What advantages do altcoins have that differs it from bitcoin ?

Some altcoins created to overcome bitcoin problems. For example LTC is created with faster confirmation time, and cheaper transaction fee.
ETH is created to improve transaction speed by using erc20 token and smart contract in their network. So, there are features that different from bitcoin in altcoins.
Actually Bitcoin is riskier than a lot of alts which are backed by real business and value creation.
The future of Bitcoin is very uncertain. I still agree that most alts are useless though.

What advantages do altcoins have that differs it from bitcoin ?

Technically, altcoins offer more utility than bitcoin.  With bitcoin's primary purpose being a digital cash (which was intended for payments), altcoins have more features.

Altcoins can be used as payments, a utility token to avail products and services, and could be a platform for other altcoins & tokens too. It can serve a multitude of service, feature and purpose. It is not solely tied for digital payments and store of value like bitcoin.

And to date, there are altcoins that are faster to confirm and can accommodate more transactions per block than bitcoin can.

What are the advantages of altcoin and bitcoin? I think the difference is that altcoin is very volatile, allowing people to get a lot of money quickly, while bitcoin is less volatile, only suitable for long-term holding, and can't make people get a lot of money.

The topic is way too broad. There are thousands of altcoins to be compared to bitcoin. Every altcoin provides a specific service or usage. One is different and can be the same as well. It depends on the coin you were referring to. In terms of price, bitcoin will still be the KING while others will just ride along with it. Alt coins provide an alternative way of investment since we all know that you can get more coin on ICO's or presale.

Alt coins and tokens have their own structure.
For example one token will focus on exchange services and the other one will focus on other industry.
But bitcoin is the king and controls all prices by himself.
Compared to bitcoin, altcoins are having less advantage in my opinion too. But some people are claiming that they are making huge profits than what they are saving in bitcoins. but no one share how they identify that particular coin. Altcoins are having advantages but not in the same level of what we can enjoy from bitcoins.

At least, so far, even if it is for short or long term profit, it is still an impact. I know over time a lot of things will be changing for the better and that implies more to altcoins with very good and usable product and not just those with empty promises. So far, the altcoin space is purely speculative, or will I say the crypto space in all, and this makes it more like a pump and dump environment, so for now, I would say profit is the only advantage, but as time goes on when we start seeing real life usage, then we can start talking about the other usable advantages.

In a investors perspective altcoin is par better than bitcoin when it comes to possible potential for its the reason why many people tried to invest on different altcoins. A chance to increase your profit is also the reason why many people lose their earning since they dont consider the risk of altcoins.
Investments in any financial instrument have both positive and negative sides, altcoin is no exception. Before investing real money in altcoins, it is better to get acquainted with all the advantages and disadvantages.

What are the advantages of altcoin and bitcoin? I think it's very simple. Altcoin is risky, but it is very volatile. It is easy for people to make a lot of money. Bitcoin has small fluctuations and low risk, but now people can't make a lot of money from Bitcoin.

The low risk of bitcoin stability is suitable for people to store for a long time, waiting patiently, but the income is small, altcoin I think that the risk relative to Bitcoin is high and volatile, very unstable, only suitable for people to hold in the short term, the income is huge, which is why people will Like to invest in altcoin

Simple, the main altcoins advantage is their specification on specific project and service. You can't use btc on those project because they need to prioritize their own alternative coins.

For me, the best advantage of the altcoins is their number. There are a lot of them on the market and you can always make a very good choice. Just learn a lot about the project and pick the best alts.
that's true because to get a big profit in the altcoin it must be smart to choose coins that have very good potential in rising prices. and don't forget to also invest in bitcoin if you want to get a bigger profit but have to wait a long time to get it

yes, when you have a patience you can gain big profit with your investment, its just that you have to have a good knowledge before investing into any or all of the altcoins.
