Survival of the fittest

[5ensei]

To pick a good coin for the future we should look at their development fund and the roadmap, and if there is a public figure travelling around the wold promoting the product. I see a big future for LISK which has a ginormous development fund, huge office, and one of the biggest github contributors. This is a good long term investment.

I think at the end of 2020 only the fittest coins will survive the cryptocurrency market. By fit, I mean the most use cases such as Ethereum. There will be market leaders like Ethereum, Bitcoin and others. And along with them the coins which serve to a whole particular industry which have already accepted the coin for their use will survive and rebuild the whole crypto world. 

After such falls, too few will survive. Many coins with low capitalization and liquidity will remain at the bottom and will hardly rise in price. Therefore, it is a very good period to see what the coins in our portfolio are so valuable.

Only top coins will survive with good product and real application in life other will gone forever, but its normal for such new technology

All of the coins will be tested how strong they are when it comes crashing the markets. We had seen how bearish the crypto market for 3months now and even the top 5 coins had been shaky with their price. Although some coins will not going to survive but another coins will be introduce during ICOs and the cycle will continue.

you are right about one thing, that the best coins with real usage and no problems will survive in the long run but i am sorry to disappoint you to say that Ethereum is one of those coins that will probably be dead by then. ETH is not only incapable of lasting long term but also it has a lot of problems that will only get worse as time goes by. and on top of that even if it  didn't have those serious issues, there is still a lot of other projects that are doing the exact same thing as ETH but in a much better way.
and to put the final nail in its coffin, we are going to have RSK (Rootstock) soon which is on top of bitcoin as a sidechain and will offer smart contracts on bitcoin network which is effectively killing off ethereum

You are probably talking about one of the things about Ethereum that a lot of people do not like to hear, and I actually have the same beliefs. BUT I bought some Ethereum myself around $400 last few months because while I believe in platforms doing things better like WAVES and STRATIS, I still think popularity alone will lift Ethereum for a very long time. It will still reach its old prices, I think you cannot ignore popularity.

Look at Bitcoin itself as the best example. People knock it for outdated tech but it is still the most used.

Yes only alts that has real value and significance will survive. That's why before buying or joining ICO , check first if the product you're buying is worth your money. Coin usage, competent and experienced team that are doing continuous developments. Developers and team members who look after their community. The community of investors, traders and users create a big impact on the coins development and success.

[Genrix]

I bet on infrastructure coins like ethereum, Neo,  Eos. You can run ICO based on their platform, create something new and that is about technology progress.

[almtu]

I agree that only the fittest can live in crypto as we can take a look of its platform toward this world of unfair. Sometimes altcoins that build with the background of the world inside and outside crypto can probably stay in the line to go forward.

government regulation may come before 2020 for many countries anround the world and if so this will wipe a lot of the altcoin market...this will be a good thing in the longer term as the market won't be as diversified across so many sh##tcoins. less scammy ico's also.

Or bad... because it will reduce innovation and it will ve harder to raise capital for new projects leading to more security but less agility.

if there is a reduction of altcoin market it will affect the fate of crypto, the reduction of the market is very influential on investors and also the development of crypto will weaken

My favorite bounty coin without doubt is MTC.  Never have I seen such a generous bounty for promotion work.  20,000 MTC for completing artificial intelligence guided projects.  They are using time dilution technology to insure everyone has their fair chance to earn lots of MTC.  Marinecoin is time tested and the project has value built into the IoT platform and strong community.  Find out more here at their website   mari neco.in

I'm not so sure about this, yes most coins will disappear, but that is exactly what is happening right now and yet we have more than one thousand coins even if 90% of those coins disappeared what guarantees you that more coins are not going to appear in that time period? The truth is we must accept that for a very long time there are going to be thousands of projects that are not worth our time and that are going to try to get our money just to enrich themselves.

I don't think he is saying that no new coins will come. Coins have died over the years, for sure. But this year will see a lot of ICO coins "die" or at least show signs of failure. By this, I mean that all those projects that raised millions will have been identifying targets on roadmap objectives this year and... if not met, their supporters will realize things aren't so healthy.

New coins will always enter, even more this year than ever before. But the days of every alt eventually growing will be past. And then we'll have to be much more careful.

Yes, 90% of the altcoins will either fail to work as promised or the owner abandons the project with the money. Both are possible. Just check 2013 year's list of top coins on the coinmarketcap and you will understand the reality.

[atliens99]

A lot of the shitcoins will die out and the quick pump and dumps.  I'm sure there will be at least 100+ useful currencies in the future though.

[bhobafett]

We're trading digital cryptocurrencies here that which are not yet acceptable for everyone. If that will be the case for the next two years, only those coins more popular for to people will survive and scam coins needs to be left out.

[despondency]

This year, for many projects, the announced launch dates for applications are suitable. This will be the defining year when most projects do not show their work and leave the market

[disconnectme]

2020 is around the corner but just looking at the life cycle of Altcoin market most of these coins would have die off and some would be relelgated to the back side but the few that are to gain adoption would create a big gap between themselves and those that are struggling. One thing that I think would also happen is the amount developers would be asking for during the ICO would not be less than $100 million

At the presentation in Singapore, the co-founder of the Ethereum platform, Vitalik Buterin, reported on the imminent implementation of the Casper protocol and called Sharding the main priority of the team's work.

Indian Internet provider Jana conducted a study, the results of which showed that in India Ethereum by popularity beat bitcoin. Local business publications write about this.

Early to drop ETH.
