Almost all(in fact, all) of the alt-coins out there are going to be a waste of time.  They're being created to take advantage of people who get super excited about different things and then get pumped and dumped.

Most alt coins are completely pointless and just poor replicas of what's already out there with little to no improvement.

Those alt coins(junkcoins) are spreading the investment of bitcoin and can't be good for crypto as a whole, they will also destroy people's trust of cryptocurrencies after their crash and run and disapparation. only their "developers" or "early adopters team" will get rich quick by taking your money away.

Bitcoin has a limit of only 21 million, however with all these so called "alt coins", the total number of crypto is in fact unlimited and make all cryptocurrencies end up into a ponzi scheme(only detract from people's perceived value of Bitcoin and the legitimacy of cryptos in general)

Stop and Ban those alt coins copycats now, let the money flow back to the bitcoin!

Go try ban them lol, that is exactly why cryptocurrencies works: no one can ban them

Don't worry Opie, the market gets to decide this not you. 

As much as I hate these crap and scamcoins, we shouldn't try to suppress them. This freedom is what cryptos are all about. The greater public aren't ever going to take Dogecoin or Coinye coin seriously so it's irrelevant. Just ignore them if you don't like or agree with them.

They are all denominated in Bitcoin.  People recognize them as a means to possibly get more BTC.  I don't view them as a threat.

LoLz Open Source brother.... U can STOP them and EVERYONE want Satoshi's balance in their account.

I think that the alt-coins actually take advantage of people new to cryptocurrency. I remember clearly thinking to myself when I first got into this, 'Bitcoin is pretty expensive and it's not profitable to mine it on my laptop, how about another alt'. This is when newbies look at alternatives and get caught up in the bull of it all. I nearly got swept away in Coinye.

Holy Crap! There are so many people upset at a certain coin.

Lol. Not at all. I believe it will be big for those who value privacy and anonymity.

Yeah, a lot of newbs just want to feel like they're a part of the start of something. A lot of their logic is based entirely on the fact that they think they're 'going to the moon' just because Bitcoin did. They think if they hoard these millions of coins long enough they'll sell them as soon as they hit a dollar and become millionaires, but that's never gonna happen when you've got a marketcap of billions.
