If you want to have good altcoin then think of an altcoin with a purpose. Keep in mind - Bitcoin is the father of all crypto, but:

Ethereum is kinda unique because is that it is a platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications.
Dogecoin and Litecoin are two different digital currencies that are mostly used for low-value, fast confirming transactions.
Dash and Monero, Zcash - main selling point is better privacy than Bitcoin and confidential transaction.

The biggest threat to altocin success is lack of purpose and utility, everything else can be earned.

Hi all. I just wanted to what people feel are some of the biggest threats to the success of altcoins. Not specific about any one coin, but at a more macro level for the market.

I would say that, in my opinion, the two biggest threat to the success of alt coins at the moment are:

1. Credibility
2. Adoption

I think credibility can be a catalyst for increasing adoption, but no matter how credible the market becomes, if people don't use the technologies or get involved then altcoins will forever be a niche trend.
