in my opinion, bitcoin is the parent of the all coins in the cryptocurrency, while the altcoin is a coin alternative.

Just look at Bitcoin as the main crypto-currency, and all other crypto-currencies are just alternate or options for you where you can invest your money. So, if you find bitcoin slowing down on its progress, you can still buy crypto-currencies and trade it on some major exchange, once you reach your target profits, you can reinvest it back to bitcoins together with all the profits you gained from trading. Just trade carefully, caveat!

Bitcoin has been the first cryptocurrency that has ever existed, i dont think that you really need to ask this because it is not very difficult to understand.

And all the altcoins are not just copies of bitcoin, they all were ideas based on bitcoin, but with different modifications and for other kind of purposes.

ethereum is a crypto that has been created in order to create smart contracts and be a payment processor like bitcoin is too.

And the same happen with all the other cryptos like monero, litecoin, dash, with all the altcoins that are now listed on the market.


IMO 99% of altcoins are just attempt to make money for authors. Artificially inflated and over rated coins without any additional value, revolutionary idea etc. But there is few exceptions and I agree that all coins mentioned in your post are those exceptions.

I Think the same but if u bet on the right alcoin for whatever reason u can get a huge profit

bitcoin is bitcoin. all the other coins are altcoins, hence "alternative cryptocurrency".
