Definitely, for some. To the refactored question "which altcoins will survive ?", I think one should start by looking beyond poloniex and dig into the purpose and applications of a coin for the long run.
Take IOTA for example. It's being used by companies because it solves an industry's issue that BTC can't solve and you can easily explain how to commoners without getting too complex.
On the opposite, I think you could put a question mark on altcoins that "just improve" what BTC is and can do.
I like this refactoring of the question. Altcoins are a mass graveyard of dead projects, some revived twice and even thrice, some just abandoned, others look like they are alive but will only suddenly awake and pump after 2 or 3 years. But which are the ones that will survive, which are the ones that will grow stronger, and which are the ones that will remain with us tomorrow, and ten years in the future?
And for Iota, great coin yes, but can they survive their bad reputation for trying to "cheat" people on their partnerships? Eth survived the DAO hack, but which other alt has the same strength?
