Do we have too many alt coins? Of course we do, but that is not going to stop the greedy from preying on the community.
It's interesting that this topic was created on May 29, 2013 but the question is still valid. Actually it's more "valid" now, having too many altcoins.
I think personally we have to many alt coins and there is not point for so many. But there's nothing we can really do about it unfortunately.
No, you can never have too many "alt" coins. You can have too many useless coins which in fact, we probably do have today. I just saw a guy advertising that for as little as .3 BTC he'd generate a new algo coin (X11 I think). So this means that for as little as around $200 you can start up your own little alt coin. Really, it's about the same for businesses. But this is a publicly traded entity. As soon as people start mining the new coin (that may have costed $200 or less to start) there is value being generated because the ledger is being built. The more that coin gets traded the more that ledger grows and again the value goes up.
The problem is with coins that have no clout but for some reason have value. Coins that are not integrated to a business or some sort of goods/services exchange but still have "hyped" value are a problem.
As you get into the smaller coins, look at what they are actually doing. Doge coin is so frigging cool because they are in the headlines every now and then for charitable goods. I totally respect Doge because of that.. and it makes me laugh
my 2-cents

Yes, and 99% of them unnecessary 
That's an understatement. 99.9% of them are unesessary
. They're only ever made with one thing in mind and that's for the devs to get rich quick. People should just leave them alone and they'd die off.99.9% sounds too high to me.
I can think of at least 4 innovative coins like litecoin, namecoin, peercoin and darkcoin within a minute, but I don't think there are 4000 altcoins out there.
We just have 2 altcoin, legitcoin and scamcoin.
But, most of altcoin is scam LOL

We have way more than too many altcoins. 1 year before we already had too many altcoins, now things are out of control. I only use Monero but there are thousands of altcoins out here.
So you hold an altcoin but complain about altcoins? You'd better work on your logic in that post.
Ok, that's a cool ass map. But damn, 52 in one month!!! This shit has got to stop!
As long as there are new users driven by greed who will listen to some raving lunatic they don't know talking about how Buttcoin is going to be the next Bitcoin then there will be pump and dumps. They steal money that should have been invested into reasonable coins - ones where the devs have credibility and are actually working towards a goal.
Sadly this is the truth.
Most of the people getting into those new coins understand the coins are likely made for pump and dumps, and they are expecting to get profits with the pump and dumps...

Yes we have too many of them, and many of them dying.... litecoin included, it never go up after bubble
Its ok to have too many alt, just need more innovation and not scam coin..
But no one can stop these scam coins because we have no authority or department for this

Some have good features but most of them (99%) are introduce for pump and dump so avoid all other coins and focus on BTC only
Well most of the altcoins are pump and dump schemes.. and there are people who like that, thats why some devs make a shitty alt.. got it into an exchange, dump it and repeat the process once again..

I believe there are too many alt coins right now. Most of them are completely unnecessary and have no purpose whatsoever.
