Topic: Is the altcoin era over ? (Read 4638 times)

I think altcoin era is not going to be gone/over soon thats because many people are depending on alt coin to earn bitcoins but in my opinion I think there might be some of the altcoin thats going to hit bottom rock and go extinct but there are also thats trying to climb in the market place. So it really depends on the altcoin like ETH , LTC , or DASH are the highest altcoin right now but there are some new ones coming too. So i don't took altcoin era will be over soon. 

Alt coin will never over, in the future when bitcoin is used by all people, some people will turn to alt coin and this year the alt coins really showing some great improvement, I see great future for crypto currencies

I think you're right, In addition, after observing carefully there are some that seem to continue to be successful similar to its predecessor maybe.

I think that altcoins will maybe become illegallin many countries in the all over the world because so many illegal scam altcoins which have admin which run away so fast when price comed to size which he wants.

Every time bitcoin price goes up,Altcoin price fall leading people to believe Altcoin are dead but this is not the case.
Altcoin will be there as long as bitcoin is there.

This days i saw some coiins that they growed about 90% in one day so i think that maybe it is but i am not really sure because i am not really some kind of expert but this means for me that era of altcoins is over what is bad for us.

Altcoin era turned into ICO era. A lot of crowdfunding happen lately and they fund some serious money over here. I think this industry will grow day by day, sometimes it changes money funding methods but in the end market is growing. 2-3 years ago we talked about new altcoins, now we're talking about new ICO's. Every new ICO show us different angle of how to use cryptocurrencies in regular life. It's healthy to have new innovative ideas. It's good for Bitcoin, too.

I think the altcoins era is far from over, there are many cryptocurrencies that have improvements that would be very difficult to implement in Bitcoin. Even if Bitcoin activates segwit and projects start to be developed in Bitcoin sidechains, it will take some time for Bitcoin to bring the risk of making all other cryptocurrencies obsolete.

But they're so blindly to see it at coinmarketcap.com how the result of altcoin is always growing every time.

In this month some of the projects were appearing such as melon port and taas and those seems the potential project in the future. At least they have same vision.

you say that but look at trumpcoin! people still buy into these coins knowing they will never deliver any software or fulfil their whitepapers.

Altcoins r the future though. Bitcoin is so dated .. .. if the tech didnt evolve we would still be driving around in the original henry ford cars . .

Altcoin era is not over, shitcoin era is over. It ended with the ico period. These were the last coins to get the crowds help. From now on I feel like any coin will have to show some progress in order to gain the respect it demands.

Adoption is everything, innovation is good to have, but only if it drives ADOPTION!!!

Unless there is mass adoption by Joe & Jane consumers that can use the cryptocurrency at WalMart or some local point of sale terminal to buy stuff, there will be no adoption of any crypto currency and that even includes bitcoin the mother of all the altcoins.  If the Old Farts like me cannot use a debit card to pull crypto directly from my crypto coin wallet, without going thru a 3rd party payment processor, such as VISA I may as well just use fiat currency.

And the real issue is the blockchain crypto's cannot do direct payments from a debit card, because they have to read the entire chain to get payment confirmations.  Thus the elusive mass adoption will not ever be available to a blockchain oriented crypto currency.

----------------------
This is from a Reddit post on bitcoin adoption, that I read this morning... the numbers seem about right, but the post was from a year ago.

Bitcoiners tend to inflate the userbase.
What we know since Mt.Gox, is odds are exchanges are faking trade volumes.
We know twitter followers are up to 90% fake for bitcoin related activity.

What you should take from this...
Stay away from bitcoiners as they will lie about anything and everything to increase the value.

Estimates based on calculation and observation:

Total people with bitcoin 200,000-400,000
Total daily active bitcoiners 3000
People who own up to 90% of all bitcoins <500
It has been confirmed under 50 users own a quarter or more.
Roger Ver owns an estimated 4% of non-lost bitcoins. Satoshi 10-15%.

So, the bottom line is that bitcoin is not a global currency that is even remotely distributed in an equitable manner... and with the centralized miners in China it is even worse... imho

What a crock of fucking shit.  

You all spew idealism and a feigned interest in "tech" chanting innovation etc.
Problem is you are all 100% full of complete doge shit.

All of you showed up here to pump & dump Altcoins for profits to get your hands on Bitcoin.

..morphing the scene into a massive digital token pyramid scheme machine.

You show up here and caw like crows about having ooooooooooooooooooooh so much fucking integrity
then pop over to Poloniex to trade the latest hyped up shitcoin bullshit for ROI'z.

This forum is LyingForCashCoinPonzi.org

Cry FUD and cash out...............

Will it continue ? Yeah.. just as it is now.. accomplishing nothing.
No altcoin has done a fraction of what Bitcoin has yet.

You all parade around what ever is popular as the next big thing chanting "one day".. while not lifting a finger to get them adopted.
Then you vanish when it's not popular anymore.
Simply because you had bags.. and then unloaded them.

Will it continue ?
Of course it will.

The Pyramid scheme machine scene will roll on with new entries at the bottom of the pyramid.

Crypto personified in 1 picture..

The altcoin era will never be over unless bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrency fails. Otherwise, there will be a new " batch " of altcoins created. Most of the altcoins will fail with only a small percentage of them surviving in future. It is a good chance to buy cheap coins when the price of altcoins drop.

I personally believe it is not and new, better innovations are yet to come.

is this a joke? altcoins over? altcoins have been steadily increasing and gaining overall marketcap for years. Yes we have our dips, but each year we end up with an extra few million on the altcoin-wide cap.

surely the new waves of scam after scam and copy shitcoin after one another is killing the altcoins and making all of them look terrible as a group but at the same time, that is not all there is to altcoins. there are still good ones out there, although hard to find and sometimes you get even disappointed in those coins too.
but there is still hope, and that is why i say the era is not yet over.

I can say its over as altcoins are used as a cheap source for crowd funding to run these ponzi schemes and very few devs have shown commitment for their altcoins which in the end don't get the required investment as we have lost confidence in them!

Of course not yet, there are a lot of alt coins that gave profit to user from trading, a lot of alt coins just not popular enough that is why the price become low, some of the coin offered a great innovation, but the trust for alt coin is very low due to a lot of scammed attempt

The era of the altcoin will be starting if the altcoin will be accepting on the common marketplace.  You're right, altcoin era hasn't started yet. Too many the fool newbies wants to make his own coin for money without skill and experience. 
The scam ico has told an amateur about the fuckin morals to build your shitcoin for money.
