you need to check them out yourself and decide for yourself. from that coinmarketcap site that you already visited you can find the announcement topic of the coins and pay them a visit. see what features they offer and ask them what are their differences from other coins.
if you can check the code yourself then do it too.
but most of the times checking the features is enough. and long story short i agree with most others saying 99% of the altcoins are copycats.

According to coinmarketcap.com there are 668 coins on their site all trading. Do they all do something different or are there a lot of copy cats and if so, what do the 100% copycats have value?

In my opinion 90% are copycat,some developers are offering coin to clone for a fee and this is a brisk business here,what differ them from one another are their roadmap and how they are going to be used,only few coins are original in their algo.
we expect a unique project from all coins in existence but some simply just copy code and give their coins a different crypto name and have nothing to offer...except be a scam-coin
it actually is quite the opposite.
when you go deep into each of these altcoins you can see that majority of them are simple forks of other projects with nothing new. they just copy the code and give it a new name and voila you have a new coin!
and this has been getting worse these days. a new coin comes out and from that a lot of new coins spring out of nowhere and try to stick to the other one and get pumped!

Only one thing they have Unique. Background story, but in the end they want the same thing.
Maybe few have some unique features like mentioned in post above most are clones of clones of some coin, but other then this i dont think they can have anything unique anymore.

That's true they offer something interesting story come with the idea to replace the bitcoin. But mostly is just created for shitty pump and dump scheme and disappear soon from the scene and let people with huge bags.
No matter what alt-coins offers, Bitcoin can do it also but better.
depends on timing bro today BTC transaction can stuck for hours while Doge goes very smoothly
BTC need improve some shit and will be ok - today some alts are working better but those don't use 300 000tx/day but like 30 000/60 000 max for ETH while in ETH those trasactions are from daps it doesn't really transfer any real value mostly.

no the majority do not offer anything new, but few of them like ethereum, decred, monero and zcash offer something that bitcoin do not have, they are for a reason the best coins to mien and to hold that you can find among all the crap coins, ignore all the other as a good project they are there just to fee your btc wallet

There are 20 unique coins, 10 of those are very unique.
It would be really nice if all the cryptocurrencies would offer something different that would encourage investors to buy them, but in reality it's much more boring than that...

really
you've used bitcoin as a currency of late right
While you were searching them, did you saw those couns budget? There are only some altcoins which offer you something new and maybe unique, that was the main reason of creating altcoin, developed bitcoin. 98% of coins in market are simply copy. It's better to look ICO's and decide if they really can offer you ehat you want or not, also try and use reputable altcoins to understand what they can to offer you.

So on copycat coins why would they have value if there a 100% duplicate or clone of a coin. What would make somebody like yourself by a coin that's 100% clone
100% copycats may still have some value if they are not premined or not distributed through ICO. However there will be no any further development for this types of cryptos because developer team behind this crypto will not receive anything that can encourage them to deliver more.
On the other hand crypto projects that offer something different and are not copycats, can collect really huge amount of seed money through ICO which also ensures future development by those dev teams because of incentive they can get from each update they release.

Obviously not. 99% of coins do not offer anything that's worth holding above bitcoin. Some coins, offer some creative stuff, like Maidsafe, Byteball, Monero, Ethereum... but is yet to be seen if any of these have any realistic long term value.
For example, with sidechains, Bitcoin can do everything Ethereum can do (via Rootstock). What's the point of holding ETH then?
