Care to explain this a bit more? I'm not aware of this.

well that's my opinion based on what i have seen so far and the way it is advertised by the team...

we currently have somewhere around 1500 altcoins instead of having 500,000 of them.

It certainly feels as though there are 500,000 of them. Where can I find a reliable source on the amount of altcoins in existence/circulation? It looks like there's about 1,500 altcoins announcing ICOs on this forum every month.

https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/ is reliable enough. they usually are missing a couple of them and have a couple that shouldn't be in the list but 1574 (current count) is in the ballpark.

and here is the graveyard: https://deadcoins.com/

past 9 years bitcoin price was not affected by them in the long run!

I agree. They've certainly caused quite a few hiccups along the way though. It's almost like the altcoins are protesting while Bitcoin has the main stage just to grab a bit of attention. It's annoying, but the show must go on! I don't realistically see any altcoin threatening the price of Bitcoin long term, unless one of them finally brings an innovation or creative solution of some kind to the market.

yeah but the thing about bitcoin is that it IS the innovation itself! bitcoin is not some outdated 100 year old technology. it is the brand new tech in its infancy and it is also being improved with things like LN for instance.
