I remember when I was new in cryptocurrency I thought bitcoin is an altcoin because the word of alternative coin for me means alternative money. After I researched about cryptocurrency I found out that bitcoin is a "main coin" or "the mother of all cryptocurrencies" and other coin called "alternative coins" in short "Altcoins".

Basically, altcoin is a cryptocurrency that we're trying to work for. Since you are already a member of our society here in bitcoin, it is better for you to read threads with regards to those things that are so complex for you to understand. But that is just for now that you are a newbie. They are much reliable since those threads are made specially by those big time masters here in bitcoin. With that, they can share and impart their knowledge for you, for us all so that we can all work together with harmony and with unity. Looking forward that we can all succeed with our own little ways in struggling our journey to have a better and brighter future.
According to Google:
An altcoin is any digital cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin. The term is said to stand for “alternative to Bitcoin” and is used to describe any cryptocurrency that is not a Bitcoin. Most popular altcoins use the same fundamental building blocks as Bitcoin.

Altcoins means alternative coins. The first coins we have in the cryptoworld is bitcoin. After bitcoin, all coins created are called altcoins. These coins have lower value or price than bitcoin. Some altcoins arent stay or listed in all exchanges because they disappear because they arent indemand as that of others. Altcoins also are being used as payment in most bounties we have here. The main goal of having altcoin is to exchange or trade them in bitcoin, a globally accepted coin.

In a simple word, Alt = Alternative;  -coin = Coin. Join both words you have Altcoin which when written in full means Alternative Coins. Alternative because there is already a major coin in existence before those coins were created and that major coin is Bitcoin. Therefore, any coin in the cryptospace other than Bitcoin is called Altcoin. Such coins include Ether, Ripple, Bitcoin cash, etc.

Yes! As the name implies, "Altcoin" is a combination of two words: "alt" and "coin"; alt is short for alternative and coin signifies currency. Thus together they imply a category of cryptocurrency that is alternative to the digital currency Bitcoin. After the success story of Bitcoin, many other peer-to-peer digital currencies have emerged in an attempt to imitate that success. Or simply put, Altcoins are the alternative cryptocurrencies launched after the success of Bitcoin. Generally, they project themselves as better substitutes to Bitcoin. The success of Bitcoin as the first peer-to-peer digital currency paved the way for many to follow
