Back in 2013 there were new coins released everyday, much like now. Cheesy

Cryptsy was the exchange you'de go to trade shitcoins.

Altcoins were always popular.

More like Craptsy! They closed up and stole everyone's money... for some reason does everyone forget?
Everyone always talks about BTC-e, Mt. Gox , but what about Cryptsy?!

Altcoins are destine to be popular because bitcoin are getting popular as well, we know bitcoin has it's limitation
therefore we can expect that devs are building their project using the concept of decentralization or blockchain.
Like for example, now there are a lot of projects that are using the smart contract or the Ethereum platform and as they are
getting popular, eth are also getting more popular.

Hey all. I would like to know this. We all know bitcoin got well know a while back. But it wasn't until this year when bitcoin hit 1000 dollars when everyone became aware of it. Then it went up more and more etc. I did not know much about any other coins besides litecoin. I had no clue there were so many coins etc.

Well what i want to know is when exactly did all these altcoins got so popular but most importantly, were there lot of discussions of altcoins before bitcoin hit 1000 dollars? Because had i know about these altcoins, i probably would have gotten a good bit of them at low prices. I had no clue litecoin was so low price at the start of this year. Basically every altcoin in the top 25 etc has went up a lot where you could have made so much money etc.

I think altcoins became popular, when bitcoin started to become expensive. People looked for alternatives since trading btc is not quite commendable. The profit in trading altcoins is very promising. A lot of people are earning a lot of money because of altcoin trading. This is one of the best reason I can come up to.

No, altcoin became popular by the value of Ethereum and Ripple growth very more in short time, special Ethereum from $6 per coin in October 2016, it reached to high than $400 per coin in May 2017, just 8 months for do that. Ripple better than, only one month from @400 sat reach to @7500 sat and falldown to @2500 in 2 weeks, then it rising up again reached high than @20k sat in May too.

I guess altcoins became popular because of it's price variation and fluctuation. A lot of people are earning a lot because of altcoin trading. I think that's one of the best reason why altcoins existed. All you need to do is to find a cheap coin with a lot of potential in the market, buy low and sell high.

Altcoin has a good price and the way how does it works. Altcoin became popular because of it at first the famous is bitcoin but now there is altcoin that make some noise hre in forum for how the way it process.

The altcoin has become popular right after the existence of bitcoin. And right now, people are focusing on developing altcoins in order to make the cryptocurrency more stable and stronger. Altcoins will strongly support bitcoin if they are used on the world. If you know about bitcoin, you need to spend more time to learn about altcoins because altcoin will become a part of the future

Bitcoin was a great opportunity, but many people lost it because they didn't adapt early. People don't want to repeat that mistake with good alts.

Alt coin has become popular because it gives a very promising profit, and some of the alt coin can give more profit than Bitcoin and trading alt coin is more profitable than bitcoin, many people gained more profit with trading alt coin, alt coin is really suitable for short term investment

It's not that altcoins became popular, it is that ICOs and startup built around those models provide innovations, need, and liquidity, this coupled with the general crypto currency adoption makes it good reason to see them shine.

As many people wants to follow the trend of bitcoin, they created altcoin to taste also the success. Yeah last two years altcoin became popular like they sees it as an another way to make profit. Unlimited profit that they bother with bitcoin since you can only mine 21 million of it. And people sees also its potential in the market.

UTEMIS| pre-ICO 15.02.2018 | +50% Bonus

That’s a good topic to discuss here. Last 2 years I think altcoins got more popular, because people were more encouraged to invest on online trading and investment as well as many campaigns involved to promote some altcoins. Also forums gave the knowledge about altcoins and how to invest in there to get more profit. Another point is that people tempt to invest in altcoins because bitcoin price got high. It’s not good to depend on one coin due to its risk on profit.

I can't believe no one else mentioned this, so I will. Altcoins became famous because of Ethereum platform!!!

With Ethereum, anyone can make a token which is similar to an altcoin and provide a service with it and sell it.

The reason there are so many ICOs now because many companies are creating tokens to sell to the public as shares in their company.

swing!

they ride along with BTC while remaining extremely volatile price that could grow very fast and ecosystem seems profitable for both short and long-term growth. Basically playground for traders and funding hub for developers.

For me it's Bitstamp that made altcoins exist in my eyes. When they added XRP, I had BTC laying around there so I randomly bought some XRP. Rest is history. ty bitstamp.

I think one year ago altcoins was very popular, because a lot of new projects are emerging that use altcoins, trading is one of the main triggers of the popular altcoin.
