Using in real-life make a Altcoin valuable. Besides the team have to be active and have to fulfill everything described in the roadmap.

Still there has to be a good advertizing, your altcoins that now it is very difficult to make as cryptocurrency advertizing began to forbid on all browsers of social networks and so on.

It's not a ban for advertising for bitcoin or crypto as a whole, facebook only bad ads regarding ICO and twitter just followed as well.
The internet world is very big, even if they will ban, there are many ways to get information for a person that is willing to learn.

Google, Twitter and Facebook are always the subjects for the ICO projects want to promote, marketing. These companies banned ICO promote because the risk of this field is large than the profit they can earn from these deals. Many people lost money from the ads promoted on these platforms, so, banned this ads is one of the solutions to reduce the ration scammer and lose money on the world.

Just understand and remember one simple thing. Altcoins are securities whose value increases with the capitalization of the company. Therefore, the more the company earns, the more you get.

Value of anything is determined on the basis of demand and supply. The value itself is embedded in the faith of the community that the supply and demand will have gradual upward price pressure over time.That faith is founded on the structure of the market place as specified by the rules that are embedded in the cryptocurrency application code, the historical performance of the marketplace, and the anticipated and actual utility of cryptocurrency for payments through currently available goods and services and through investments in new goods and services.

They can be sold over exchanges and your information can be found there somewhat if you cash them out directly. If your willing to transfer around quite a bit you could still securely transfer out.

The main way it would stay anonymous is through direct peer to peer transactions which would be beneficial in some certain "markets"

alts need PRODUCTS THAT WORK.
in the shitstorm of useless tokens, 99.9% of them don't have any real use... unlike the project in my sig.

I'm developing an altcoin that is based on social sharing. What foundational technologies are going to make it the most valuable? What makes an altcoin valuable? I'm wondering if it is just how much people hear about it? Thoughts?

Generally, the value of anything that is being circulated would depend on two factors, namely, demand and supply (or limited offer). Put these two together, then that’s when "price" comes in. Just think of super cars where only a few or limited units are being made. Due to the very limited supply and the number of buyers who are bidding each other out just to get one for themselves, the price would be set soooo high! Same with alts, if the supply is reasonably few and the demand is great, then the price will surely compensate.

It seems to me only the supply and demand
also it can be pumps/dumps.

Altcoin is valuable because of its foundation technologies.The only thing that makes a coin more valuable it's the hype coin has created in the market which is again nothing  but money invested in the marketing.You can use all the great technologies you want to make the coin a success but without money for marketing,the ICO will fail terribly.

Buyers in ICO and on the exchange do altcoin valuable. The higher the demand, the higher the price.

The number of digital currencies is continuously growing, and by the beginning of 2018 their number is approaching 1000 pieces. But, not all these are really worthwhile projects, in most cases, behind the names of altcoys, the goals of enriching their creators are in front of everything. In 2018, tokens became very popular, which are "securities" for block projects.

Correct, using a token in real life what make it valuable. Regardless it is Peer to Peer, Utility or Security token, as long it has an actual need for the real life transaction then it will be very valuable. I saw one Alts like Stack (STK), a POS utility token that you could utilize the app once you have a token loaded and could be able to pay anything through your smart phone as long it is connected to mastercard.

You're right, one of the main factor is the demand of the project here in crypto currency community which gives impact to those people who are part on the certain project that they had joined. On this situation, it will apply the law of supply and demand which means the more users will benefit the project will be popular gaining enough profit having a great amount of supply.

Altcoin will rise and became more valuable if they have a good project that it can easilly get investors attention. Also if the people behind at the project are brilliant and known to many that they are dependable and reliable im sure many supporters will follow. The best is that if they can showcase a good technology that has good funtions and purposes to people. A good example of it is the smart contract of ethereum, that's make ethereum more valuable and trusted by people.

In my opinion. Altcoins value grows due to the people who buys it, holds it, and its popularity. When participating in bounties, I usually search those faces who are said to be administrating the token. When their faces or names does not showed up in any search engine, I usually assume that it is a scam or when their profile does not comply with the details presented. Next is the bounty manager, usually they are the first bounty worker who just hired more bounty hunter. If they have a lot of history about bounty scams then it is usual to do not trust most of his bounty. Also that when the bounty reaches soft cap, usually it is safer because money is assured for dispatch

May be because now many people who believe in altcoin, so many investors who invest their money in altcoin by placing a high price that is currently very valuable altcoin

[Betheng]

they have less hash power securing them, involve fewer developers improving them and are usually less useful due to smaller network effects. And while many altcoins promise useful features, upon closer inspection many of these promises are just that: promises.This also means that altcoins are typically riskier than Bitcoin. Their exchange rates are often more volatile, and over the years virtually no altcoins have maintained their value against bitcoin; most have come and gone. On top of that, many altcoins can be considered outright scams, mainly created to enrich its inventors and early adopters.

If you want to create your own Altcoin you should have a good product as project back ground of it so that it will attract the investors to pour their investment to your project because if your product is not feasible to the masses for sure no one will invest to your coins because every Altcoin now is used to become a utility token for a certain product so that it will create a real demand of that Altcoin.

its ability to solve problems that cant be solved by current mainstream technology. Or its offering to solve a problem in an innovative way.

Altcoin is a big space to test various technologies in cryptocurrency domain, which I think very good. Those with unique technologies merit to be valuable.

Altcoin is a big space to test various technologies in cryptocurrency domain, which I think very good. Those with unique technologies merit to be valuable. 

But basically, 95% is testing of raising funds in the new vitnance market. And the development of technology stands apart.
