how many coins do you think will last

[Brothersav]

All coins that cannot define there future will all fade off and be replaced with new ones recently some dumped coins have been deleted from coin market cap.

This. Nail on the head. There's so many shit coins that do the same thing. Those coins are in their own race. One will win. All other coins are in their own race too. The ones that prove themselves will survive. I think 75% coins will vanish in the next few years. Money's gonna move

There are currently 1524 coins on Coinmarketcap making up a total cap of $448,449,144,831.00. With this in mind I think that maybe we are in a "bubble". With out a vetting system for ICO's coming on to the market, there will always be coins that are, as far as their project and actual utilization is concerned, maintain an artificial value contributing to the broader crypto market cap.
Now don't get me wrong. I believe that crypto is here to stay in one form or another. But until we find a way of getting these scam coins (Bitconnect etc.) out of the market, then I believe we will not have a true representation of the market. Furthermore, I think this plays a part in the declining price that is conflicting Bitcoin and other great projects out there as the market becomes over saturated.
Once markets begin using vetting services for potential ICO's, I believe this market will truly start to take off. My question is this, once these coins have to start going through a more stringent vetting process to be accepted to market's how many coins do you think will last, and do you think this is something that will gain adoption in the near future?

Nowadays, many of the cryptocurrencies are doing their best to have a better future. All of them have the same goals which I think is to survive and stay standing for the future.

If there will be a cryptocurrencies will last, I think there would be 25% of the cryptocurrencies now. Without doubt, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin rae belong to that 25% of cryptocurrencies.

Well, I think there's no absolute answers for this matter because cryptocurrencies are built to last imo. I see some coins that still has value and I don't think that it will be gone. But if there are some regulations that will be implemented I think the number of coins that will be created will be in control.

Regulation is incoming, yes, certainly. Just look at all the KYC stuff now, sometimes even for bounty campaigns. Crypto has got big enough that governments are now taking notice. Presumably in the medium-term this will mean that some of the scam projects get weeded out.

Every coin is potential fail, even the coins on tge top 100 list. Currently, there were more than thousands of coin in the coinmarketcap. Most of it doesn't move it price already and also ready for tatal dump. Not half of the total coin has really bright future. i woyld beyyer be investing on bitcoim which haa better assurance than any other available coin.

[musharaf]

if i say that few then this will also a confusion that how many coins if we look at the present time every coin is in active state and many of the users every currency and coin have there are so many holders of the bitcoin and many of the other crypto coins So for now it is difficult to say that which one will last first but i think the the bitcoin and the crypto market will grow more in this year and this currency will be circulating in the world may this will change the world economic position.

[waynechong1995]

Of course many values of alts are supported by top 5 coins as they are interchangeable between each other, BTC has 30-40% dominance which is a lot already. By nature 90% businesses fail or get consolidated into others, which we might see in the recent year, the coins might not necessary die (to value of 1 sen), but rather i think they would be transform into something bigger, leave those coins with no viable purpose as they would eventually overshadowed but other new and more active projects, coins might die but as long crypto grow you wouldn't see any significant difference in terms of marketcap.

[Denlv]

HI!The coins will last longer with no future regulations major happens,if the coins will regulate like in medium says it put out many coins from market what dont have a documents with legality aprociat,however it not happens many coins will survive and scams ico too!Another factors in future inprove to with coins survabilty in markets like securety coins.

[shtako]

Most of the coins on coinmarketcap will become worthless. A coin can be worth millions one day and worthless the next week if the buy support disappears. Maybe 5% of the top 1000 coins will have atleast 50% of their marketcap in 5 years.

[abduljacklu]

Probably lesss than 100 the coins that has some use or has some good working product/services,i agree these shit project should be remove to our market so that there will be less scams in our environment,a lot of people are still scared about these shitcoins that is why most of the new folks are getting scammed by these coins.

[JanCoppens]

I think we are in a bubble regarding the high number of existing coins (more than 1500 on coinmarketcap alone, then there are tons
of other coin NOT on coinmarketcap)...so I think this number will continue to grow during 2018 and then there will be a huge disappearing
of many many projects/coin. I don't think the total market cap will be lower, though...so BTC and other main coins (ETH, XMR) will see higher and higher
market caps at the expense of other minor coins

I do agree, after a couple of years, I believe every sector will see its "winners", and all the others will probably disappear or be negligible.

Well it's very hard to predict right now how many will stand last but I am for sure those altcoins who had strong fundamentals will stay because people will support their technology and by 2020 those shitcoin that has no used in our world will starting to disappear.

[Bagorrr]

I think an effective crypto portfolio should consist of 5-10 coins/tokens. Otherwise you lack of time to reach all updates and sell or buy instruments in time

[Thefrolly]

I don't think more than 10% of coins will survive past few years. If you look at ICOs from last year than 47% of them failed, which is a high percentage. With that rate only the coins that are continuously innovating are going to survive.

[george_hured]

Quite a difficult question. I think that if we are talking directly about the continuation of the development of coins, then I think that such rapid development will cease only after the regulator intervenes, in general, this is exactly what is happening today.

[Crypto_lion]

I think that less than 10 percent of coins will survive in about two years time. Even Vitalik himself said that 98 percent of ico that are happening will fail.

[aoluain]

From the general trend of this thread we can agree that the vast majority
of the stated 1524 coins well be rendered useless over time and there will
be an accepted few which will survive over time, which ones they will be is
anyones guess other than BTC.

It may very well be BITCOIN, ETHEREUM, DASH, LITECOIN and other old
Coins or it could be new kids on the block.

[imperatron]

I think only the coins with a great infrastructure will survive in the future. We are in these times right now where everybody tries to set up its own coin and thats a big problem. A lot of unprofessional guys trying their luck...

My question is this, once these coins have to start going through a more stringent vetting process to be accepted to market's how many coins do you think will last, and do you think this is something that will gain adoption in the near future?

The more stringent vetting process will make it such that only legitimate ICOs get funding and are viewed as real projects which will happen, but at the same time you will have numerous amounts of joke projects or launching coins just for the sake of it. Those coins and projects will be known as the "joke" ones and they won't get any funding or be taken seriously. I am okay with both things happening in the market, as long as there is a distinction between the two. The main thing we need from all this is protecting investors, and ridding the industry of scams it is that simple.

I don't think more than 10% of coins will survive past few years. If you look at ICOs from last year than 47% of them failed, which is a high percentage. With that rate only the coins that are continuously innovating are going to survive.

10% is still too high of a number for me, I was thinking in between 2-5% of the projects currently. That means my range of projects I think that should exist beyond this year is 30-75, however there will be tons of smaller market coins which means the # of coins will be infinite. The number of projects that are worthwhile will be under 100, but the # of actual coins out there in existence? I believe that number will be ever growing and one day will surpass hundreds of thousands if not a million coins. They won't be for the global economy, but rather there will be coins based off local book groups, and board game clubs, and whatever else. The limits are endless, but the progression will be an interesting one for sure.

[Minor Miner]

I think that only the most persistent coins will survive in the distant future. Most of the coins are created for speculation. Only strong projects with real and popular products will survive. Therefore we must invest in these coins now. Plus I guess crypto money (and smart securities) have much more chances to survive than utility tokens.

[arunakiran]

In coming days most of the coins will drain off in time, only coins will survive whose have best project, team and good infara. These coin will survive and it will make good profits in future.
