eth already going well,ltc also same.
so I thing many altcoins have a good future.
but every altcoins gets a good future I don't think.


Except ether, the rest is like a trash. I know their price is high but we're in bullish market right now. After all this pump age is done, we will see all altcoins (except ethereum) on the ground like they're dying. Ethereum is the only usable one between them.
Ethereum has got an increased chance of making it better compared to the rest of the altcoins. Till the competence continue the altcoins too have a future, because the trading platform is successful just because of altcoins and their requirement is a must.

I believe Bitcoin has a future in long term. It proved itself in the past years and it is getting widely popular. It just has a transaction fee problem atm.

What about the altcoins? Who does use them for real? Will people use them in the future for real purpose?

I only have a hope for ethereum and litecoin, but not for the rest. I am not even sure for eth and ltc.

If bitcoin solves the reansaction fee and time problem, I doubt eth and ltc even have a future.

Altcoin also has future, even every coin has it. We can't say because they have little volume and never become number one coin it doesn't have future. I believe your opinion is just only seen their price action and that's fine. But unfortunately this is real market, everything could change in second. Don't forget money management for long term investment and good luck.

I hope this isn't taken the wrong way but Bitcoin kind of seems like HP of the early computer days.
Giant monolith - would never even consider going a different direction, etc etc.

There's always room to improve. Bitcoin has momentum sure, and sometimes that means everything in business. Sometimes there's an upset though.

Bitcoin is the safest bet, but sometimes it's fun to play some shit hands and either win big or lose your money. Such is life

There will only ever be 1 first coin.
Over coming that advantage alone is a massive hurdle for any up & coming ALT.

I also have to laugh at how you all seem to think some gimmick tacked onto BTC's code is going to beat Bitcoin.

It's the equivalent of putting a funny little hat on the pet rock.

..but hey who wants to buy a water filter ?

I've bought stuff with bitcoin before, and it's a complete waste of time IMO.  I'm not going to spend bitcoin, which has a chance of huge gains, when I can buy something with fiat, which has no potential for gains.  Bitcoin isn't made to be a currency, it's an investment.  But it certainly has a bright future as such.  That much should be obvious; just look at the passion the community has for it.  Altcoins?  Not so much.  Most of them are me-toos that just copy what bitcoin is, and I don't buy them.
Most Altcoins don’t really have a purpose other than to gamble with Bitcoin to see if it could make a bunch of Bitcoin or not. Sometimes there’s a few projects that show up and feature stores accepting an Altcoin in order to promote the coin though the price of that coin tanks and those store features fade.

Altcoins may have a purpose in the near future, I think that it depends on who wants to promote them.

We all know that Bitcoin has amfutire and many already used it as a lifetime investment. BTC price continue to Spike and even it's price continue to grow little by little by now. Etherium got some shots because even Microsoft is backing it up, litecoin is a very good coin, but I bet that moneros price will drow too. Altcoins by the way is just on an improving pace. There are many altcoins and I think third value will be determined on how good their coin is. If they have some potential and really promising system then why don't give them a shot?

Nope.. that is a lie.
Microsoft decided to permit people to add ETH to Azure services..
If you pay your bill.
That is highly misleading and decetful.

..that is not "backing" fuck all ..or "using" either.  Roll Eyes

Either you are THAT dumb or are acting like a predatory fraud to shill for the scam coin called Ethereum.

The same question was asked when bitcoin was new. We now know the answer to that. The same can be said about altcoins. But not all alt-coins will have the same future as bitcoin. If it is just a copy paste of bitcoins code, then it will be trash. If it does not offer something new or any added value, it will be trash. But if it has a unique characteristic that can be valuable, then I say that coin have a future.

Exactly. Like not all altcoins can survive in the crypto world, some are just for short term and when its lucky enough it till survive for a long term. I think it depends how the market is playing so it will not lose its value. We can't say what altcoins have the future but we all speculate from its market cap and community support. It will change over time but for sure some will survive.

There have been people who used to ask the same question about bitcoin too about a few years ago and see bitcoin is still here. I would say as long as bitcoin has a future altcoins too have a future. There may not have been an altcoin which has succeeded in delivering what was expected of it so far but the possibility of the development of an altcoin better than the existing ones cannot be denied. Even some of the existing altcoins are good ones and they have a future for sure.

I believe we are still in such early stages of the whole crypto currency topic that we will see another technology disruption at some point. When a new currency will come out which resolves the current crypto weaknesses and is more accessable for people like your little sister or your grandpa, I suppose the market will shift quite a bit.

This is becoming an interesting thread...Yes, altcoins have a future, a very bright future. It's a big world and the need for cryptocurrencies will only grow. Bitcoin will always be on top (or near the top), but in a diverse world you can expect there to be diverse demand for different cryptocurrencies (even if they are similar).

Competition is always good and consumers having a choice is good as well.


Hardly anyone believed in Bitcoin when it was introduced, many people called it a scam...people called Litecoin a copycat scam and attacked the creator...and look what they are now...and EVERYONE is jumping on the blockchain bandwagon.


Just thinking about how bitcoin has changed the world...I want to buy Satoshi Nakamoto a beer, make that a few beers!

90% of them in the nest 3 years we won't even talk about them, the life-cycle of technology now is very short and I expect a better tech to make them obsolete. From the remain 10% only 1% will get good working product with userbase, so anyone well positioned in these winners will thank his stars
