The bottom line is that "altcoins" are useless except Namecoin which is not only the first Bitcoin fork but is also directly connected to Satoshi Nakamoto. Not to mention that all new altcoin are released by some corporation which expecting profit. All these useless altcoins are eventually will fade away because a few people controls most of those coins. I'm a strong supporter of Bitcoin and Namecoin and I believe that all other coin worth nothing more than a poop!
