It seems to me that there is no real future for altcoins, except for speculative use. But I don't believe we can ever reproduce the euphoria - and the inevitable scams - of past years. And it's probably better that way.
I don't agree with ypu, not all altcoins are shitcoins, some altcoins have been around for long enough and doing more than well enough for anyone to still doubt if there is actually a future for them.
