The only place I think altcoins has a future in is gambling, normal gambling but first and foremost e-betting.I can not see how it will take over from normal currency's in the world of buying or selling any other goods then btc. The main reason I think this is that nobody wants to be that guy that bought two pizzas for 10000 btc 5 years from now, so i cant really see what else it has a real future in. But that is only my opinion, What do you guys think?
Well, as of the moment, what you have said are true. Many people are using Altcoins for the sake of playing gambling, e-betting and other sorts of blockchain games possible to involve the usage of cryptocurrencies. But that was not the main reason why Altcoins are being made or created. Most Altcoins that are existing in the cryptocurrency market comes from projects which are mainly made from ideas of generating modern solutions to the problems our society are facing in which they see cryptocurrency can provide solution to those problems making a more convenient environment because the ideas of projects are to provide convenience on the daily life basis of people by using cryptocurrencies. But since Altcoins are being undervalued, they are being used into ways they are not supposed to be used or far away from the reason why they were created. Maybe in the near future when the whole world have already adapted the usage of cryptocurrencies, Altcoins will already make their roles relevant as well as their real usage.
