Short: yes

and there are thousands of btc clones.

i would stay with the 2 biggest coins: Bitcoin and Litecoin.

Namecoin is another one with an interesting concept but first you should just learn everything about BTC

There are two Bytecoins, one is a Bitcoin clone, the other is an entirely different codebase, elliptical curve, difficulty algorithm, etc

If you mean bytecoin (bcn) than answer is no. It is not a copy of bitcoin. It is based on cryptonote.

Bytecoin (BTE) is a 1:1 Bitcoin clone.

Bytecoin (BCN) is an entirely different cryptocurrency with an entirely different codebase(It's "default" is anonymity/privacy, the opposite of Bitcoin's which is transparency/openness)

I suggest to visit http://mapofcoins.com. There you can see the history of the most altcoins including their roots.

Here (http://mapofcoins.com/bytecoin) you can see that Bytecoin (BCN) is the root of an own altcoin family. It was developed from scratch.
