The OP doesn't understand with what he's talking about.
"Alt"coin means Alternate from bitcoin.
Why is the bitcoin doesn't called as Altcoin? Because Bitcoin is the first Cryptocurrency.

This is exactly right. The reason altcoins are called altcoins is because they are alternative coins to bitcoin. They are always inferior to bitcoin as their network security is much weaker (lower hashrate). To say that bitcoin is an altcoin is like saying that bitcoin is an alternative coin to itself.

Well, if you take a look at all the threads that he started, most are pretty nonsense.
Satoshi was murdered, evidence coming in? Roll Eyes

The first statement doesn't make sense at all. Bitcoin was first, anything that comes after is an altcoin, end of story.
You can deny it as much as you'd like but it's hopeless.

Bitcoin is the Cryptocurrency.
All the others are Alternative Cryptocurrency. Wink

The one who created the original system is the original cryto as Sampey and others have said
The rest of them are alt-coins if they use the same types of codes to resolve the double spending problem.

That said what we can define is a non-btc Variant would not be an altcoin
Bitcoin based vairants are altcoins

Bitcoin was first and most used, most valued coin. Its the boss, so other coins can be called alt coins

Bitcoin is an altcoin to Peercoin and Peercoin is an altcoin to Bitcoin.

Do all of you understand what "alt" means? It stands for alternate.

So when shown some new technology in crypto I get annoyed when people go, oh it's just another alternate.

Bitcoin is also an alternate to other technologies. I hate how all of you are acting like the current bitcoin protocol is the end all be all project in the crypto scene. Satoshi brought true innovation and all of you are acting like there can't be any more for some reason.

So please next time something innovative is made don't just go, oh that's just another altcoin. Actually use your heads and look at the technology for what it's worth.

This idiotic thought process that some of you posses is exactly why a lot of you and a lot of people didn't get in early on Bitcoin. Because when faced with something new your underdeveloped/underpowered brains don't know how to process everything and you immediately call scam or fail on what you can't understand.

The name of the topic made me sad. But i'm still waiting for an interesting discussion.

This is the most pointless thread ever.

Cryptopaths is an expert troll.

I don't know whether he is a troll. He is telling logically. We usually call other coins as ALTs but it can be used vice versa too though it isn't really possible. Both YES and NO for the statement is true in a different way of thinking. Roll Eyes

Bitcoin is the first true crypto currency and all the other projects inspired by it are alt coins.

Even Monero, which I support, is an alt coin, even though it is completely different from Bitcoin and shares no code at all.

Most alt coins are complete crap, however some alt coins are superior to Bitcoin in some ways, so don't take offense to these coins being called alt coins.

Being called an alt coin is not in any way derogatory.

there's no room in the cryptocurrency markets for coins other than Bitcoin ...

All the speculation/hype is fueled by speculation/hype. Nobody is actually USING the altcoins, other than hoarding them in the hopes they go up. Hell, people are just barely using Bitcoin itself.

I agree with you.

Bitcoin is the desirable alternative coin to Peercoin, and Peercoin is the less desirable alternative coin to Bitcoin.

Bit coin was the first cryptocurrency to be introduced.
Alt coin simply means it's an alternative cryptocurrency other than BTC.

But btc were 1st, that mean that alt, it's all currencyes after btc, and btc it's a core of crypto currency, much usefull for many people. Btc Community is bigger then any alt community. After that, we are using name alt. Don't hate it, if you don't understand that.
