So, even though it's probably not economical to attack a SHA1 based cryptocurrency at the moment (the cost of mounting an attack would likely exceed the amount of funds available in the few SHA1 based cryptocurrencies out there), the fact that SHA1 is now 'dead' will probably result in the value of those alt-coins dropping precipitously.
