Hopefully none with the possible exception of Litecoin as it is the only true alt.
There is no need for any more altcoins.
Topic: How many Alts do you expect to survive long term? - page 4. (Read 3883 times)
Doge, ETH, Monero will survive long term, regarding Litecoin - hard to predict. Most probably from all altcoins will survive 5 - 6, not more, because all altcoin market is not so large, like Bitcoin market. 
I expect more than 10 alt coins can survive for a long term, but the most perfect amount according to me is 5 alt coins, too many coins will weaken all the alt coin, we need a strong coin who can become bitcoin rival and coin that can attract big company to use
I can't defining who the alts can be a live for a long term in the middle of the competition, some time the coin is in my opinion is so silly and the ending he can still alive for a long time comparing with the promising coin just get short age in their coin. so I can't determine who the longterm coin in this time. 
everyone has supported a lot of coins and tokens and for me for instance have supported more than 10 coins. but i suspect there will be a lot that will survive. More than 50 perhaps, each of these coins has specific purpose and so the rest will stay forever so long as the dev wants it alive and wants money of course.
All these new altcoins that keep popping up will only hurt crypto currencies in the long run. How many people you think going to keep investing in new alts that rip them off. There is about 200 pages in the alternate ann section. This is going to hurt Bitcoins too. But what do I know, I am a newbie.

Altcoins with hefty funds will continue to exist, I can see 20-30 of them will survive.
much coin can survive and long term
1 ethereum
2 monero
3 dogecoin
4 litecoin
and newcomer coin
1 Icn iconomi coin
2 antshare coin
Ethereum gives a real evidence be a long term coin, and the hacking cases are not giving an impact for the coin and the price is always kept in their chairs. and be the best coin after bitcoin the mother of the coin.... 1 ethereum
2 monero
3 dogecoin
4 litecoin
and newcomer coin
1 Icn iconomi coin
2 antshare coin

I expect 10-20 Alts will survive long term.
Any examples? 5 minimum

Define "survive" & "long term"
Survive as in traded for profit on centralized exchanges like Mintpal or McxNOW or Cryptsy ?

I tried in the first post:

To preface this, I'd define "survive" as being at least a few years old, holding steady or rising in value and having no indication of imminent end of the project/blockchain.

About that number, yes.
Believe at the end there will be a dozen of coins left. Those who invest in Development will survive the market.
Currently there are two serious candidates:
Bitcoin
Gulden
I've never heard of gulden.
what makes you think alts are gonna consolidate? I think it's gonna get ever more insane. there's too much temptation to make money out of nothing and too many stupid people who fall for it. there are billions more who are currently untapped.
I don't expect the new alts boom to slow down anytime soon, but I think it will at some point. My reasoning is this: let's assume, as said before, mass adoption at some point. As soon as the masses start to use blockchain technology, the network effect that is keeping the big coins big at the moment is going to multiply its strength, so much in fact, that new alt projects just won't have any chance, because nobody is going to take them seriously. Sure, some gamblers are going to buy in and there will be yet another bitcoin competitor, as long as bitcoin exists. Do you know how many "facebook contenders" there are? I don't either, but all of them have no chance at the moment. Not because they are worse, some may even have better technology, but people already have facebook. To create something, that is challenging facebooks standing, you'd need to create something that is not just a bit, but way more interesting.

I think we're gonna be surprised how many stick around. I really didn't think most of the stuff that went crazy in 2013 would still be here but it is. the speculative fringe is never ever going away now so I think they'll survive on the margins and keep feeding themselves bullshit pumps.
Yes this is my thoughts on it too. Seems that most never die totally and the ones that seem too can be brought back at anytime?

Other on my shortlist, but to my opinion there is not much activities in their community:
Vcash
Bitcoindark
Dash
Ato the end, blockchain payments will stay and grow.
Ethereum is for sure the one is is unsinkable. Given all what it resisted to, I see no doom for them, ever.
