Do Altcoins really have a future?

[BitChief]

I believe it's all just a matter of time. Bitcoin has been known because it's the first among all that have been discovered and people used it first. All other altcoins will have their own time if we people would help them to be known to others.

I actually believe the altcoin market will grow to be much bigger than Bitcoin and Ethereum. We have already seem the top 100 coins by marketcap grow significantly over the past year as we have seen the ecosystem develop.

[red023]

No most of them have not. Some of them have a very bright one.

I am on the look of a Masternode coin with a future and decent RIO but no need to anything with crazy RIO just something that will stick arround for 5 years. If you think you know anything like that please PM me.

[Kosscoin]

I think that only a small part of them has a future, while a large part will most likely simply become unclaimed by society, because only those altcois that really are needed from which there is benefit will remain in circulation.

[idioma1]

I prefer to invest in ICOs that have a real product. Like Red Lanerns. I can get a consultation from certifed doctor and pay for it by internal cryptocurrency REDLs. So, I think that future is for such kinds of ICOs and not airy promises

[TwisterPipister]

I think it depends from the purpose for what altcoin was created, bitcoin has problems with scalability right now, that’s why altcoins are so popular, when that problem will be solved most of altcoins will become useless, but I think if has nothing to do with for example such coins like  ethereum and its tokens, because they have different purpose then bitcoin.

 Alt coins do have a future, especially ETH, their purpose in the markets is still very relevant and can be used as a smaller denominations of a currency. they also provide a variety to chose from in case one needs to transact using crypto.

Altcoins have a future coz basically without bitcoin there will be no altcoins and vice versa. It depends on altcoins what it's gaol and road map to be followed and perform. If the ico didn't succeed then that altcoin couldn't exist in crypto. Those exist are the successful one.

[Ambrosius]

I believe that they have a great future ahead, bitcoin and alt coins would walk together to lead the financial market. Even its more than stocks, people will start looking at this new investment.

[malibubaby]

50% of all altcoins in cryptoworld has a future, others is just a crappy project and scam. You have to consider the top 20 coins on coinmarket and this are have a 100% future to grow.

[bornMercurial]

I believe Bitcoin has a future in long-term. It proved itself in the past years and it is getting widely popular. It just has a transaction fee problem atm.

What about the altcoins? Who does use them for real? Will people use them in the future for a real purpose?

I only have a hope for ethereum and litecoin, but not for the rest. I am not even sure about eth and ltc.

If bitcoin solves the transaction fee and time problem, I doubt eth and ltc even have a future.

I really can not predict this. But if I can hope, I want Bitcoin and Altcoin to survive and grow in the future. The coins are not only used as investment assets but can also be used as a tool for transactions around the world.

Bcoin is the property and Altcoin is the fulfillment of our life needs .. can be understood as such,

There are so many great use-cases and projects being developed still finding their legs. Plus there is a steady flow of talent coming into the Blockchain sphere – I'm very positive for the future of Altcoins and their various applications.

Populous is a P2P (peer-to-peer) invoice finance platform that is globalising what is currently a localised and limited market sector. It is a global invoice trading platform built on blockchain's distributed ledger technology.

Invoice finance is a form of funding that instantly unlocks the cash tied up in outstanding sales invoices. Business owners allow invoice buyers to buy invoices at a discounted rate in order to unlock their cash quicker. Once invoices are paid by the invoice debtor, the invoice buyer receives the amount previously agreed upon.

very sure if some altcoin will be good in the future,
and it should be noted that you should not be mistakenly investing in a gloomy altcoin project

[Yalovtsev]

Definitely,it's like the phone initially was great, not convenient,then became less a BRICK,not that it was not only snake))And view it's only been 13-17 years since the advent of the first telephone,and how much the world has changed,I predict that in 15-20 years,we the world know!!!!

[AiwonOleh]

I think some coins have a great future, but I repeat only in some, the market is now crowded, but of these all coins there will be only a few

[virendarnagpal]

Suppose one alt coin is $ 100 when BTC is $ 1000.  Suppose the market falls and BTC value comesdown to 800 then we will see that other altcoin (in most of the cases) will be worse affected in negative sentiments market.  may be it's value falls by more than 50%.  And if there is further downfall may be there is not buyer to the altcoin at any rates.  On the other hand with positive upward trends when BTC is rising other alt coins also start rising.
So I think  other coins will dance with BTC.  BTC will be leading the market as a king till the time some coin with better qualities is introduced to the market because never ever can be an end to the new inventions.  
Future is filled with so much unexpected / unseen opportunities.   May be some time some better coin is invented then the kingdom of bitcoin will definitely be transferred to new prince.

[Piskeante]

99% of them have NO FUTURE. and as soon as goverments implement regulations, it's still to be seen if even Bitcoin can survive.

[WakinXXX]

in my opinion there are altcoins that really show good growth.
but I think not everyone has a future, some may continue and others can be lost.
For me it's hard to predict which altcoins really are in the future. time should show result))

I only have a hope for ethereum and litecoin, but not for the rest. I am not even sure for eth and ltc.

If bitcoin solves the reansaction fee and time problem, I doubt eth and ltc even have a future.

The future is in those Alts that solve some practical function in life, not just the release of tokens and speculation. In the near future for 2-4 years most alto will die, and if not, will play only a speculative role. If before the alts do not close the regulators, of course. These are just my guesses and thoughts.
