Some altcoins are very similar to Bitcoin the only difference is they improve Bitcoin issues that are unresolved by core developers and create new coins, like forked coins. The other differences of some altcoins and Bitcoin are the specs it uses like algorithms (Ex. SHA256, Ethash, Equihash), block size, block interval, difficulty adjustment and total supply.

Hi. Welcome to the crypto world. Firstly, bitcoin is the pioneer of cryptocurrency. Basically, without bitcoin, the other cryptos would've not exist.

The entire world of cryptocurrency is divided into two classifications. On the one hand, there is Bitcoin and on the other hand there are alternate cryptocurrencies. The difference is simple and very elementary. Bitcoin is the only Bitcoin. The rest are alternate cryptocurrencies or altcoins. That includes Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Ethereum, Waves, Lisk, Monero, and so many others. We are having more than a thousand altcoins already. Many of these are shitcoins.

Bitcoin and altcoin both are cryptocurrency. But Bitcoin is a first invented cryptocurrency. Other cryptocurrency are altcoins. In digital market Bitcoin is high valuable currency. Because all the miners are access in Bitcoin. But altcoins are some of miners only accessing. So cost of variation is depending on competitors demand. Both are useful in current market. But profit is depends on coin value basis.There are other 'pre-dated' cryptocurrency before bitcoin. But bitcoin literally took the world by storm and become the mother of all crypto's.
As far as altcoin (alternative coin) and anything not bitcoin is called altcoin. Altcoin exist because they either want to replace bitcoin (highly unlikely to happen) or improved one of bitcoin's design flaw (high transaction fee, slow confirmation time).

you can think of Bitcoin as the first coin out there. It was basically the first coin that started using the blockchain, which is the technology that all coins on the crypto market are based on. Due to that, the fact that BTC has been the first, it has seen the biggest adoption from users and that's the reason why it has the highest dominance in the market. BTC is valued at about 120 billion at the moment and has about half the market share of all crypto's! That's quite something! Altcoins is anything else. Whenever you hear altcoin it's a coin that is not BTC essentially, since there can only be one Bitcoin and any other coin besides that is just an "alternative" or otherwise "Altcoin". Don't let that confuse you though, altcoins have just as much potential as BTC does and time will show that.
Bitcoin is the reference because it is the first coin. And the others coins are considered like some altcoin (alternative coin). Today, people consider bitcoin like a gold in the crypto currency world. Btc is the most reliable and the most stable (always in the crypto world) coin. But You must consider the big altcoin and the others.
I wait which coin will counterbalance a little the strength of bitcoin. It’s not good that the bitcoin are alone like that.
The market cap of btc = 118 Bln
and the second ethereum = only 30

Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency and coins/tokens that launch after bitcoin is known as altcoin. Bitcoin as the main coin because those altcoins mostly used bitcoin as a benchmark of exchange rates against altcoin.
In addition, all coin are called cryptocurrency but bitcoin been first and the others are called alternative coin (altcoin)
The only similarity between the two is they are both cryptocurrencies. And altcoins are any cryptocurrency that is not bitcoin.

I don't think in the same way with you. If you mean ltc here as the blocks as bitcoin, it's wrong. Ltc was a bitcoin fork at old days, but it's now totally a different thing. We can create stable environment for altcoin without bitcoin.
Bitcoin is first cyrpto currency coin
And altcoins are removed after bitcoin

Ethereum and Bitcoin are opponent.
