Do Altcoins really have a future?

[tanghere02]

I think Altcoins do have a future for as long as bitcoin is still around because it still is depending on bitcoin and by the end of the day people will still convert their altcoins to bitcoin, that is the hard truth to the crypto world.

Depend on what altcoin did you decide to invest
Of course altcoin provide more profit than bitcoin if you're lucky enough to choose the best one ,  just make sure that keep the rest of investation on next 5 years who know it can valued more than today

Yes they do. ethereum is not a payment coin anyway, it is a token that represents wealth or anything you put in there. If people learn to utilize and take advantage of it then we will definitely see a bright future. 

always think long term dude! nobody had become millionaire in weeks.

I think that Altcoins really do have a future, I mean sure Bitcoin will always be at the top, but many projects are also under Altcoins. I myself also have high hopes for ETH given that it grew so fast, and many projects are under ETH. I also think that altcoins really have a use, you could buy altcoins and sell it for a bigger profit, I guess. But we can never tell the future, we as a community will need to adjust accordingly on what's going to happen.

There is the 1% that will surely survive, but I'm not so sure if Ethereum is one of them. Also, keep in mind that after segwit, we will be closer to making possible the implementation of many of these cryptos in Bitcoin sidechains.

Why wont they have future?..Maybe as of today bitvoin still prwvail but other than bitcoin we already see lots of altcoin successfully getting their price higher and being popular as time passes. Maybe they just need more time and someday they can be as valuable as btc.

There is no future for altcoins. They will all merge into one SUPERCOIN to rule them all.

As we can see Popularity keeps increasing for crypto, big dog is still and always will be BTC but there's new projects launching each and every day with their own token. A lot of them with great success too!

I doubt we'll see a future without any alts. They have their own part to play

[dounfer]

yes, but it really depends on the people who use it..
if people dont care for it.. its not useful.

bitcoin only became useful because people thought it was useful.

You are generalizing the entire alternate cryptocurrencies as one. Altoin in general cannot be said to have a future or not. It has to be broken down into several specific altcoins. There were many altcoins that have already died. On the other hand, there are also altcoins that have been used widely and are already trusted by the people. Altcoins depend on its team and its actual usage.

You are spot on with this part. But then again we have a few coins with an actual use and a good dev team that's still undervalued or unappreciated. While we have other coins/tokens that are complete and utter shit and yet those are widely spread and holds a greater value. Strange world is what it is but the true ones will be victorious in the end I guess.

Altcoin still play a role till this day, you can see on coinmarketcap which coin like doge, lite is still exist. This is because they have a good future on it, mean while nowadays this altcoin they made is only way to get short term profit. They do not intend to make their coin as long as doge or lite. I admit their roadmap ia pretty good but still many of them are not good enough

The only reason that altcoins will have a future is when many companies and services accept them. Most of their purposes for example is to be used an alternative bet in online gambling like dash, litecoin and the others. This is the only way that I see how altcoins will survive.

Yah I still think something will eventually surpass BTC as #1 too! We will see though with side and off chain technology coming to the blockchain, I see bitcoin having a longer and be able to scale more than it did day 1.

[inthelongrun]

Yes, they do have a future. But only if the coin is actually working and being used. That is the single most important thing to consider in alternate cryptos. Bitcoin is no problem anymore because people are doing business using it but when it comes to alts, which have different uses, it really matters whether the coin is working or not.

To summarize not all Altcoins have future and it depends on a altcoins use not the working properties some altcoins i found have no true use and it was only run and have a fake launches without credibility . Choosing a good altcoins is better and try to look at coinmarketcap for that top coins so you will have an idea .

It is true, altcoin really has a future that is secure and well worth it because I personally have proven with invest in some coins into a bitcoin on years ago, and then recently a couple of months I sold it yesterday because there was a sudden needs. and bitcoin is very useful for my future life

You can use google to find some answer if you want to. I don't know what business brought you here lol. Anyway, bitcoin is the first and father of all coins in cryptocrurrencies, while alt coins is just an alternative coins copied/cloned originaly from bitcoin itself. This is just a short summary of my answers to give to you.

[leonair]

I would like to take this in my own perspective and understanding and I will present it by percentage, this maybe right or wrong in your own thoughts.

'Crypto Currencies'

50% Really wants bitcoin to earn their Fiat investments because Bitcoin's price now is peaking.
40% Is using altcoins to trade it with the exchanges and take advantage of the potential growth and eventually converting it back to Bitcoin.
8% Miners that mines Bitcoins, Altcoins to make a profit out of it and converting it to Bitcoin or straight with their Fiat.
2% Dead people who is holding a Bitcoin and some other altcoins.
 
This is only my wild guests in terms of percentage of what is happening with crypto's.
