The thread is a bit old but I just wanted to highlight the current situation. The altcoins are booming now at the beginning of 2018. It is great time to join the game.
I also agree that in this year 2018 the market of altcoyins will flourish. Altkoins in general were underestimated compared to bitcoin. The last sharp increase in the price of bitcoins to $ 20,000 last month showed that bitcoin is inflated as a bubble and, in view of its transaction problems, investors began to invest their funds not in bitcoin, but in altcoyins, and especially in ethereum. 
Topic: Are altcoins dead? (Read 1408 times)
alts are more alive than ever, btc dominance is even lower than in may 2017 when alts were booming, this year will be huge for us, there will be the mass adoption, everyone is starting to know cryptos but for most btc is too expensive so they will go to als because of their low price attracted by easy gains. now it would be more realistic a 10x on a alt than 10x on btc or eth
Altcoins are alive and kicking 
They will push the whole crypto scene/world way further I believe!

i suppose this thread was created as a joke, or creator of this thread spoke too soon, altcoins now are stronger than ever before

yeah me too. i didnt agree to op when he says altcoin are dead because as i can see majority of altcoins and tokens are now pumping and increasing. 2018 is indeed the best time to start for altcoins, not just altcoins but also in bitcoin because bitcoin is also recovering and now starting to hike again to reach its new all time high. although we may still prepare and not to be confident all because sooner or later they can still unexpected to drop due to some factors that may affect them.
In other words bitcoin and alternative coins circulation will remain as one and possible that bitcoin value will become more expensive in the market.

Alt are more alive then ever. But it will end soon. It is impossible such bullish market to continue
In my opinion if their system or and project good, i am sure altcoins will not stop and will not die.
Altcoins existence are to support Bitcoin. We can take an example Ethereum where using same blockchain technology as bitcoin and decentralised. Ethereum that runs ‘smart contracts’, which means it can facilitate the exchange of money, content, property, shares, or anything of value.Another, Dash coins which has been popular since 2014 and been accepted on some merchant https://www.dash.org/merchants.
That's why altcoin's will not dead and will still live to supporting Bitcoin.

yup the bitcoin has fallen from 80% market cap to 40% this year certainly points to alt coins demise 
Altcoins that have real world application like ether, miota, ltc, ripple, golem etc will survive.

They are much alive and continuously kicking and many of them had recent price surges like ethereum, litecoin, ripple, cardano, tron and many others. Many investors are looking for potential altcoins that will seen to perform well in the future. Some coins might die but majority of them will continue to be alive.
haha... look at the marketcap now. Over $700 billion. and you say it dies? lolz... do not waste your time to ask some questions like that. If you do not trust the crypto, you can not take part in. Otherwise, let research and trade.
Nope and never be. Some of altcoins in 2020 will be dead but not all espcially those on the top 20.
altcoin will not die, nor will it likely to happen. lots of altcoin in the market and of course a lot of people who invest in altcoin. then from it to altcoin dead earnest will not likely to occur.
Altcoins are not dead at all. In fact they are just beginning. More and more people are becoming aware of not only Bitcoin but altcoins as well. I think we can expect more growth in alts this year,
The 2x fork is over and not a drop of money has come in to altcoins, the market is dead.
Dont be ridiculous it takes more than that stop all the altcoins to be invested with. Investors come and go. ETH has good impact on all altcoins. So it might not be the right time for now. Jump to:
