95% of Cryptocurrencies will Not Survive in 2018

[bisa coy]

This is very baseless without any fact to back it up.

in my opinion to present something we must have full support for the things we will present. I agree with you!

[beetlejam]

Please back up statements like this with stats and reasoning. People will read this article and give it validity without looking for the facts.

If 95% of crypto's will die, there's still hundreds of coins left to invest in and trade with.

That is kind of a simple way to view things. A lot of the developers are trying to help Bitcoin grow so it could be used for mainstream adoption.

[renes]

There are approximately 1000 coins in fact it is lower than 500 as most are just trash coins. so only 25 of them will survive in 2018  95% is not realistic but I agree with this idea.

[randal9]

I don't know how many exactly, but most of them will disappear...the strongest will remain and it's time to place bets and invest while they are cheap

[gorkhalitrader]

I agree some of these cryptocurrencies are a scam and some of them pump and dump. But some of them have a great potential to grow and expand and provide the same rate of return like bitcoin, ether, iota or neo.

[vejdemann]

I'm not sure in the percentage. I think, something near 70% will not survive in 2018, but it will be much more new altcoins, and it will be the circle from one year to another.

[crypto1nvest]

It's not so bad prediction, 95% it's not all cryptocurrency we still have 5% which make us rich. So make your bets lady and gentlemen.

[Jalum]

Lol that's a pure provocation! Crypto-market will grow by 2 times in 2018, I believe.

I think that you are reading the statement wrong. The coins that are out now aren't worth being in the crypto-market.

[Jahreer]

Even if we will loose 950 of 1000 altcoins in 2018, there are be couple of thousands more others to be introduced next year. Natural selection and the cryto-evolution process has jus started!

Once you take out the scams (let's face it, there are a lot of them), the reality is that 90% of startups fail, whether they're crypto based or not makes no difference. It's been well documented for years, so to say it like it's something unique to ICOs and cryptocurrencies is a little disingenuous. Institutional and angel investors understand the risks vs. rewards. The only difference in the crypto space is that you have a lot of amateur investors that don't understand the risks, or how long it takes to get a product/project to market.

90% of ALL startups fail: https://www.forbes.com/sites/neilpatel/2015/01/16/90-of-startups-will-fail-heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-10/#4578dd4c6679

 These are my pick that will end up in 5% survivors. BTC / LTC / ETH / ADA / OMG / NEO / GBX / DASH.

[CreamyCheesecake]

Lots will not survive because lots clearly show their pump and dump scheme right away because devs are greedy and they just want quick profits. But solid alts actually can soar more than they did this year in 2018. Alts might have experienced a crash in their btc pair, but their Fiat value has gone to the sky this year.

[andrii.povkh]

Yes, most of bad projects will not survive, and it is good news. Who is forbidding you to invest in good projects which eventually become new Apple? So in 2018 business as usual - go and investigate for yourself and find a good project worth investing.

[JesusCryptos]

99% of cryptocurrencies always survives, as long as they keep a community, no matter how little.

[Gunpaycity]

95% fail yes, I assume you are counting all the airdrop coins then?
But 2018? The alts haven't really taken off yet and the market just started to get real attention.
But then again it's cryptoland, anything is possible.

if that's the case, I hope to get the remaining 5% alt-coin

[CisColtz]

I heard this back in 2015 and 2016 and yea some of alts will die , but that doesn't mean that will get off the market so be carefull what you trade in 2018. Better to inform yourself about what effects has bitcoin on alts after this bull run.

[Adil Amim]

It is true that many project does not have real work and are useless for the market ultimately turning to be a loss for investors. But there is even new upcoming projects that may give a strong competition to Ethereum.

[veraoktav127]

surely many are disappointed if 95% crypto can not survive in 2018 because surely many who have held it even for a long time

[Johnnywelsh]

You know there's a historical setting on coinmarketcap to get a snapshot of token value from years past?

Providing your not investing in pure shitcoin then even if the project sells you'd be surprised at how much coins still hold their value. People buying/selling to pump and dump looking for profit.
