"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.

yes, probably a good advice is to invest a little (or not so little) in DeepOnion.
There is a great community behind it and privacy will be a key element for TOP privacy coins in 2018 (and even after)

it's a good idea to create a thread here, but if you do not know what altcoin it is outrageous.
what are you doing during this forum? do you read?
it is an alternative coin that can be said like LTC, XRP, ETH etc.

Are you seriously? Do not know what altcoin is? you are registered, about 3 months ago at the largest forum on cryptocurrency, and after a three-month stay here you did not find out what altcoin is?

So, my advice to you, think a hundred times before creating a similar topic

The Most Profitable Mining Pool

Altcoin is the terms any crypto currency other than Bitcoin. It is just short term for ALTernative COIN.
Bitcoin is the father of all crypto-currency.

I suggest you to know what you are doing before making any investments or trades because this field needs a basic knowledge on how to deal things. Risk is high here when you don't know what you are doing.

Alternative coins or tokens are also crypocurrencies that is utilized bu investors to offer services or other functionality in this platfor. BTC and altcoin are the currencies to which values flow and this flow is the avenue that could be taken advantage of for profit. some of the good altcoins are ripple, litecoin, iota, stellar, cardano, and eth.

The Experience Layer of the Decentralized Internet

All cryptocurrencies are divided into BTC and altcoin.
In addition to bitcoin, all other tokens are called altcoin. But these tokens don't necessarily have to go beyond the BTC, Just like ETH,NEO,QTUM and they try to go beyond the BTC,because they all have Intelligent contract Shocked

I wouldn't call ETH an altcoin.

Ethereum has industry backing, killer R&D, and a 2 Billion market cap.

Among Ethereum's achievements, only Bitcoin can compare, but even Bitcoin only has a market cap to show.

I think the same. Moreover, I think that the Etherium will surprise everyone in 2018.
I would compare them as macos and android.

Alt - Alternative so altcoin stands as alternative currency because all other coins expect bitcoin are considered as alternative coin to bitcoin. They are tied with bitcoin pair so all of them get affected whenever bitcoin moves. Altcoin term was coined from start when there were only few coins made from cloning bitcoin.

When you define an altcoin ethereum will still be under altcoins not unless Ethereum was the first cryptocurrency which is not because Bitcoin was the first and the foundation of these alternative cryptocurrencies.If an altcoin could replace bitcoin's position it will be ethereum but it doesnt mean bitcoin will be called an alt when it is happened.

Altcoins are coins or tokens that are not bitcoin. They are called such because it just simply means alternative coin.

I think your position only newbie because you are registered in three months ago. So you have more time to gain some knowledge in this forum. But you are not study anything this forum. First you should learn some simple abbreviations in this platform. Because everyone know the altcoin is just alternative coin. This is easy to understand the common users so you should improve yourself. Else you cannot survey in this forum.

Doesn't matter what limitations and caps a coin has if it's taken code from Bitcoin then it's an altcoin.
