Most of the altcons will grow only when bitcoin grows. In the end of march there will be tokens burned by several projects. This will definitely impect on the price
Not all of them will only grow when btc grows. Some coins are kind of resistant to market falls or at least does not fall so much. I think when most ICO start delivering their product and tokens/coins can be used to pay for services/goods and people actually start using them - we will see *hopefully) separation from bitcoin. Or at least bonding with it will not be so tight.
I also feel like the value of tokens will rise as soon as projects start releasing real-world applications, something tangible and useful, something that has a purpose and daily usage. I would like to see App Store or Google Play Store full of blockchain-related apps and every smartphone having token-based apps, startups taking down these massive companies that are not switching to this new technology: new Uber, new Facebook, new Netflix, new fast food delivery system that's peer-to-peer and uses cryptocurrency to make transactions and does promotions giving back tokens to their users. If we do not crash and finally see apps rolling out this year, the world will seem like a right place to live.
I am personally waiting for this fitness-based project that promised to roll out a sports app that will reward you tokens for completing exercises and losing bad lifestyle, habits, weight. Then you will be able to change acquired tokens to Nike apparel, shoes, gear etc. I am currently trying to get rid of my chronic pot habit as it slowly makes me a retarded person. Hope Lympo team will get me back on the right path:)
