Altcoins are very important for the cryptomarket because they create something like symbiosis with the help of Btc and this symbiosis help for the common raising.

Many people asking why there are a lot of altcoins, and they suggest limits the altcoin making should be done.

The reasons why I don't agree to limits the altcoin aside from the reason of decentralization.

Here are the few;
1.   The monopoly of market will be avoided.
2.   There is a competition of prices in the market  that can limit the price of the stellar cryptocurrency to overshoot.
3.   Altcoins can cause unpredictable fluctuation of prices in the market. Fluctuation of prices result revenue for the traders/investors.
4.   New and small investors/traders will be given a chance to trade in the market.
5.   There is a healthy circulation of money in the market because hoarding/holding will be prevented.
6.   Exchange site/market can gain also a suitable amount.
7.     Bounty campaign will be continued to progress. 

and yet the variety of upcoming coins is just incredible, it's like endless breeding of different spicies. but i like this one about avoiding the monopoly market, it is important indeed

You are right here at all. Altcoins play so important and significant roles in the cryptomarket's increasing and your position is very logic here. I support this one, of course.

I think the reason why we need new altcoin is because Bitcoin is not perfect, and altcoin with new technology could make up for the shortcomings of BTC. This is the reason for the existence of ETH and other altcoins.So what we need is a coin with new technology,not just new altcoin.

Competition plays a positive role, forcing project developers to create better products and new technologies. Also, technologies are developing and old technologies, should be replaced by new ones.

I'd change some points and say that "new traders should have a chance to get rekt and also scammed", lol. Seriously, I think that BTC just can't implement all features (for the network security reasons)

Atcoins serve a lot of purpose as what mentioned on this thread. If there’s no alts I think the price of BTC is unreachable and unbriddle. Alts conceal those doing. That why alts are important though there are many projects are failure.

One of the main reasons is that partially altcoins can realize that you cannot do in major projects. Because they affect the overall development of the crypto-markets in all countries.

I think maybe If there is no altcoin then bitcoin prices will become too expensive and so will the transaction costs will rise too high and the waiting time will get the day. And it will make the bitcoin unusable. So altcoin is very important if we need to use bitcoin. in the future.

I think the new altcoins and their tokens are just like shares of a companyy traded on stock exchange, as the time and technology has evolved blockchain technology is slowly taking over traditional markets, soon we will see real big businesses and companies tokenizing their shares too.

The reason is that behind any altcoin stands the unique idea and the project, and there are so many talented people who are bursting with the innovative decisions...that's why there are so many of them. Everything is easy

Yes it is the innovation which is the main key factor based on which altcoin outstands in the market as newer altcoins have new innovation which could be used in future to make life easier.

Limiting the market of crypto currencies is the same as limiting the stock market. After all, each alternative crypto currency is a project

Totally agree with you. In addition, that there are scammers is no reason to limit the altcoins market if we want a normal healthy market. "One does harm, and another bears the blame". Each one is responsible for his actions, and you must inform yourself well, and know what you invests in. And the market is the one that will put each project in its place.

Bitcoin, being the first in digital cryptocurrency is not perfect, it has flaws and it does not fit everyone's unique needs around the world. Altcoins gives the freedom and allows people to choose the best option for them and gives balance to these new digital money. These altcoins can implement changes much quicker and can take the risks of changing because the market cap is much smaller compared to bitcoin.

I can add a few more points:
1. Competition. No competition, no development.
2. Wide possibilities of introduction and experiment of various technologies. There can't be 1 universal coin.
3. Many coins can satisfy your different needs. Someone needs anonymity, someone on the contrary, transparency, the third - the speed of transactions.

The more altcoins in market is better, only problem that 80-90% of them are scam and will die in 1 year, so nobody will remember them and people will lose money.

Well, I don't agree with that statement that more Altcoins will die in the future because currently Altcoins are too few, I mean, there are only few of us are using Cryptocurrency other than earning through it.
The Crypto Market is still very small portion of financial globally and there's still a lot space.
What if all the people of the world will going to use Cryptocurrencies today, then there would be no single coin that would be valued less than 1 Euro or Dollar today because the actual circulating coin supply are very few than the quoted maximum supply of every Altcoins in the market today.

For me, in my own opinion the reasons why Altcoins are more important than Bitcoin, Ethereum and other Top Altcoins are their unique projects that is or will be useful in the future.
We can't deny that some tools and factors that seems we won't need today are will be useful in the future and some Altcoins are already in their developments on building better products that will soon offer variety of products and services in the future.
Like for Example for WePower and Envion. They are focusing right now on the free energy resources that people would love to use in the future and they're using Crypto coins to help out their funding on the developments and soon we will be able to access and use that free energy so that our world would become the better place.

In my opinion altcoins help to expand and shake up the cryptocurrency world. They also push the limits of technology that may have not been pushed with bitcoin alone.

Somehow Altcoins shake the market. but one thing for sure stellar coins/token could not abuse the price if there are a lot of options which these are the job of altcoins.
Yeah technically a developer will promote their altcoin out and its effects will also influence to the world of cryptocurrency itself. the more crypto will be more and more users cryptocurrency in the world. certainly the most profitable is bitcoin because almost all altcoin price refers to bitcoin prices. for myself more altcoin it will get better

Good points and list mate. That's true, many don't get how important altcoins are. It is true that many of them are considered trash coins that won't even see the light of day or scratch the surface, but that seeing beyond those, altcoins are important because they provide competition to big market assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum that helps in keeping the market active and vibrant. A market that is lopsided and is monopolized by only one player would not prosper in the end, having many assets to choose from gives people many options to do business, which in a way aids in expanding the market even more.

Yeah , but because of there's many coins some of these are not legit and it is the one sign that it's not good too.but for me, the reason why many altcoin are important because not all country accept bitcoin. So others will choose what coins they used in their country. Also, the price of bitcoin is very high so they made altcoins that have a low price to exact for billings and ampunt for investing

As much as important most of these Altcoins are owing to both highlighted views of yours and yet to be highlighted merits. We still need to be very much cautious because the emergence of these coins brought about shit ones where most Developers out of curiosity for market competitiveness acted below expected standardization especially after ICO, where at the end of the day, this coins are dumped by most holders. However, such coins involved falls short of importance.

Yes, I agree with your advantages from a large number of altcoins. However, there are disadvantages. If everyone received only profit, then only the fools would be against. However, there are many people who have lost some of their money, or almost all, or have not yet lost, but are waiting for a rise in prices.
Fluctuations of 50% or 75% up this is profit and joy. The same fluctuations only down - it's just bankruptcy and anger.

In all investment there's always a risk. In crytocurrency the risk is high but the profit is high as well that's why people are investing on crytocurrency.
For the altcoin I believe investors are wise enough to identify  which alt have a better future. Alt is useful in the market it serve as an equilibrium of  btc.

As for me, people themselves determine their value by investing in one or another alt. Yes, there is a very big competition among the leaders, even the shitcoins, but each coin has some special feature or difference from others, some that do not develop and die without support for a short time. So a normal healthy market, where for everyone there is a corner for action.

The more alternative coins - the more competitive the market of crypto-currencies. This allows you to buy more interesting coins at lower prices. This is important for bulls, but not interesting for bears

Nice dude. that's the reason altcoin why altcoin is important.  It's serve as a price equilibrium in the market.

Agreed,there will be a lot of manipulations if the altcoins are limited,most of the big players will dictate the trend in the market.Decentralized community needs to have a decentralized assets,altcoins is just like acting like shares in the market.

In any healthy ecosystem there is always competition and the best usually rises to the top. Many Bitcoin elitists believe that there should only be one cryptocurrency, but having other altcoins as an option would both spur on innovation, but also ensure that it truly is the best option out there. Having only one cryptocurrency as an option for the world would also give the network too much power and if the core developers made changes that the people didn’t agree with switching to another coin would be more difficult.

I like your view dude. True.  Altcoins give the traders/investors to practice their freedom of choice and will not leave you in a single option which very necessary in the market to stop excessive power of price's manipulations.   

which I can catch and I understand the possibility of altcoin many because many people who have started to understand the benefits of owning and making their own coin by having a team of developers and projects that are real and good coin will certainly be like any other coin.

In any healthy ecosystem there is always competition and the best usually rises to the top. Many Bitcoin elitists believe that there should only be one cryptocurrency, but having other altcoins as an option would both spur on innovation, but also ensure that it truly is the best option out there. Having only one cryptocurrency as an option for the world would also give the network too much power and if the core developers made changes that the people didn’t agree with switching to another coin would be more difficult.

In my opinion altcoins help to expand and shake up the cryptocurrency world. They also push the limits of technology that may have not been pushed with bitcoin alone.

Somehow Altcoins shake the market. but one thing for sure stellar coins/token could not abuse the price if there are a lot of options which these are the job of altcoins.

Many people asking why there are a lot of altcoins, and they suggest limits the altcoin making should be done.

The reasons why I don't agree to limits the altcoin aside from the reason of decentralization.

Here are the few;
1.   The monopoly of market will be avoided.
2.   There is a competition of prices in the market  that can limit the price of the stellar cryptocurrency to overshoot.
3.   Altcoins can cause unpredictable fluctuation of prices in the market. Fluctuation of prices result revenue for the traders/investors.
4.   New and small investors/traders will be given a chance to trade in the market.
5.   There is a healthy circulation of money in the market because hoarding/holding will be prevented.
6.   Exchange site/market can gain also a suitable amount.
7.     Bounty campaign will be continued to progress.

This is very important because cryptocurrencies are made in such a way that no one can actually monitor and control them. Its always up to the holder of what he/she will do with his digital assets and that's one reason I like cryptocurrencies.

What a brilliant counter- thread to ' too many ICO'  etc. People that believe there are to many altcoin are simply short sighted. The market value of cryptocurrency is still very small compare to market value of NYSE etc. We need as many altcoin as possible to remain competitive.

But in the case of "too many ICOs", doesn't that encourage more shitty/scammier ICOs? Since it's easier to go by unnoticed.

Possibly yes, but even there are limited number of new ICO there would still be a way for thieves to scam people. There are also already lots of ICO before that turned out to be scam like crazybet and project C, to name few. ICO is a good way of funding a project but also an easy way for culprits to make easy money.

Strongly agree that many of Altcoin's reasons for making the cryptocurrency market more dynamic are not monopolized by cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin or Ethereum Litecoin, and the entire market is less viable, making it harder for us to profit from it.

Yes dude. Competition always bring fortune. Developers will exert enough effort if there is no competition in the market. Market will not flourish as well if there no competition. 
in recent times, competition has nothing to do with it. many companies want to raise money and escape. that now it is no longer a healthy competition.

I agree with these reasons specially to the number 7. Cheesy ... But if you ask me, I also want to limit the altcoins population in some manner or reasons.

Here are some of the reasons why I agree to limit the altcoins.

1.  Many altcoins are having the same functionalities/features
2.  Some of the altcoins are SCAM
3.  Many altcoins today are abandoned by the developer
4.  Some of the new altcoins are very expensive (for me as a small time investor)
5.  Some of the exchange site don't allow small time altcoins to be trade
6.  My computer harddrive are now full because of so many local wallet of my altcoins collection Cheesy

To say the truth the increase in number of altcoins into the crypto space used to bother me a few months ago. The influx became a cause for concern as on daily basis more are listed on CMC. They were around 730 cryptos on CMC when I joined this forum in Jan 2017 but today that number has doubled. That isn't even the issue. The regulation is the issue. A lot of scams have been executed through this loose regulation and many devs have gone unpunished.


Many people asking why there are a lot of altcoins, and they suggest limits the altcoin making should be done.

3. Altcoins can cause unpredictable fluctuation of prices in the market. Fluctuation of prices result revenue for the traders/investors.
I really don't see how this will happen if the bitcoin doesn't set the pace for price. Remember that whenever Bitcoin goes down, altcoins also dip. So, we always look up at btc for price dictation.


7. Bounty campaign will be continued to progress.
 
Sadly, this is true and that is why most people are here and also doing shitposting. Hopefully, the Merit system should begin to take care of that.

This are good lists. It's good to have many altcoins because each coin is unique in their own way. Each has a good service, product and project that they promote. Some altcoins are worth investing because they are good for long term run. If there's a lot of altcoin, monopoly of the market can surely be avoided, and there would be many choice for investors to invest to.

what you say is very true but only in a perfect world.

you are missing an important fact that changes everything. and the fact is that a lot of greedy people and scammers and newbies with 0 knowledge have been creating a large part of the  current existing altcoins.

in other words, we don't really have many "altcoins", we have some altcoins and a lot of useless junk. it is a decentralized and open sourced community, so anyone can simply fork another project and create their own thing without even adding anything to the technology!
i read somewhere that there have been nearly 700 coins forked from bitcoin so far!

We cannot deny the fact that technology is always abuse by spammers/scammers, altcoin is prone to that.  But is up to the investors/traders to choose which one credible and not, I believe they are expert on that.  Those shitcoins definitely soon will flash to the toilet. 
Sure, even the traditional system always abuse by the scammers. I would not be surprised to see about the technology will become another victim to be abused by these persons.

Just the matter of time until some people are moving their money to the non-shitcoin. I remember there is a lot of shitcoin already died and one of them just like torcoin.

Interesting point on this. I also think competition for the same function is needed. Whenever, there is disruption in the market there should never be only one leading company. For example with Facebook came twitter, snapchat etc. all competing for the same entertainment factor, but also co-existing in the space. Yeah one protocol will probably lead the charge, it may be ETH, or NEO etc. , but they can all coexist as well and be successful.

I will second you on this! While to us will probably look many, they are just a small percentage compared for ex. with stock market.

The ones that are having no product/project or just scam will get lost alone , the ones with strong projects/products will probably have the ability to reach Ethereum or even Bitcoin in a few years, so yea sky is the limit ..

I don't think so. I believe all altcoin are co-important and necessary. They will only differ on their marketing strategy of survival.   Altcoin doesn't flourish to the market will die down then.  Beside we are just care about our wallet. Coins outside our wallet doesn't annoyed us.
