I think around 10-12 currencies are better that having 674 different currencies and it will not threaten the existence of crypto currency world. Since the day I have entered in to the world of crypto currencies, I was shocked to see the numbers of available currencies. According to Coinmarketcap website, we now have 674 crypto currencies of various types which is more than the numbers of fiat. Every now and then I am seeing a new currency is being introduced. I think this way we are harming the security of crypto currency sector. If this continues, government will have to intervene someday just to stop the free distribution of money (power) in to the society. Also I see that the total crypto currency market size is 6,823,585,068 usd as per the above mentioned website and this huge amount of money is getting divided among these 674 currencies. The more people are moving to newer currencies, the lesser amount of money is getting circulated in to the established crypto currency trading, which in turn is decreasing the price of those currencies.

There are only a few which can be seen as reputable crypto currencies.
Others will die in the near future.
I too do think same. That is the reason I am personally using only one Crypto Currency. That is bitcoin. But in my opinion also, most of them will never live long. Bitcoin is first and most trusted and also best crypto currency. Others will die in the near future.

I think we only really need one and one would be best in my opinion especially if we want some sort of global currency, but I believe in the free market. I believe in bitcoin as well but if something obviously better comes along that will probably get adopted. I think having all these niche coins for stupid shit is pointless and they'll likely die off over time anyway once people realize there's no real use for them so one will ed up prevailing over all (arguably bitcoin has done that already).

it is obviously lways good to have multiple choices.
it would be like having paypal and another payment processor. or like different banks with different names.
as long as they all do similar things but with different perks, there should be multiple alternative to bitcoin too.

To be honest you can barely call this a choice.
Most coins aren't even working, they don't have a wallet or anything. They just exist.
Lot's of coins are released just for early investors, the code is published but nothing more! And they sometimes get a hell out of money from it xD

i think it is good to have all these alternative cryptos, because it is an open source technology and everybody can copy and change the code to improve it.
besides as long as a new altcoin is created and introduces a new feature even so small, i think it is helping the technology go forward. and eventually all the bad ones would be forgotten and the good altcoins will remain and grow out to be big.

I saw that people created a lot of fake crypto to earn money by actions of potential users. They give crypto for example for likes on Facebook but it will have never been valuable 
It's not fake, it's useless.
They're not fake as they do work. It's just that no one use them ^^

In reality, most of alternative crypto currencies have no real use and are only being created and extremely hyped by the creators to increase their wealth and they usually fall after that (pump & dump).
Exactly, many of them are just created with the thought that they may get a value in the market but they don't, and then they just start dying because no one uses them.

Competition is good when things are actually improved on and not just another pump and dump scammer throwing out a shit coin. In my humble opinion there is room for the top ten what bring something new to the game, everything else will fade out when the scammers have cashed in their bags.

In my opinion, a good cryptocurrency is well designed to serve one specific purpose.
In the end there will be plenty of different successful coins, each of them designed to work great for their purpose.

Well, I think the more we have people thinking about digital currency, the better. Obviously only a few coins will survive, and what dictates which one will survive is how useful and innovative it is.

Hi Guys, since the day I have entered in to the world of crypto currencies, I was shocked to see the numbers of available currencies.
According to Coinmarketcap website, we now have 674 crypto currencies of various types which is more than the numbers of fiat.
Every now and then I am seeing a new currency is being introduced. I think this way we are harming the security of crypto currency sector. If this continues, government will have to intervene someday just to stop the free distribution of money (power) in to the society.
Also I see that the total crypto currency market size is 6,823,585,068 usd as per the above mentioned website and this huge amount of money is getting divided among these 674 currencies. The more people are moving to newer currencies, the lesser amount of money is getting circulated in to the established crypto currency trading, which in turn is decreasing the price of those currencies.
I think around 10-12 currencies are better that having 674 different currencies and it will not threaten the existence of crypto currency world.
What do you guys think?

Are so many species good for this planet?
Some coins are clones, scams, dead, worthless, jokes, ... and some bring inovation, great new features, some do good research.
The best "10-12" have the biggest communities, they are talked about most... but without the other many coins, some of these "10-12" would have never existed.
As simple as that.
All have the right to exist. The fittest ones will prevail.

there is infact a very few good alt coins out there, the rest are useless and mere copy cats.most of the coins will fade away at some point. good or bad cannot be judged just like that only time can give a solid answer
