to get to the mainstream like 2017. Thousands of altcoins are listed on CMC but only 30 to 35 altcoins can be used in the blockchain industry in the future. :)

How do you predict that only 30 to 35 altcoins can be used in the blockchain industry in the future? Have you researched the 35 altcoins that have been registered in the CMC? if you have, try to explain here.

There is a big possibilities that 75%-80% of those altcoin will die even they are already listed to the chart. All we know that what happened last 2017 has a big possibility that will happen in 2020. But it is hard to based on prediction so make sure that you will choose the right coin that you invest to make sure that you are far from loss.

We already know that the condition of altcoins is very critical now, because a prolonged bearish market makes the price of altcoins
increasingly destroyed. Indeed it is true that thousands of altcoins that have circulated in various exchanges, but only about 10% of
altcoins can be useable. This is indeed a terrible fact, but we still have to be optimistic even though the market conditions are as bad
as anything. In my opinion there is still hope altcoins going to get the mainstream like 2017, is likely to happen in 2020. Because many
crypto events can trigger price increases for altcoins in 2020.

I agree that most altcoins will die, because most altcoins are junk coins and it does not serve anything for real life. Perhaps 90% of the current altcoins will disappear in the future, but there will also be many new altcoins appearing, this cycle will occur continuously.
In my opinion the criteria to choose an altcoin is that altcoin's technology really serves a certain need of the market or life. I appreciate the underlying coins, besides the coins of the exchanges that are well worth the investment.

Difficult to restore the crypto triumph as it was two years ago, because now there are so many project developers who are not serious about making projects, thus opening a gap for those who want to cheat, and that you can see now that there are so many project scams.

30-35 dying altcoins in CMC ? Ill think that's not gonna happen even do some altcoins are not listed in CMC they worth also to buy. I found out some altcoins in CMC more than you mention are still active in the market. So we cannot tell yet if they dying or not, The one altcoins be dying maybe are those altcoins that have no development.

So for me Im not agree with you that 30-35 altcoins dying not value in a future, It was only prediction Ill think.

Now it is not known which of these thousands will go into those 30-35 that will be used in the future. I think that in the next 3-4 years there will be strong competition between altcoins and only after a few years we will find out who really is a good project

It would not be a surprise as the new coins and tokens would replace the old ones. Blockchain and crypto are new technologies and are going in rapid development. Any coins that would lag behind on the competition would be left behind. Of the currently listed 1000s of coins, only about 100 would survive after 10 years.

I do not agree with the number your friend mentioned or discussed with you. There is no doubt, many altcoins are not even worthy to be created but saying just at most 35 of the entire cryptocurrencies will survive in the long run is not right, in my own opinion I think 85% can be justified as being worthless while the rest have a good chance of long term survival if they keep improving of course.

For sure, there will be dying altcoins in the near future but I don't want to assume a number because there are still altcoin that will surely survive. 30 to 35 is quite a little number compared to thousands of altcoins. I think one thing you have to consider on choosing good altcoin is that, since altcoins were produced due to need and solution of a certain problem. I think we need to know if that problem was already solved and still there is a need for that altcoin.

I agree that fewer altcoins will survive, and so will the new altcoins, they will undergo a selection period to survive in the crypto world. therefore choosing the right altcoin will help us to get a good return. do not let the wrong choice of altcoin, because it will be rubbish, and that means you lose your money

I think your friend is right. Many of the altcoins will die surely as most are not even sticking to their roadmap plans. I will advise people to focus only on projects that are working and operational or better still just invest money in the top coins Btc and ETH

In 2017, there was craze about altcoins and everyone was thinking that many altcoins will go high in value like bitcoins. but that did not happen and now everyone has realized that a lot of money is gathered in the name of altcoins and there are no real projects behind. The Altcoin season may come again but it will not be as big as the previous one when even the shitcoins gave good profits.
This time around only the best altcoins will survive and rest will die.

Yes that's right because only altcoin has a project that can be used on the blockchain that will survive in the future such as security projects, wallet, Dapp etc. And in my opinion projects that will die, like a sales project or that have no connection with the blockchain

It is likely that alt which is ranked in the top 50 cmc will survive, but who knows the state of the market can not be guessed, even every year we see a new kokn which immediately rose to rank 100, so it is very unpredictable.
coins in the top rank can also suddenly drop at any time.

Yes indeed, there are thousands of altcoins already in existence with more coming up everyday, where out of the whole lot coming up only 1% might be true. This makes me wonder why investors think it's wise risking their funds in those projects. Nevertheless, about saying 30-35 altcoins will be useful in the future; your friend might be right though because even new projects aren't bringing anything new which means those with the first idea will continue growing and topping the charts and others will only but die off.

This is unfortunately true that not all alt-coins will survive especially not a lot of the smaller projects that will just become superseded by newer technologies so if you are investing ensure a startup has long term viability and is competitive in its category and these are mostly top ranked alternative assets

Not all altcoins will be utilized in the future but the top coins will probably be used in the mainstream. The news I've read lately was the SBI holding are going to distribute dividends with XRP, that certainly is a big news, I guess the altcoins where teams can influence big companies to partner with them cater more investors in uncharted areas. The future isn't just for BTC for from cryptocurrencies.

The good altcoins can give better returns in the long term but if we need to invest in alts then we should be 100% sure which coins to invest in based upon their projects. Also i think the next altcoin boom will be after the bitcoin boom, which means the time bitcoin create a new all time high and then altcoins start to pump as it happened in 2017.

I really think that the altcoins will be up like what it was back in 2017. The prices of altcoins right now are so low and if you are a smart investor then you know that this is an opportunity to cop a lot of cryptocurrencies for long term holding and expect to make at least a 100% return if you are patient. Just buy and hold the good altcoins and you will be fine.

2017 is the year of overhyped altcoins. Even some garbage project could get funding easily and the rate of ICO success is significantly higher but that doesn't mean a good thing. The market at that time is really unhealthy and ready to have a massive correction anytime and as a result the massive dumping around Dec 2017 - February 2018. Altcoin have a really low chance to get mainstream like in the past if you take that reason into account and people are not overhyped anymore. The good thing is, the market is rather healthy and not as fragile as it is back then.

Your friend is absolutely right about most of the coins dying in a few years and only a few usable ones that would survive. This is due to the fact that the developers aren't patient enough to wait for their coins to gain public support, they only want to make money and rinse and repeat.
This is the reason why there were so many ICO back in 2017 when crypto was everywhere and bitcoin price was shooting to the sky,so everyone thought of capitalizing on the opportunity and a lot of shit coins were coming each and every week and most of them are dead now.

I think presently, more than 30 are already been used for real world cases worldwide, so his prediction is already flawed.. but I think the altseason is coming and very soon, maybe in 2020, things are not what it used to be in 2017 but we might be seeing another epic price movement in 2020, afterall it's predicted that Bitcoin would still eventually hit $100,000 price range and surely, Altcoins would be following the price growth as well.

yeah i think most of altcoin will be shitcoin. only coins that have trading volume, liquidity, usability and community can survive in the crypto market and that is probably only the top 20 coins in CMC. and in my opinion the altcoin market will not be the same as the altcoin market in 2017. although later bitcoin will pump after being reduced by half in 2020. I think only the top altcoin will experience an increase and maybe the increase will also not be too high.

there will be some altcoins that can still increase their value and at least of the thousands of altcoins that exist, 100 altcoins tend to have good potential going forward and there will be some of the 100 existing coins that will pump up related coins to increase their value. the rest might die and just become useless shit coins

We may seen some of those coins be out of the limelight, but eventually other new top rising coins will pump. I think there will be few of them will reach the top price when the market recover back, and we'll be able to see greener days at trading sites. Hopefully the mainstream will not disappoint us in the upcoming year 2020, and fortunately it brings hope to every holders and traders.

Continuous flows are capable of more Altcoin prices. A considerable mainstream will produce a million potential to get the overflowing high esteem.
Thus the progress demonstrated by Altcoins is a preliminary step for real and global mainstream markets. Able to produce high numbers with a luxurious surprise entitled to make Altcoin the firts in the world. This agility is real and physically classy.

those that will survive are coins that have real demand, and others will die. This is not a speculation, but a reality that will happen in the future. so from now on we have to be more careful if we want to hold it for the long term. Don't be affected by the Hype because this is a mistake.

It is true we already have so much alt-coin right now and most of them are dying or worthless.
The problem is that most of this alt-coin aren't doing what they are supposed to do they aren't following their plan to be successful or be useful to the crypto community that is why they are being ignored.

Well it depends on the performance of the markets... if bitcoin booms again like in 2017 i think altcoins were going to get some attention too by some mainstream media but the problems is there too many altcoins today and some of it are dead or dying making the internet more dirtier and it all it's fault of erc-20 platform by ethereum...

It would be replace if the new coins are have potential, And the old ones are still in the spot if this always be active.
Their are lots of old altcoins are now being remove from the market because of these have no value and no future to be part for those popular altcoins.

I agree with the statement that not many altcoins will last long. Bitcoin may still be a major investment in the cryptocurrency market in the long run but in my opinion there are some altcoins that will be there to survive and I think the coins or tokens are in the top 50 coinmarketcap

Not gonna happen unless bitcoin brings a new never before ATH then altcoins will benefit when dominance of btc start decreasing, whales will surely do their parts as well to maximize their profits and altcoins can deliver that easily

your friends were quite right. but I would choose some 200 altcoins. there are more then 35 altcoins which will survive. maybe 200 is more close to that. and there is always place for new coins if they come up with good idea. a lot of altcoins have solid ideas which any project need to be in long crypto train.

Its really hard to see new projects that keep following their roadmap this days, some have good roadmap but they stop producing or updating, this can easily make a coin devalued, altcoins season will make a come back for sure but no one knows when, not even certain it will happen in 2020

This is not true that only 30 to 35 altcoins will survive and others will dying; you can say almost 100 plus altcoins will remain in CMC, and other will be not useable to its usage in real life. The altcoins that will support an ecosystem that will continue alive, as you can see various projects that are helping in the ecosystem like XRP, XLM and Wechain.

Some of them are really has a great intention for their project but the obstacle is from the investors itself, nowdays it's really hard to find many investors due to many people are leaving cryptocurrency investment because of many scams last year. So, we have to build the trust for the people before altcoins and cryptocurrency become mainstream again

There are alts that really helpful but we can't deny that some alts are redundant in terms of uses. Only one or two among this who served a same role in altcoins ecosystem will eventually retain and will get the spot of most used. Even there are many altcoins I also believe that they will still be popular in the future as investor became smarter only those project who focus on giving better income and services will be able to make it.

If BTC dominance would drop to 35-40 percent as it was back in 2017, all altcoins will raise in price and we would finally enter green market cycle. But I do not see this happening in the nearest future, so buy BTC and wait.

As you said that no one knows what will happen later, we can only predict the possibility that can occur. It could be that altcoin which is currently on the top position will go down and the bottom will go up, it can happen and I think for now what we have to do is how we survive in any condition in the cryptocurrency market.

To survive in the wild market of cryptocurrencies, you need to be prepared and be ready for any possible scenario. You should not go all in because once you go all in and the market dump so hard then you don't have any chance to lower your average purchased price. Just put the amount of money that you can afford to lose and keep the rest of your money as a back up for buying cryptocurrencies at a great price.

Yes, that's right, if bitcoin goes up in price and can bring something new before ATH, then that will obviously be a good boost for altcoin, and whale investors will definitely make a lot of purchases in bitcoin and altcoin, so the main stream to altcoin would never have happened if bitcoin hadn't been able to bring about new changes.

I tried cross checking the cycle with my position, the space is more of a cycle and everything falls within 4 years. There will always be a bullrun sometime in 4 year and the halving, when the bullrun will come forth we dont but it will definitely come. I joined the space when altcoins were less than 2000 and today with big number in the market we dont have 2000 active coin with use case in that market. There maybe a little difference now but altcoins will be starting over like 4 years ago. Exchanges will determine the coin that will pick up even if they dont have used case, imagine a coin that is listed  in top 5 exchanges when the market gets back, it will thrive definitely. SONM still pump recently even with the exit scam when it is listed with the top exchanges and not delisted.

XRP is not helping the adoption of ecosystem, XLM and Wechain are also doing the same as XRP. the fact that just a coin that can attract the buyers that will always survive in this speculation market. You are taking the wrong example if you are arguing about the usability of the coins.

I believe this, it's really unfortunate because altcoin is always based on the price of bitcoin. maybe there will be an altcoin that moves up but not high, whereas if the price of bitcoin can pump first then altcoin can sometimes follow the price.

I think like that, of the thousands of coins listed on the CMC website, not all of them have a bright future, in my opinion only a few are potential and profitable for future investment. I believe in the top coins in the market, like ETH & BNB. these two altcoins have large users and products work well in the market. like the ERC20 smart platfrom and Binance's exchange.

I agree a lot of listed altcoins in the market doesn't really have a volume in Coinmarketcap and also a lot of alternative tokens in the market was not really popular and we know that it doesn't have a future for sure this token will go down in the future only popular altcoins in the market and bitcoin will remain in the market. We know that a lot of ICO was done even today but we know that a lot of them don't even make it in the market because a lot of times the developer of the token do not maintain in and a lot of times it just end up in a big scam ICO. So I think only about 80-90 per cent of the altcoins have a great value and then the rest are dead token.

It is true. There are really lots of crypto coins listed on CMC which most commonly some or many of them just share the same feature added by some features by other developers to make it unique from the other crypto coins that shares the same feature with what they have. I agree that only few will remain in the market due to the fact that only few are acknowledge by the crowd due to popularity and demand added by the fact that people are following the trend of which coin is worthy to put your investment and to be purchased. Many of the existing Altcoins that will be left behind because people does not know their existence or not interested about it will probably die due to lack of support from the crowd that is why the coin is left forgotten. Maybe, just on my assumption at the range of 70-80 percent of the listed Altcoins will remain and the remaining will have no use in the future. There are lots of promising coins within the market which is in need for you to discover on your own but if you are seeking for assurance, internet have already provided list of the most common Altcoins based on popularity and demand.

The way I see it, altcoins are failing. The only altcoins that seems to be okay are Etheruem and Litecoin (LTC), others had been messing up as of recent. If you have been following up you will notice that they have all been going down. Check out coins like Zcash that used to trend, now it's beginning to fall in price and is not even showing any signs that it's going to recover.

Another one is the XRP, despite all their promises and partnerships this year, XRP still fails. Experts have even said that when the next bull run comes only Bitcoin and a very few altcoins or none except Bitcoin will go up. Next year is coming and we are expecting the next halving as well, and that's the time Bitcoin usually start increase, altcoins may not be part of it, even with the little increase we have seen this year, altcoins were not part of it.

Agree, if the dominance of Bitcoin goes down, altseason will occur naturally. With the altitude of almost 5,000 coins and tokens, I don't think all altcoins will go up in price, just a few altcoins that I think will give profits to investors.

That is the main reason why you should pick the right altcoin by now because not all altcoins will be able to survive in the future. Altcoins has lots of rivalry wherein as time passes by, the number of new ones will keep on increasing leading to a more diversified focus for many investors. Their investments will be divided more and some of them might end up in regret as one of the altcoin they picked will fail. You can keep on adding a new coin to secure your future more but always be smart when picking to avoid waste of money and time.

I would suggest that you can choose the top 25 coins from the CMC. You can benefit from it. Alter coins should always be aware of their future relevance.

Of course we expect more numbers than that, so we can have many options to invest in altcoin. Hopefully other platforms can learn from the mistakes that caused altcoin to drop from the market and few people believe it. Because I'm sure we all expect the best for cryptocurrency
