Crypto market won't die, but it grows more than 200% scams. All here what I see is scammers who leading ICO's and most of them here bought or hacked legendary accounts for running ICO.
I also see the ICO's say Ecogreen, solar energy, but why don't these guys invest their own real money instead of collecting money.
These scammers learn't a lot in 2017 and they reuse more power to scam people again in 2018.
Without scammers it's hard to run a legit company.

Another stats 99% of the VC funded startups fail 
Bless the lord that now anyone has a chance on gaining on the 1% which otherwise always was reserved for the VCs or HNIs.

It's more like saying Bitcoin will be worthless at any point of time in the future. Yeah, it's true that more and more ICOs are popping up almost everyday. Some of it are legit, some are scam, others are just fit to what we called start-up which is only good from the start, and others also remains through times so with that being said, i think only half of those will not survived in my humblest opinion.
Maybe yes maybe no, let's see.
major coin still survive but shitcoin will gone. As long as people have suitable Ideas and people to back them crypto will survive

Hard to say where we are going to be % wise. We will continue to see creativity and people's needs combining for the birth of many more cryptocurrencies. Can't wait for next year....
Since the market cap is now over 500 billion, does this mean all the money will move towards the 5% of coins that will survive 
I disagree with you. The figure is too high, I will give it 50%.
This is a scary fortell. I have different view point.
I think that we are just in the very first step with the cryptos and there is long way behind to bring the crypto into actual applying in life.
For examples, just only not remarkable number of stores accept BTC and it is only in some developed country. and that is just for BTC - the first cryptos.
From what I see, there is a very long way: to the alternatives be accepted....and those altcoins are accepted in remote areas...that is really long way. Imagine, when you go to Asia to travel and can buy a cup of coffee there with an alt.
So, 2018 should be a good year for cryptos

In my opinion just some cryptocurrency will loss the value and not survive , not 95% but i think only 5% because the volume of marketcap incerasing many time and i believe next year 2018 the volume and the market cap bigger than this year because more people from around the world will jump in to cryptocurrency industry.
Did any of you know that Ethereum is controlled by Goldman Sachs, or was initially when it was being launched? Do some heavy research, sure Ethereum is legit, but the scheme behind it is not, Vitalik the greatest scam artist to ever speak on BTT, because he has everyone's trust for something "great."
Ethereum itself (as a piece of tech) is not bad or a scam, But the powers behind the coin have created a mass illusion for all you sheep.

surely many are disappointed if 95% crypto can not survive in 2018 because surely many who have held it even for a long time
I dont really agree, that the 95% of cryptocurrenciess will not survive in 2018 that is really imppssible to happen, eventhough there are many cryptocurrencies that has no a bright future, there are still many crptocurrencies that has a bright future, and maybe 30% will not survive and the rest 70% of cryptocurrencies will survive.
Seems like your prediction is wrong alts are recovering from months of being dumps,but it is really possible that the alts wont have any value if the BTC keeps pumping for the next months.
Over the past few years, about $ 3 billion has been invested in the ICO. This indicates their large number, which in this case was at the expense of the quality of the announced projects. Many sought not to develop good ideas, but simply to earn a decent multi-million dollar amount of money or were generally openly fraudulent. As a result, the created tokens are mostly useless and immediately depreciate when they enter the stock exchanges. This state of affairs can save only the regulation of ICO by various state and non-state bodies.
About 4 years ago I've mined about 80 new altcoins shortly after they were announced here.
I've gone through the wallets and the statistics of survivability are:
- Only one of them took up nicely (DASH) and is now valuable.
- About 8% of them sort of survived and gained some small value (not much though ...)
- about 40% of them are alive, but their value is dwindling. Probably they will die off sooner or later
- The rest (about 50%) are now dead.
Note that then and now is a bit different (there were no Scrypt ASICs, less miners in general, more traditional PoW coins and less premine/PoS/ICOs), so as the market is a bit saturated, I guess survivability of a coin born today would be probably worse than 4 years ago, unless the coin would now come with some killer feature or some form of mass advertising itself.

I think this ratio will be in the future. Everything depends on the developers of the cryptocurrency. If they have serious intentions, then their cryptocurrency will develop. 
I do not think that their will be 95% of crypto shutting down in 2018. People look at btc and think the market is in an advanced stage. I do not feel that to be true. There will be more cases like confido. I am still very bullish on all projects with real use cases and there is plenty of those projects. For the pure currency coins there might be an oversupply at some stage.

A year or so will cause most coins to die out. There should be more coins that will take their spot. This is how Cryptocurrency works.
95% of Cryptocurrencies will not survive in 2018 is not a small thing which you are defined in your post it look like a theory for crypto market. Apart from theory we should be practically approach also I agreed there is lot of on paper cryptocoin and ICO. Because of that we cannot say 95% of cryptocurrencies will out my assumsion is may be from 10% to 25% is possible.
This will likely happen, just look back at the previous years top altcoins they are irrelevant now.
I think 5% is still would be a large number considering how many ICO's are coming every day !
but wow 95% might be a bit too high. Failure rate would be high but I think less than 95 %
wish someone had stats from ICO's that started in the beginning of 2017 or end of 2016.
I would like to hear input form someone who has been participating in ICo's for a year or 2

A bit over exaggerated but just gotta know when to get out! Don't get too greedy and don't be to quick to sell
