Niches
Long-tail
New opportunities
Micropayments
Fast transactions

At least 20 alts will grow bigger long-term (just watch)

That may be true but the golden question is which one? There's so many pump and dump that many have lost faith in alt coins but the ones that will stick around, I do expect them to jump in price in the near future because people would have faith in it.

Over time the winners will emerge.
Now it is hard to tell (Namecoin will probably be winner)

People seem to be underestimating the power of niches. The mainstream is less and less relevant, in the age of internet where anyone can belong in a myriad of subcultures. Each of them could adopt a coin and form their own small economy, it will benefit them as each new member of their subcultures will add value to the whole group.

AKA. The long tail
Excellent answer
