Bitcoin is unique. We have only one Bitcoin.

Altcoins are a lot, thousands according to Coinmarketcap (22140), Coingecko (12863) ^{[1, 2]}. Important note, not all altcoins are listed at these sites. Many of them can not get approval for listing or were delisted after turning to dead projects.

Bitcoin network is decentralized.
Altcoins network are all centralized. Their centralizations can be different by centralized severity but they are not decentralized like Bitcoin.

Bitcoin network is a strongest one according to its total hashrate and estimation for How many confirmations are equivalent to 6 Bitcoin confirmations? ^[3]

While some people will probably have different opinions with this(maximalists on Twitter) — in general, bitcoin is bitcoin(which is a cryptocurrency), and cryptocurrency is the broader industry of other blockchain-based coin/token projects.

hi friends everyone? This is my first post, and I'm not experienced in the world of crypto. I want to ask, what's the difference between bitcoin and crypto? I hope all my friends can explain to me,,?

Firstly, welcome to the forum.
Secondly, bitcoin itself is a form of crypto (since it uses encryption to verify transactions), there is nothing to differentiate here.
Thirdly, I assume you were about to ask difference between bitcoin and altcoins, anything other than bitcoin is an alt (even usdt).
