I'm well ok with something like 5-20 solid coins.
These coins should be enough to be everything that is needed.
So altcoins itself aren't bad but the speed of creation of new ones is ridiculous.
And why every new coin has to be pumped and dumped? Why?
So that those few who already has huge amounts of btc can get even little bit more.

I'm not so sure about Quark as it favors heavily early adopters.
NXT and Quark both seem to have noisy early adopters that are more than willing to sell you some coins.
Althought these coin could be good coins otherwise.
