When you think about it its just people trying to replicate bitcoin and get some cash out of pump and dump schemes. Nothing really seems legit even the best ones like dash and eth dont seem to have alot going for them.

Well.... yes and no.

If you're only into trading alts for speculation and scam profit (and it seems 90% of people are) then, yes.

But if a community of like-minded people forms around an idea and the "coin" becomes equity in the community, then no.

All poetry is not worthless just because someone else wrote the first poem.

I don't think so in my opinion bitcoin is more valuable than gold now you can say bitcoin is a pump and dump if we are on 2013 but hey we are 2016 and all bitcoin holders and lovers are waiting for that huge zoom in it's value

A lot of people hold gold also hoping its value will grow. I see no difference.


But to stay on topic: There is a small % of altcoins that bring innovation. Some are beautiful projects, not just pump and dump schemes.

Some said the same about Bitcoin, not many years ago.

All alts and even bitcoin are just BS when they drop in price. When they got pumped, everybody was cheering for these coin and saying that they will take over the world. Even in the stock market, there will be pump and dump. That does not mean something is BS when it drops.

Haha, nice subject.  I would agree that the majority of alts are just BS and put out simply to make a quick profit, they have become much easier for people to create now and a lot of them are just clones with a fancy or stupid name.

There are some that do come out with a great community behind them and some serious development but yes the majority of alts are pure BS.

Sounds like you need to move on from crypto then.  But I disagree,  the bitcoin market is too deep to pump and dump unless you're a major whale. 

OP, yes altcoins are all shit unless they actually get used.  And most don't.

well, that is true. almost all of the altcoins were created just to copy bitcoin and they don't have any real application for the real world unlike bitcoin.

but there are a couple of them which are not yet good but have some good features to them that you should not ignore.

but anyways the first purpose of all altcoins are to help us make more bitcoin by trading them Cheesy

Altcoins are one of the main reasons BTC even has value. They give an extremely large avenue to use btc compared to retail or online  sales of items. Without altcoins BTC use would plummet to all time lows as its uses would sharply decrease.

Bonus, BTC is an altcoin itself as E-Cash was the very first cryptocurrency introduced in the 80's that was actually adopted by use in banks. BTC didn't show up until 10 years after the E-Cash experiment finally went under.

The only difference is bitcoin gets pumped and dumped constantly, gold doesn't. You can think whatever you want but BTC is a virtual asset and gold has been real money for ages.
