alt coins are probably the future they have time to evaluate the current system of Bitcoin and when/if it fails get to design their product around the vulnerabilities of Bitcoin I think you will appreciate the time given from the developers in the future.

The last time Bitcoin "failed" was the fork last year. The only crypto that gained any traction from that was Litecoin - the number 2 crypto. Of course that was last year and 800 new altcoins have been released since then, but only about 7 of the alts have any development or volume to put them anywhere close to litecoin, let alone Bitcoin.

more like 4k altcoin, hash been released, probably even more, this if we count every shit launched

Yup.
Those having the programming skills are free to make as many altcoins as they want, but the point I don't understand is why people invest in those shitcoins...

Progamming skills aren't even necessary anymore. There's a website on which you can easily build your own altcoins, if I recall correctly it costs only about 0.02 BTC

it was higher before, now is cheap because no one care about releasing garbage anymore

I'm not sure if any of the altcoins made this year are even interested in becoming viable vehicles of commerce.
I opened an altcoin store, and tried to help out the coins I favored, because they all want to be accepted.
Not because they want to spend them, but because it will strengthen the value to investors.
After accepting 10 varieties, in one month, the store has sold $3 in merchandise.
I'm seriously considering dumping them, and concentrating on btc, ltc , drk, and doge.

All the altcoins have done a huge job marketing Bitcoin while marketing their own coin since mostly you could only buy them with BTC's. I don't know numbers but 10-25% of all bitcoin volume may be linked to altcoins.

Yes. Please make it stop for crying out loud.

You cannot stop scammers from continually making new coins to fleece new money. What you can stop is the free money going to those scammers by educating people new to crypto to consider why they are throwing their money away. Take the fuel away from the fire...

Most of peoples invest in these just in greediness and some newbies invest because they have no idea what they are doing after losing money then they realize its shit

Yes. Few months ago there were some new alts that had decent launches and weren't scams. Those are still alive today and their prices vary - mostly because of pumps and dumps. It's hard to make something really revolutionary nowadays (it requires big efforts and manhours) to make your new coin any different than bunch of others. I say kill them all and just leave 15 well established coins (tops).

Again, the concept of (too) many is part of this tool of freedom. If you cannot grasp this, why bother continuing posting on this board?

99% of altcoins these days exists with the sole purpose in mind of their creators (and community) to bump and then extract BTC from the unsavy/speculators. Do not get fooled by false promises my friends.

Not only are they extracting BTC from fools, they are also dumping BTC for cash.

Not sure if anyone notice, every time there is a successful IPO or new coin, BTC market cap take a huge hit not long after. I am going to guess this is due the developers cashing out their btc.

You are right and as they cash out coins after few days new coin is not in frame and many newbies and investors lost huge money

Yup, and indeed some suspected the previous bitcoin price drop 5 days ago was due to the Ethereum devs dumping their IPO coins.
