What advantages do altcoins have that differs it from bitcoin ?

It depends a lot on the specific Altcoin as many of them exist only as the leftovers of pump-and-dump schemes intended to make their creators rich. Amway, we all know Bitcoin has a transaction time of over ten minutes on average. And this can take several hours in cases thanks to its very low block size. Altcoins like Dash and Ripple have successfully overcome this problem and has a clear advantage over Bitcoin at this point. Also mining of Bitcoin is much expensive and difficult requires data center for it while Altcoin like ripple can be mined using a mobile phone.

Bitcoin is the first ever cryptocurrency that introduced new method of cash system. Later altercoin evolved with more precision and advanced usability. Like instant transactions, cheaper fees, low consumption of energy , infinite scalability etc.

Main advantages:
1. Higher transaction speed due to the use of improved algorithms;
2. Improving anonymity;
3. More profitable mining.
4. Increased number of functions

In a investors perspective altcoin is par better than bitcoin when it comes to possible potential for its the reason why many people tried to invest on different altcoins. A chance to increase your profit is also the reason why many people lose their earning since they dont consider the risk of altcoins.

Each of them is trying to replace BTC in some way, so they are constantly improving in all different issues that BTC really has (such as transaction speed, throughput, and drawbacks of PoW algorithm as well). If you are really interested in technical details, you may want to read about different generations of blockchain, as it seems to me like a right topic to start from.

Depends on the coins, but generally the newer altcoins tend to have much more sophisticated algorithms. So you can expect fast and cheap transactions.
Plenty of them has some sort of utility, a goal which is built upon.
This goal for Bitcoin was to create the first cryptocurrency, with working transactions and ledger. - Blockchain 1.0
For Ethereum, it was the increased transaction speed with being turing complete - so you can build almost anything onto the infrastructure it creates. - Blockchain 2.0
Newer alts, like EOS, or Wanchain, aims to be Blockchain 3.0 . What it takes to be that is something I dont know, probably undefined yet. But interchain solutions of WAN makes it more interesting.

Altcoins are divided into different groups according to their functions. If we consider altcoins as an investment, then they can grow more in price in a shorter period and a greater number of percentages

There are in the bid to replace the challenges and short comings of bitcoin which will definitely give any of them that is able to do that. For instance, the scalabity is a major challenge

Each altcoins has its advantages and disadvantages. In one altcoin, the high speed of transactions in another privacy. Each crypto currency has its own positive features for which this currency is valued by people.

Most altcoins serve as utility tokens which is use to perform transactions on the project platform. With such coins one can get discount from using that altcoin to make a purchase.

the advantages of altcoin are its easy-to-reach price and its many suppliers, while bitcoin is always superior in price and out of supply, that's what I know.

In my opinion, each altcoin has a distinct advantage, because it focuses more on developing a functional technology that may be the solution of a problem that lacks bitcoin. For example, altcoin transactions are usually faster and cheaper.

There is a wide range of variations between altcoins. The transaction fees, transaction times, scalability, can vary. Also, some coins don’t use a blockchain which could have some benefits as well as some drawbacks. There are also altcoins that are designed for specific functions such as platforms for tokens, internet of things, mining, privacy, etc. I think these variations are important because they serve different purposes.

Altcoins can have the advantage of being more accessible and yet being just as useful as bitcoin but useful in different ways.  For example, Waves has been fluctuating between $5-10 USD for months now and yet it performs similar functions and usefulness as ethereum which has been far more difficult to attain at prices of $500-1000 USD.  Waves is a great technology platform with many smart contracts running which is similar to what Ethereum does.

Faster transaction time than bitcoin. cheaper in transactions than bitcoin. Higher inflation than bitcoin. Can be pumped over 1000x in months. Allows for trading on its decentralized exchange. Can handle more transactions than bitcoin.

You need to specify which altcoin are you talking about. Some of them are just security token and so it is only useful in their own platform. But there are also a lot of currency and they offer their own benefit, some are called privacy coin because it offer a privacy that Bitcoin do not have. While other offering scalable solution which is also lack in Bitcoin. But after all Bitcoin is the King.

The most common and known advantage of altcoins to bitcoin is that altcoins are much cheaper than bitcoin. Also if the altcoin really has the potential then it will grow in price by a large margin in the future. So it is sometimes better to invest to altcoin since you can buy many before it actually pump. but also bitcoin is good investment for long run.

It depends on the altcoins u are talking about . Bitcoin still remains the kings though

Altcoins like NEO,  ETHEREUM might dethrone BTC though few years to come

The primary advantage of altcoins is that you get to increase your btc holding while you in turn increase dollars.

innovative alts have some features like smart-contracts, shadring, pos mining, transaction speed is really nice, up to 15k tps. We are still in time when platform project beats each orther to get their popularity and usefulness for the public.

Compared to bitcoin. Yes, from the consumer side, almost no. In any case, it is easier to have bitcoins on the account to buy other tokens and pay for services. There are a couple of interesting, such as Ethereum, but again, it is only needed for quick transactions.

I am amazed at the type of altcoin because this type of transaction is anonymous and very fast. Altcoin types are very diverse and have their respective advantages.

I think their advantage is that they're fresh. They make all the changes and correct the mistakes that their predecessors made. Therefore, I think that each token is better than the previous one and each has a potential.

The advantages of the Altos are that they can earn much more than bitcoin. Example let me give you. To make money X20, more chances. Thus, you will earn 20 times more. Will you earn that with bitcoin? I guess not.

Altcoins are like a mining pool against bitcoin where trader/investor use to accumulate more bitcoin in return. However, altcoins are more profitable than bitcoin if carefully and professionally selected. Thank you

The thing about altcoins is that they help to cover up whatever gaps that bitcoin leaves in the market. If there is a sector or a service that bitcoin cannot be used for then you can be sure that there is an altcoin out there that can do exactly that for you

Main advantage of altcoins it's their a variety. Many solutions for problems, but a many scams)

In order not to repeat all answers, I think this is the most accurate answer to the question:

:)

This are the some advantages ofor altcoins.Tackling Inflation Rates: Fiat currencies are subject to constant devaluation. Lots of people have started stocking up on Altcoins in segregated accounts because real-life financial crisis does not affect their value in a negative way.

I like the chances with each new coin, the market is growing and it is developing as once there were stocks, so now the altkoin tokens, and we have the opportunity to buy them at a very good price!

As for me, there is a prospect that altcoins can show a big increase in a short period of time because they have not yet realized it and a bitcoin has long been self-realized and will not grow very fast, although it's not a fact, it always gives us surprises  :D :D

For me the advantage is a lot of altcoins are spreading compare to bitcoin, so you can choose what you want and its affordable because the value also are not so high compare to bitcoin. And also altcoins are easy to make profit

It makes sense to think about how to distribute your funds in time between different altcoys, finding ones that have great prospects in this young market. Their creators offer such interpretations of blockade technology, which to the bitcoin itself is no longer applicable.

The prospects for some successful altcoins improve that they can support a number of innovative software developments (like smart contracts in the case of ETH, or the creation of a two-tier payment network in the case of DASH). An interesting point is that part of the altcoin can "bring interest" just by storing.

Altcoin is increasingly emerging in the cryptocurrency market and bringing a lot of innovation. The advantage of altcoin is that it is formed later, so it is often used in the most advanced technology to serve a certain area, the value of the altcoin is usually low, it is an opportunity for investors can Choose for yourself the potential projects for long-term investment.

 advantage of altcoins to bitcoin is that altcoins are much cheaper than bitcoin. Altcoin is increasingly emerging in the cryptocurrency market and bringing a lot of innovation.

about which altcoin are you talking about? because there are more than thousands of altcoins on the market at this moment, and most of them have diffferent features from each other..

I think it's the same, at least if the profit altcoin that will be in it can I see very little compared to the benefits you get from bitcoin in investing.

If you are a small trader,you can buy huge amount of altcoin as compared to bitcoin.Secondly ,you will get double or triple of invested money.The people who had brought ETH at 400$ in past and sell at 800$.Will get double of invested money.If you brought,bitcoin or altcion fully.For example 1ETH,you will get entire.

Up to which I need, bitcoin is fulfilling all of them. bitcoin is working better for me in my online transactions and is giving satisfaction to the businesses holders who need to use a cryptocurrency. They need a cryptocoin and they add bitcoin to that.
But still there is another benefit to bitcoin from altcoin and that is the owners of altcoin are spending a lot of money on advertising their coins and businesses and they promote them on all of the social media and due to that many people who are not aware from bitcoin know about blockchain and they start to search about that and they also then learn about bitcoin.

What came from bitcoin, goes to altcoins. There are some altcoins that are trying to improve on what is lack with bitcoin but I can't see any of it.

Before there was when bitcoin was on having a spam attack to the network that cause large transfer fees so other altcoins dominated on that area by having a cheaper fee.

There are many altcoins on the internet and each of them has different advantages. All advantages do help people a lot. Ethereum provides people smart contract which can create a reliable contract between people and people. It can be used a lot in the future but right now, they can only add it in ICO. Litecoin has the super fast blockchain which is called lightning network. It is super fast while the fee is still comfortable. And in the conclusion, you have to know that they have 1 same advantage which people like a lot: profitable. Investing your money in altcoins can give you a great amount of money after months.

There are plenty of advantages and disadvantages. well, firstly altcoins have team of developers elaborating better ways to speed transactions with lower fees, just compare BTC and ETH, ethereum is far faster and you don't have to pay too much to transfer money

Altcoins have a lot of advantages over Bitcoin. The fact that altcoins were born after Bitcoin was an advantage when altcoins overcame many of Bitcoin's existing disadvantages such as slower transaction speeds and no smart contract that made the transaction fee very high. Altcoins on the market use the technology of ETH to create a vast network and have a close connection with each other.

They have different advantages.How can we write their all advantages here.Research their purpose carefully , learn.They have good advantages.

I can see one major advantage of an altcoin from Bitcoin. Except from being cheap and faster in transaction than Bitcoin, altcoin can pump up to 500% - 800%. If youre lucky to be riding the pump and dump situation. It's like an instant profit, but a risky move.

Yeah also when you looking for an investment that gains you bigger potential in the future , the answer is an altcoin. It's more innovative besides so risky. The fee much more cheap sometimes and the transaction not cost time as much as what Bitcoin has lately , it's sucks when there's no alternative .

I agree. One thing is that Altcoins are way cheaper compared to Bitcoin. We can even make millions with Altcoin investment because we buy them cheap and if ever it has potential to grow then that is the time for a good harvest of profit which Bitcoin can't because of it's expensive price. Lastly, Altcoins has some improvements and upgrades just like those that came from Bitcoin platform and even another platforms.

bitcoin and altcoin are of course very different altcoin is an abbreviation of alternative bitcoin where altcoin is expected to replace or repair at least one component of Bitcoin. altcoins have an important role. Decentralization is one of the most prominent Bitcoin goals, and altcoins further decentralize cryptocurrency. Altcoins gives Bitcoin a healthy competition. Altcoins provides alternative option cryptocurrency users and Bitcoin developers to stay active and keep innovating.

The price is cheap, the development potential is bigger. This is my opinion.

There are different ways in altcoins, which can be made to make more profits by investing. The biggest advantages is that their bitcoin reduces the value, which can easily be bought and sold on more profits.

You dont have to wait for more than year , -all the time. You can make a profit x3 , x5 in couple days even in hours.

Dear everyone,
The Altcoin have some advantages and disavantages with BTC, ETH. Like MTC, CMT, ....in the recent day, they have big rate. So, the investors of those altcoins make benefits a lot. Good luck! Join and choose good altcoin!

I also feel that way. indeed altcoin and btc are the same. but the excess btc was higher than altcoin. so many consider the btc has a high enough advantage.

excess altcoin is useful for short-term trading and many types of altcoin can be used as an option. so I think we can now choose a potent altcoin and now it can be used as an advantage.

I think the basics of the benefits are the speed of data transmission and a much improved code of coins

In a financial specialists point of view altcoin is standard superior to bitcoin with regards to conceivable potential for its the motivation behind why numerous individuals endeavored to contribute on various altcoins. An opportunity to expand your benefit is likewise the motivation behind why numerous individuals lose their gaining since they dont think about the danger of altcoins.

There are many advantage of altcoin that should gladden our heart. Imagine a situation where all we have is only bitcoin, do you think bitcoin would have survive up till now! Altcoin has really complement bitcoin and allow bitcoin to grow and succeed.

I agree with you, Altcoins had a lot of advantages,  specially when it comes to investing where you can have a big profit after a month or a year, it is the matter of faith that will lead you that and someday to be a millionaire too.

I believe that the most important advantage of these coins is that they can jump at any time by 50-100%, so it is the most profitable!

Altcoins are coming in a full fledged back up team with so many strong leadership and advisors on it. The new ICO's are the example of the latest technology and the teams behind those projects. Altcoins generally reflect Bitcoin patch in price but few A;tcoins are out performing even though Bitcoin price is bleeding.

Altcoins are available almost for all members. So the BTC’s prices are so high, and in this situation we can work with altcoins now.

The benefits are associated with the functionality of altcoins and different altcoins have different utilities for the people. You can gain profits in the shorter period with greater percentage with them if you took them as investment and with greater speed and better algorithms the transactions increased with security.

You don't have to wait for more than year , -all the time. You can make a profit x3 , x5 in couple days even in hours.

Pundi X sends you an additional 7% of your coins held each month until the end of the year. So if you have 100 coins on your listed wallet or Coinbene Exchange, at the end of the month they send 7 coins to your wallet (Airdrop).  This way you always increase, and you can wait out fluctuations.

Good crypto Project! Their POS machine (creditcard machine + crypto + many others) takes direct crypto payments.

Coin buy-back coming!

There is lot of advantages of altcoins. We can hold coins for long time and take more and more profit from it. Altcoins have lot of potential.

One of the primary benefits of a thriving altcoin economy is that they often represent the testing of a theory.

There are plenty of advantages and disadvantages. well, firstly altcoins have team of developers elaborating better ways to speed transactions with lower fees, just compare BTC and ETH, ethereum is far faster and you don't have to pay too much to transfer money

The main advantage of the Altkoins is that they once brought a lot of profit. The return reached 1 year to 100,000%.

I think the biggest advantage of the altcoins is that, they are giving better profit opportunities than the bitcoin, generally. Because many of them are trying to reach good prices and grow. In my opinion, this situation is very good for the daily traders.

Well, they have bitcoin and other big cryptocurrencies  as model to look at, and avoid past mistakes, so they are able to prevent wrong moves. Also the mining of bitcoin is much expensive and difficult  while altcoins offer different and accesible ways of mining

exchange rate is very cheap and can be reached by middle society ..and all projects are now starting to use altcoin for payment and it can all be easy to access when it will sell..

Bitcoin cant be a basket for all features just for security reasons. Some alts will always exist (just for speculations reasons only. everybody wants to bite a piece of the blockchain pie)

Advantages is that they are less popular and at the beginning they can cost cheap.
But with more time, you can get your fortune.
You can get rich with alternative cryptocurrencies, not bitcoin.
TO get rich by bitcoin you had to invest at least one year ago.
So think about that!

Although bitcoin is still leading the market a lot of altcoins are now coming in shoulder to shoulder with bitcoin.
But if you follow crypto news trends, you will understand how altcoin is now surpassing the likes of bitcoin.
A lot of fantastic altcoin like Monero, Dash, Ripple has emerged that has many advantages over bitcoin.
We all know bitcoin has a transaction time of over ten minutes on average.
And this can take several hours in cases thanks to its very low block size.
Altcoins like Dash and Ripple have successfully overcome this problem and has a clear advantage over bitcoin at this point.
Mining of bitcoin is much expensive and difficult requires data center for it while altcoin like ripple can be mined using a mobile phone.
Altcoins have the benefit of experience. Bitcoin was the first and therefore issues that have arisen, such as ASICs, weren’t thought of.
Altcoins, on the other hand, can see where Bitcoin is going wrong and change their coin to prevent that from happening.

In general, I do not really think that the altcoins  are better than Bitcoin in terms of advantages and characteristics, and the opposite is true. the profit in Bitcoin is guaranteed   and all the market is depends to the king ( bitcoin ), and the majority of altcoins are related to Bitcoin in every development, for example when there is a  big pump in bitcoin, then most of cryptocurrencies will rise too due to they are the followers.

On the other hand, it is certain that there are many profitable cryptocurrencies especially who exist on the top ranks (Top 20) on the market (like, Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Tron and more) but Bitcoin is always better than them in many characteristics (Value of market cap, price, volume, and even the users).

There are plenty of advantages and disadvantages. well, firstly altcoins have team of developers elaborating better ways to speed transactions with lower fees, just compare BTC and ETH, ethereum is far faster and you don't have to pay too much to transfer money and moreso, altcoin have the tendency to give you a better profit as an investor as well than investing into bitcoin

Bitcoin doesn't have any backing project or any significant utility to back its price in long run. but many altcoins do have backing projects and use case which can give them intrinsic value and can support their price in long run. Use cases maintain the demand aspect of the cryptocurrencies. Since, most of the altcoins have capped supply, such ustility coins can survive in long run.

But i know they will have SMart contracts in the future RSK smartcontracts i read a full article but i don't know whose the real developer of bitcoin and why is it very important. Altcoins has their own smart contracts and utility tokens some coins are securities and the have different aspect.

I think the advantage of altcoins was most of it are in cheap value, then once it get pump there is big chances that the holder of the coins can probably earn more than 3x or more of it. Unlike Bitcoin was too expensive to have  it.

It depends on the alt coin, since most are trash, bad idea. But there are those that bring something new and innovative. For example Sia coin I believe is the name, is similar to Dropbox, and you can use your hard drive to mine. Win win for the user and the host.

Some altcoins are just getting started, There are so many promising altcoins which cost less than a dollar which means you can go scoop a lot of them and hodl for years which will give you a good profit. Some altcoins are just waiting for their main product/program/system to be launched and the pump of its price will soon follow. The main difference is the price.

Main advantages:
1)Blockchain
2)Maybe new hype coin ?
3)Anonymity
4)New opportunities
If you wanna find project with 4 this advantages check Socratus ;)

The most important advantage of altcoins is that altcoins are much cheaper than bitcoin. Also if the altcoin really has the potential then it will grow in the future. So it is sometimes better to invest to altcoin. We can even make millions with Altcoin investment because we buy them cheap and if ever it has potential to grow then that is the time for a good harvest of profit.

Altcoins are able to pump 100x+ in USD value in a short-term (and BTC is probably not). This is the main one

It depends a lot on the specific Altcoin. Some can give very fast profit.

Bitcoin is the first ever cryptocurrency that introduced new method of cash system. It is like a gold - more stable, but have less volatility

Since altcoins are tied to Bitcoin whatever moves they make is dependent on btc. So i hodl btc to increase my btc.

BTC is gonna stay for number one coin for a long time.
As it comes for alt, they can solve problems which BTC could not handle. ETH with its “smart contracts” is a good example.
Hopefully to see some promising coins to raise and beat BTC and its problems.

I think altcoins are volatile so it can also give us money if we are trading it on a daily basis.
We have a lot of option and the market is wide, also they have real purpose in life so just like bitcoin we can consider it as a long term investment,Good investment, there are some altcoins that is really good for long term invesment such ethereum and many else. Also agreed with you about transaction fees. If you compare it the fees on altcoins with bitcoins, the different is really big. Using altcoins for payment is really good and the fees is really low

I think altcoin comes after bitcoin so it has better characteristics. The velocity of a block of altcoin is faster than bitcoin. The total number of altcoin circulating in the electronics market is huge compared to bitcoin. The handling features, transactions of altcoin are faster than bitcoin.

many people invest in altcoin and make a profit because at this time I think it's time to hold altcoin and wait for altcoin prices back and can sell it when altcoin prices go up, so many people are investing in Altcoin because of the many benefits

.

My favorite by far and the one I think has most potential is Ambrosus. Altcoins are only valuable if they have an actual use case and the token economics make sense.

My favorite altcoin AMB is a utility token for a Swiss supply chain platform which is run by multi tiered decentralized master nodes and payouts for node operators are tied to the number of data "bundles" processed and stored each day.

So one of the ingenious things about AMB’s tokenomics is that while all the bundles are fixed at a USD price of $10 (to make adoption easier and consistent), the bundle price is actually paid in AMB based upon the current USD-AMB exchange rate. Therefore, even if you don’t have a node and are simply holding AMB, you are still holding the fuel for the entire AMB-NET. As the network grows, demand for the Nectar, which you hold, will also grow.

Another ingenious part of AMB’s network design is that every time a bundle is purchased, the network will automatically burn 5% of the AMB used to purchase the bundle. As mentioned above, as the network grows, demand for AMB will also grow as users will need it to purchase bundles. This growth in purchased bundles will subsequently increase the rate at which AMB is burned. So the more the network grows, the faster the burn rate is for AMB which will create scarcity. So you have this dichotomy where as the network grows not only will demand for AMB rapidly increase but at the same time, the supply of AMB will rapidly decrease due to more burning. As you’d learn in a basic econ class, an increased demand OR a decreased supply will lead to a price increase. But having both an increased demand AND a decreased supply happening simultanesouly can really cause a snowball into huge growth.

I think it's worth comparing bitcoin or any other coin with a specific altcoin. Ethereum is definitely more promising due to its platform and smart contracts..

It all depends on each altcoin, because the new coins decide what issues, problems associated with crypto!

Well the significant advantage of having an altcoins is for all the investors to look and decide on which coins will they are going to invest not only in bitcoin. Having an altcoins is an options and choices for all the investors who want to gain more and earn more.

The thing about altcoins is that they help to cover up whatever gaps that bitcoin leaves in the market. If there is a sector or a service that bitcoin cannot be used for then you can be sure that there is an altcoin out there that can do exactly that for you as different altcoins have differnect use cases

an advantages from altcoin ? what kind of altcoin do you mean dude ? I think each altcoin have their own advantages. and the advantages are so much if it will be described. like altcoin investment profit are more higher then bitcoin, their technology are much faster then bitcoin. so many advantages I think. but it must be describe more detail.

Some altcoins are very beneficial to bitcoin. They have more advanced technology. But few people know about them so bitcoin is now the strongest.

May be different between altcoin one with other altcoin. But basically all have an impact on the market, and all altcoin helps crypto to be as big as it is today.

Of course. but if it refers to the value of the price it is different. but technologically, there are many new altcoins that are more useful than bitcoins. even as new innovations emerge. but of the many altcoins, only a few will become famous and worth the price

alternative currencies are a positive phenomenon, if only because they create a competitive environment in the virtual money market, which contributes to its promotion and development, including the development of Bitcoin. In order not to get lost among many competitors, each team tries to stand out, giving its currency unique functions and significant potential.

Each altcoin has its advantages and disadvantages. But some altcoin have advantages, can make transactions in high speed and transaction costs are cheaper. All cryptocurrencies have their respective advantages.

Developers altcoin primarily solve the problems that are present in bitcoin.  Among such shortcomings: -Long transactions.  To speed up the transaction time, other algorithms are used.  In addition, crypto-currencies with a smaller volume of units are more likely to calculate the necessary operations.  -Inadequate amount of anonymity.  Although the transactions of crypto currency are considered to be sufficiently encrypted, the sender and receiver can still be tracked.  To avoid this, some altcoyins use additional encryption methods.  -Difficult and expensive mining.  The constant complication of bitcoin mining requires more and more resources for the formation of new blocks in the Block chain.  Alcoins offer alternative mining protocols that allow them to deal with users without complex hardware.  -Inadequate functionality.  Bitcoin is a crypto currency, its main task is to be a tool for settlement transactions.  Altcoins add additional functionality, for example, the creation of smart contracts.

Of course I agree with you about the gas that bitcoin has in the market. Alternatives are filling all those missing things that we want to have in Bitcoin, and we don't have.

It is ideal for low-budget investors, as they are more likely to lose compared to BitCoin. Especially when bitcoin is increasing, now subcounts are twelve times ten times, which increases the profit rate.

For me the advantage is a little bit analytical and simple. It is easy for an Altcoin to cover an 100% increase compared to Bitcoin in the same time frame. So in result, this looks attractive to investors.

An example is the Dragon coin (DRG) that dropped from around $0.9 to $0.1 last week, that's a huge loss for the early investors, but consider those who invested at $0.1 and now (within a week), DRG is just above $0.2, that's 100% increase, a very huge multiplier. In this same time frame Bitcoin has moved from around $5800 to $6600... Huge increase too, but little compared to the percentage increase of DRG.

If I refer, actually between altcoin and Bitcoin is the same process. Only the most hunted altcoin and the highest exchange though will eventually be fixed on Bitcoin. This in my opinion, can be different according to others.

Each altcoin setting has a different place, but most new altcoins have similar places. Compared with Bitcoin, these altcoins trade faster and are easier to mine and obtain (transactions can be produced), and the prices of these altcoins are generally lower!

Well, one thing you will notice in an altcoin is relatively cheaper than the Bitcoin which cost you 6000$ in 1 coin. If you want to hoard coins, you can invest many coins with 6000$ if you want to invest in altcoins rather than the BTC, but make sure that you have to choose potential coins so it will be secured.

One of the advantages i have observed is that there are so many altcoins with their platforms, that have improved on the speed on transaction. While bitcoin blockchain delays transaction process. Presently, i also noticed that so many altcoins give more profits in the long run than investing into bitcoin.

There are plenty of advantages and disadvantages. well, firstly altcoins have team of developers elaborating better ways to speed transactions with lower fees, just compare BTC and ETH, ethereum is far faster and you don't have to pay too much to transfer money

Altcoins are constantly trying to overcome bitcoin, so their developers are constantly improving their technologies in order to make them better options for investing.

There are different ways in altcoins, which can be made to make more profits by investing. The biggest advantages is that their bitcoin reduces the value, which can easily be bought and sold on more profits.

I guess everyone spoke about the speed of transactions and confirmation times is one very obvious advantage of altcoins over bitcoins. It was evident during the madness of December, bitcoin transaction fees multiple many folds, while altcoins remain the same. So you have to do like bitcoin->altcoin conversion if you wanted to get your investment quick (but may suffer losses along the conversion.)

Well, maybe you could start by listing some of them so we can take you seriously. One thing is that altcoins have their own space to fill and so is bitcoin. The thing with some of the altcoins is that they are not beneficial in anyway and they are just bitcoin clone trying to do what bitcoin could not do, but I guess since they are not going to end up being used on large scale as bitcoin, we may not actually get to know if they are for real or not.

Other altcoins with products anyway helps the space to grow most especially when they come with very unique products that will end up being usable in the long term.

yes it is one of the advantages of altcoin that has a transaction speed and less confirmation time. but when viewed from its deficiency, altcoin has many deficiencies than bitcoin, the presence of altcoin is more easily extinct because of the enormous competition with various other types of coins that can easily be defeated by the type of coin that has more investors

In one altcoin, the high speed of transactions in another privacy. Each crypto currency has its own positive features for which this currency is valued by people.

I think majority of altcoin are better in tech compared to BTC but recently there are many flaws and hacking in new project which is quite dangerous,but many are doing great but are still undervalued.btc is popular so it widely used as crypto currency payment but other altcoin are better in terms of speed and fee and they have team backing it up.

Many bitcoin enthusiasts say that altcoins are not needed at all and will not be successful, because they can not compete with the advantages that bitcoin can provide. Nevertheless, they will continue to develop.

If we consider altcoins as an investment, then they can grow more in price in a shorter period and a greater number of percentages

Bitcoin is a universal coin. That is, it has no specific functions. The current coins are characterized by the improvement of common functions, this is the rapid conduct of transactions, low commission costs, a high degree of anonymity. In particular, I am attracted to tokens in the crypto currency. If they have a good idea that provides practical convenience to people, such tokens very well raise the overall prestige of the crypto currency. Tokens are distinguished in general by a variety of specific functions, and despite the great claims to them, they have a very large practical application.

But we can take one eye off altcoin as for all investors to see and decide which coins they will invest not only in bitcoin. Having altcoin is an option and option for all investors who want to earn more and earn more.

The main advantage of  altcoins  is that altcoins are much cheaper than bitcoin. They attract investors because of their potential to grow and increase their value, so people who invest in them could get rich.

Bitcoin has several disadvantages such as slow transaction speeds and no smart contracts that make the transaction fee very high. Altcoins has improved all those issues.

When there is a drop in the Cryptocurrency market, it is better to leave money in bitcoin or USDT.

With the growth of the market it is better to invest in altcoins. EOS can grow 5-10 times in the next 2 years

One of the biggest advantage that I see is that altcoins are more volatile, so you can gain more money. But this can be also be a disadvantage. You should be very careful with altcoins

The advantages of altcoins are associated with their functionality. They  have different utilities for  people. You can get profit during  shorter period of time  and the transactions have increased  security.

Have you never seen a thread from an ico altcoin project? Very much the difference between bitcoin and altcoins. Even altcoins each other also have many differences. Please do not just ask and lazy to find information

For example please open PDATA ICO thread and understand what the advantages. Read here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3076122.0

Almost every altcoin tries to be better than bitcoin, add some additional features, become better, faster, stronger. Read their descriptions, they are all different.

Yes altcoinbhas a lot to offer every time when a new altcoin is launched it comes with some new feature to make our life easier with new technologies and altcoins are affordable and more profitable if hits the right spot.

I think the best investment way for a long term is always bitcoin. On the other hand, I think you can make good profits by buying and selling some altcoins in short periods. But sometimes it can be hard to predict the right coins which have potemtial to bring good profit.

Most of them have a heavy technological innovation component and can be considered as a second generation of coins, much changed from bitcoin.

Specifically their low prices. It makes easier or cheaper to buy and invest in, while bitcoin on the other hand is relatively too expensive and so many people are with the opinion that it has already reached its ATH and might not get to that again or exceed it. So, it's better for them to buy and invest in altcoins which have more prospects of them making more profits.

The first thing to think about is the cheap price. The intensity of price changes is also high, so it can be used for profit taking spread. In addition, altcoin opportunities to pump quite a lot, especially if there is good news related to the coin.

Since Bitcoin was the first ever crypto and has flaws, altcoin was created to be better than Bitcoin.  In terms of prices, altcoin is much cheaper compare to BTC.

actually the benefits you can get from buying altcoin and have altcoin very much, you can enjoy keitka altcoin prices rise and not only that altcoin also has a price that is still very cheap so suitable to buy as much as you can.

There is an extensive variety of varieties between altcoins. The exchange expenses, exchange times, adaptability, can differ. Likewise, a few coins don't utilize a block chain which could have a few advantages and also a few disadvantages. There are additionally altcoins that are intended for particular capacities, for example, stages for tokens, web of things, mining, security, and so forth. I think these varieties are essential since they fill diverse needs.

Bitcoin is now a very valuable coin. Besides only bitcoin is not enough for trade. Altcoins are helping in trading

There is a broad assortment of assortments between altcoins. The trade costs, trade times, flexibility, can contrast. In like manner, a couple of coins don't use a square chain which could have a couple of points of interest and furthermore a couple of disservices. There are furthermore altcoins that are planned for specific limits, for instance, stages for tokens, web of things, mining, security, et cetera. I think these assortments are fundamental since they fill various requirements.

Altcoins are arriving in an undeniable go down group with such a large number of solid administration and guides on it. The new ICO's are the case of the most recent innovation and the groups behind those undertakings. Altcoins for the most part reflect Bitcoin fix in cost however few A;tcoins are out performing despite the fact that Bitcoin cost is dying.

The entire inception of Bitcoin was to be a proof of concept for others to freely use, in order to construct their own variations and modifications of the source code, hence the project being open source. Bitcoin was practically made to be copied and reconstituted into the many altcoins you see as of today.
   Bitcoin 2.0 will most likely emerge from the conglomeration of several protocals of existing Blockchains, as well as from innovation. Not only will Bitcoin 2.0 most likely solve all the issues plaguing the first platform, it will probably do a few more neat things as well!

For each altcoin try to give more advantages and benefits for crypto community.  They want to solve problem in crypto space right now like scalability issue. Altcoin  already changed many financial of people by given alot of profit. Also many altcoin give advantages for many industry.

for Ethereum altcoin (ETH): Specially designed to be an open smart contract. Transactions conducted in blockchain can execute a smart contract in various ways, for example by sending a digital currency or data to the contract address. If successfully executed, the smart contract can process more transactions or execute other smart contracts. Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), is a software that developers can use to create applications as easily as creating crypto-based transaction applications. With the concept offered, developers do not have to create and manage their own blockchain.

I would say the main advantage of altcoins over bitcoin is the potential opportunity for altcoins to provide so much profit in comparison to a little bit more stable coins like ETH and BTC. It's mainly on the profitability.

There are lots of advantage of altcoins versus bitcoin and here are the list of its advantages :

- consensus flexibility they can switch from pow consensus to pos consensus like the plan of ethereum
- low transaction fee
- easy token creation ERC-20 is the most popular
- cross-chain multiplatform blockchain linking KOMODO has developed this kind of project
- faster transaction speed -UNIVERSA claims that it can process upto 50k/tps.

     Many altcoins have different purpose from Bitcoin, although there are few have similar and that is the reason that will not hit the market, because Bitcoin was already established its popularity, but for some altcoins with different purpose,it has really an advantage since it has a especial function of its own and also it's cheaper than Bitcoin.

A very good question. I also thought about this and found that altcoin has some advantages but also has disadvantages. Currently there are too many altcoin so I am also very confused when evaluating them.

In my own opinion, there is a huge advantage for altcoins because of the platform that is created by the developers but it was also its disadvantage if the project failed to market the coin.

there are many advantages of altcoin and so now many people are investing in altcoin and waiting for altcoin prices back good and stable and already many people who start investing in Altcoin because altcoin itself has benefited many people and in altcoin many promising altcoin

They are more volitile, although that can also be a disadvantage.

They represent really neat business projects and act as a hybrid between stocks and currency. Unlike stocks which can't be used for anything other than representation of the business, a lot of Altcoins can be used for actual purpose beyond business representation.

This is a good example of a coin being used for both a currency and a token of value representing a particular function, ie, smart contracts.

In the first place, there is no single point of comparison for al lthe altcoins and bitcoin. However, when you look at the macroperspective of it, you can take out a few things that are common to them, but not on the technicalities. Because when it comes to that aspect, you will never find a point of comparison.

if in terms of its prices of course altcoins has the advantage because of its low price. but in terms of its uses bitcoin has a big adavantage because of its popularity, but altcoin can earn you a lot especially when you do trading in the market. but you need to be careful in choosing altcoin you want to invest because some of altcoin is useless and some altcoin can loss your money because some altcoins got delisted in the exchange

Each altcoin may have higher throughput, which is the first point.
Secondly, altcoin may have better applications, such as the token of the medical industry.

There are many altcoins here in crypto currency that some of them are have to increase their prices immediately because of project platform and fast transaction in buying and selling i think these are the advantages of altcoins compare to bitcoin.

Most altcoin try to solve what bitcoin suffers a lot - transaction speeds, so I think it's main advantage of most altcoins against bitcoin. Privacy is also another factor, mode of obtaining the coins i.e. POS, DPOS, POI etc, against POW.

Agree, altcoin also serves as a token that is used to transact on a project platform. so someone can get a discount from using the altcoin to make a purchase. and also they can grow more prices in a shorter period of time.

Benefits of altcoint one of course for transaction costs cheaper than bitcoint, altcoint also many types you just choose the really - potentially for investment, altcoint also now the better progress

As for me, the advantage of altcoins from bitcoin is that there are many cheap price and affordable. Unlike bitcoin which is so expensive, altcoins can possibly gained more profits ahead. But we need to be smart enough in trading so that we can be able to achieved our desired profits.

I think that one of the best advantage of having altcoins is that you have choices in which where to invest and will give you an idea of how to find a better investment that will definitely gives better and more income and earning.

There are a lot of advantages of altcoin it really depends on what kind of altcoin you are currently holding or have or what altcoin are you planning to buy.

Altcoins have more volatility and unlike bitcoin some of them can grow several times. But do not forget that they can also fall several times.)

We definitely need altcoins to serve various purposes.Bitcoin is only for a store of value and for the other cases which use blockchain we need altcoins.

We can discuss technological comparisons, and of course altcoin is better than all parties.
But we participate in this field for profit, and the right altcoin will of course provide a larger percentage of profits.

Perhaps many altcoins have products and share dividends like stocks. But maybe that would not be a major consideration to support altcoin.
I further believe that fluctuations are a major consideration we prefer altcoin than Bitcoin.

The advantages is the uses or particularly some of this blockchains are being made to provide a better service because, bitcoin cannot made a platform like real estates, finance, protocols, and many more. Altcoins is subjected to give an opportunity for other systems or services that which a paltform maybe applied.

I think there will be many advantages of altcoin over Bitcoin, ranging from mining, transaction costs and liquidity. Although I do not think there is altcoin that will exceed Bitcoin, but the increase is several times more likely to occur in Altcoin than Bitcoin with the current price range.

My opinion is that the most important advantage of altcoins is that they are cheap and can jump at any time on 100-300%

I think that all the altcoin coins, as long as it is valuable, have their own technology and are reopened on the basis of bitcoin. So I think they have an advantage over Bitcoin.

advantage of altcoins is, you can transfer your assets onto each individual altcoins in the market, when your preferred one is digging into the dark, switch you assets into another one, meaning altcoins are options to choose not only to stay on it and do an investment for just a few but to switch onto each other to avoid losses from the recent one.

The advantage is that the growth rate is quite high if we take it hard, it may be extremely profitable for you than holding BTC and ETH.

The element approximately altcoins is that they help to cowl up some thing gaps that bitcoin leaves inside the market. If there may be a quarter or a service that bitcoin can't be used for then you could make sure that there's an altcoin available that could do precisely that for you as distinctive altcoins have differnect use instances

The main advantage of Altcoins is profit, various altcoins can be double easily and many altcoins that we see was raise 300 times and more .

Altcoin has the opportunity to grow faster and the price tends to be cheaper. In my opinion, altcoin is perfect for short-term investments. Opportunities to earn daily profits quite a lot, especially when the market is in green. The relatively fast price jumps can be used to make a profit.

The most advantages of altcoin is it is more cheap than bitcoin.

creative alts have a few highlights like shrewd contracts, shadring, pos mining, exchange speed is extremely pleasant, up to 15k tps. We are still in time when stage venture beats each orther to get their prominence and value for the general population.

altcoin was created to compete with bitcoin.  Because postpartum delivery is so late altcoin has many advantages compared to bitcoin.  altcoin is an alternate for bitcoin as it improves and addresses the disadvantages of bitcoin protocol.

One of altcoin advantage which I see is most Altcoin exchanges have a mobile app. The only thing that users have to do is scan a given product’s QR Code and then they pay automatically. Every transaction is thoroughly described in their account history. There are no hidden fees or transfer taxes. And also users who have acquired Altcoins via crypto mining or currency trading are the sole ones who have access to the said digital monetary sums. E-Wallets can be accessed only with the use of the private key which is owned by the account holder.

many profits that have been in the can of altcoin because by investing and trading also can get a good profit because in altcoin also many projects that promise and can be profitable in the future hence already a lot of get from altcoin

I think there are many things that distinguish between bitcoin and altcoin, first of all is the price, altcoin prices will be greatly influenced by the price of bitcoin and ETH, because generally altcoin prices are highly dependent on market value. the altcoin price is determined by the project issuing the ICOs when the ICOs reach Hardcap it is certain that the value of the altcoin will be valuable, whereas if it does not reach hardcap it can be seen that the altcoin will not penetrate the good sale price or may fail, while Bitcoin is not affected by the project whether it works or not, because Bitcoin is the digital currency that dominates cryptocurrency.

With the altcoins I have, there are many advantages to be honest. My coins PRG, ICX and Lisk are stable right now unlike btc and are working excellent in the market. They are totally worth investing in.

Well about the advantages I can say that altcoins are really great. As far as the comparison is concerned, I would say they are quite stable and have a lot of projects which can help in its incredible performance. My coins TAU, NEO and ADA are very good.

I will try to overpersuade you in that. Indeed it would be an advantage, if every altcoin's price in USD were the same as of BTC eventually. But, as we all know, this will never be the case. The most likely scenario for a good coin (let's forget about sh*tcoins for now) is rising with the same pace as that of Bitcoin, and thus your $200 may become $500 regardless of whether you've invested them in a "cheap" altcoin or in "expensive" Bitcoin.

Of course there are exceptions but they work both ways. Thus, investing in good altcoins you can either earn a bit more than from investing in BTC or a bit less.

With sh*tcoins is another story. It's like betting on a very weak team in sports or playing with a high multiplier in dice: you will win big time in case of winning, but most likely you will lose.

Overall, it depends on the purpose of the coins, but the main advantages that most altcoins have to BTC are related to transaction time, transaction fees, number of transactions, and so on. I think it's basically this.

For example, faster transactions than bitcoins or support for smart contracts. Advantages can be a lot.

Fast movement, I think the fluctuations that occur in altcoin very profitable, why? because we can take advantage of this rapid change of value to be profitable, altcoin like doge is great for use as a transaction with small fee, Another advantage is the concept that continues to grow.

The advantage of shanzhai currency is that during the bull market, the price of BTC will continue to rise. At that time, the profit efficiency of shanzhai currency will be much higher than that of BTC.

Most of them have another purpose, they're not all meant to be for payments.

if you are asking advantages of buying and trading altcoins, this is the most common way to increase your bitcoin amount. if you can predict the trend of an altcoin you can really make good profit in a very short time.

Firstly - price. Usually they are cheaper than BTC and many traders can buy some coins. Than - the growth of price can be at times bigger and can even be x15-x30 or even more.

According to me there many advantages with Alcoins, it has huge potential to give returns in the short also when you select the right Altcoin. The price of the Altcoins very cheap.

Many features are better than bitcoin, as we all know Bitcoin has a transaction time of more than ten minutes on average. And this can take several hours in cases thanks to very low block sizes. Altcoin like Dash and Ripple have managed to overcome this problem and have a clear advantage over Bitcoin at the moment. but some of altcoin exists only as the rest of the pump-and-disposal schemes intended to make their creators rich.

Yes altcoims can give huge profit and one of the key factor is the cheap price as altcoins are affordable to everyone and thus a huge investment goes towards altcoins and increases the value regardless of the project.

Honestly, I using altcoins for trading, and sending some money with it. Transfer fees from altcoins are cheaper and faster than bitcoin. That are advantages altcoin from my point of view.

Most times, when i want to invest in altcoins, i usually consider the return of investment (ROI). If you are fortunate enough to invest into good altcoins when their prices were low, by the time you sell after mooning, there is every tendency for you to realize more profit than when you invest in bitcoin.

Bitcoin was created in 2009 and since then the price has increased from 0.01$  to 7720$. Some altcoins have similar growth potential and buying some of them is a very profitable investment.

The most simple advantages that Altcoint has in my opinion are many types, so we can choose Altcoint if it has the potential and the price is cheaper than Bitcoint, investment in Altcoint is also good for the future

maybe the general answer of the investors is the cheaper transaction costs for me all that have advantages and disadvantages of each all depends on us in utilizing existing advantages

Altcoinsdo have advantages as bitcoin. A few that I will mention is that OT helps alleviate poverty,  and helps people to know more about technology.

Bitcoin is more advantageous than altcoins, but there are some edge altcoins have over bitcoin. One of it is that, if a good altcoin increases in price, it tends to be more profitable most times than bitcoin. Also, in line with profit making, altcoins can easily give short term profitable.

Having altcoins help you diversify your investment and you can get a particular coin doing better even when others seems to be losing certain % weekly. Diversity will help secure your investment. Altcoins have a better future especially those with real use case applicable to real life situation.

I think paractically all altcoins in top 10 better then BTC. Because they have own projects in different spheres but bitcoin is only coin.

there is an advantage over bitcoin is a slightly different product that was created

The advantage is very simple, they can give you a lot more profit than the ether and the cue ball, so AK Alty but grow from the old price where sank, 10-15 times and then more,as there are projects that are 20 times sank,and this is not what is surprising,so it is better than the Alt no investment now,but

The advantage of altcoins is certainly almost unlimited opportunities for growth, but on the other hand they also can fall many times in a short period of time

If we are talking about speculative side, the best advantage is there are still a lot of potential for a growth for altcoins. I mean you are still able to catch a good profit with altcoins in alt season (like 2-10x), when with BTC you should wait at least for a few month to catch percentage like this.

New projects can create better and faster blockchain. Then it is difficult to re-create true decentralization like bitcoin or ethereum did. A really fast blockchain with 20 nodes is not a real public blockchain

Clearly, the altcoin has features that the current bitcoin does not possess, as altcoin is created with a newer, more modern kind of code, different from bitcoin, such as NEO, Waves, Ethereum, EOS. They look a step ahead, though still new. It's just that they always lose in price competition with bitcoin.

From the scale, time and transaction costs will definitely be won by altcoin.
But perhaps this is closer to the issue of market capitalization.
Bitcoin is already very large, and many altcoins are still potential to experience big jumps.

Even if Bitcoin continues to be the most valuable cryptocurrency, there may be room for altcoins to serve some other niche and hence may not be bad bets in their own right.

There are  many projects who's source code undergoes significant and fundamentally important changes, after which the community gets a completely new product with wider application possibilities. Such altcoins step by step move the process of decentralization, become a kind of research base for brave experiments on the creation of unique crypto-currencies with properties that are not available until recently, and also create worthy competition to bitcoin, stimulating its development.

We all know bitcoin has a transaction time of over ten minutes on average. And this can take several hours in cases thanks to its very low block size. Altcoins like Dash and Ripple have successfully overcome this problem and has a clear advantage over bitcoin at this point.

Altcoins have the benefit of experience. Bitcoin was the first and therefore issues that have arisen, such as ASICs, weren’t thought of. Altcoins, on the other hand, can see where Bitcoin is going wrong and change their coin to prevent that from happening.

Yes, the altcoin usually has a higher margin of upside. Usually I don't need to invest too much money, but it will make me profitable, and although Bitcoin is stable, I usually only have double. Or about three times the profit

The first thing that immediately comes to mind is smart contacts. Ethereum was first. Now any blockchain has them. And bitcoin has remained a digital gold or just a means of accumulation.

I'm not sure one hundred percent but I believe that some altcoins have a better technology than bitcoin. But bitcoin is much more popular than all altcoins and it is more trusted. This means that bitcoin will always cost more than altcoins. But I think that Ethereum will become the main coin someday.

Altcoin is much cheaper, faster, cheaper transactions . Altcoin can make money much faster

It depends on what you want, Bitcoin is only suitable for long-term investment, patiently holding, you will get a lot of benefits from Bitcoin, but altcoin is suitable for short-term investment, thrown at the high point of the currency price, from Get a lot of money quickly,

Investing on hype altcoin is one of best way to make profits in short time period in cryptocurrency market. But there is a risk than investing on bitcoin or ethereum. Because of unstability of price of altcoins. Therefore If you can get your own risk in investing, you can make instant profits by altcoins.

Bitcoin has 2 main problems - the speed of transactions and the scalability of the network. In this case, bitcoin is very reliable, which is its huge advantage over the altcoins. Any of the altcoins solves only one of the problems of bitcoin, while the reliability of the network always suffers. The market will get a new impetus to development, when there will be a crypto currency that solves at least one of the problems of bitcoin, while remaining the same reliable.

For my own opinion bitcoin and altcoins have no differences, they both have advantages and disadvantages. Some says that altcoins has faster transaction speed but sometimes bitcoin is faster depending on the network. Some says bitcoin has high transaction fees, maybe because it has high value also.

Altcoins has platform which you can lean on to progress in the future unless bitcoins that is only depending on the peoples demand but obviously, the progress will be still depending on the developers work.

If the movement is fast, I think the fluctuations occurring in altcoin are very favorable, because we can take advantage of this rapid change of value to be profitable, altcoin like doge is great for use as a small cost transaction. Another advantage is the ever-evolving concept.

Many may know the advantages of cryptocurrency. however, briefly in my opinion, crypto can make this world better. It will make the world better in enhancing the technology, earning the money easily, developing online business and investment system, and other things related to payment and transaction methods. The difference advantages of the altcoins from the Bitcoin are likely they hold more advanced technology and concept behind the coin project.

Altcoins can give you a much larger profit than Bitcoin, and they also solve much more real world problems. On this, the advantages of altcoins before Bitcoin end.

I think the main advantage of altcoins is the price per transaction. Altcoins transfer is much cheaper than bitcoin.

main altcoins advantages are:

1) Built in VM, allowing to make complicated smart contracts (allowing transparent ICOs, DEX, games, etc etc)
2) Fast transactions = high TPS output. You don't need to wait 5-180 mins for just 1 BTC confirmation (ok, it's 10 min average blocktime :) )
3) Anonymity code implementation, built in (Monero, Zcash etc)

Good altcoin is developing much faster than BTC IMO...

I am stunned at the sort of altcoin on the grounds that this kind of exchange is mysterious and quick. Altcoin writes are extremely different and have their individual points of interest.

Altcoins can give you a much larger profit than Bitcoin, and they also solve much more real world problems. They have developers where you could talk to. And lastly, most of them have physical stores.

In a investors perspective altcoin is par better than bitcoin when it comes to possible potential for its the reason why many people tried to invest on different altcoins. A chance to increase your profit is also the reason why many people lose their earning since they dont consider the risk of altcoins.

lot of altcoins are more precise and fast compared to bitcoin as most flaws of bitcoin before are being fixed by new altcoins that being introduced to the market. other altcons coming out are been developed to improved those weakness that being found in bitcoin like speed and transfer cost.

Many altkoins have different advantages with respect to bitcoin. Here it is necessary to study more thoroughly any particular altcoyin in order to understand in what it exceeds the first crypto currency.

Most of them have another purpose, they're not all meant to be for payments.

Altcoins is more advatanges because the cheaper coin that you buy you can get more profit once altcoin price increase.
But better also if you have bitcoin and altcoin to earn more profit.

The advantage of altcoin is a cheaper cost than a relatively expensive bitcoin, altcoin is easier to mine, investment gains if you are good at reading market movements, when coin prices fall to buy a lot and sell when pumping coin prices, but there is a risk if coins are getting down and we basically have to expand our knowledge of cryptocurrency.

Altcoin is an alternative to Bitcoin, which was developed to improve Bitcoin's disadvantages - this is Altcoin's advantage over Bitcoin. In addition, there are a lot of Altcoin are trying to evolve to overtake Bitcoin, such as comparison of anonymity in the way transactions, Bitcoin has some strong competitors such as Dashcoin, Monero, Namecoin or Zcash coin. An important factor that some Altcoin has improved from Bitcoin is the transaction time, in which Litecoin and Fastcoin are two examples that improve the update time of each block. So when it comes to trading value, these Altcoins always have advantages over BTC due to the fast transaction processing speed.

The main advantage of altcoins lies in their small capitalization in comparison with the top coins. This advantage allows you to invest immediately in a large number of altcoins in the hope of potential growth. Suppose that we invested in 10 coins and only one coin gave a tangible profit - still our investments have already proved themselves!

I think the advantage is in terms of the price that the average altcoin is cheaper, so we can get more. Especially if the altcoin we buy has the potential to grow in the future.

The advantage of Altcoin over Bitcoin is: the number of multiple, every day more new altcoin appear; improve the disadvantages of Bitcoin; help diversify risk; cheaper transaction costs, faster transaction speed; Better off, offering better investment options, while others are more volatile and therefore more conducive to trading.

They represent really neat business projects and act as a hybrid between stocks and currency. Unlike stocks which can't be used for anything other than representation of the business, a lot of Altcoins can be used for actual

in my opinion, Advantages of altcoins is that they are less popular and at the beginning they can cost cheap.
You can get rich with alternative cryptocurrencies, not bitcoin.But with more time, you can get your fortune.
TO get rich by bitcoin you had to invest at least one year ago... its true... soo thats the advantages of altcoins..

In my opinion, the advantages are obvious. Altcoins have, in most cases, an affordable price. And as in the market, there is a good choice for crypto currency. They are promising and grow fast. And constantly you can see more and more new and interesting altcoins on the market.

The market of crypto currency is only being formed. Altoquin will cost more than once. So far, I'm investing in Altcoins!)  ;)

Actually it depends on the altcoin but it could be higher transaction speed and  anonymity

Well, it has more chance to grow than bitcoin, it's cheap and "young", altcoins is good investment for investors who lose Bitcoins chance. While bitcoin takes a long time to grow, altcoins prices can grow easily than Bitcoins.

Altcoins have very great advantage when it comes to investing in cryptocurrency. This is because, most of the altcoins are still at early development stage which means there is still very much room for growth and expansion of the coins in terms of price increase.

Altcoin has the following advantages:
1. Altcoin improves anonymity in transactions.
2. The velocity of a block of altcoin is much faster than bitcoin.
3. Altcoin can support coin owners and transfer them to recipients easily.

Altcoins have a very fast transaction. altcoins Is increasing the price very fast. You can easy to make a huge money in the short term without harmless. It's given us a freedom for the long term.

To me the main advantage of altcoins is their unique technologies.  The other amazing thing is that if everyone else agrees with you the tech is amazing the coin will shoot to the moon and you can enrich yourself.  Alcoins are awesome but very dangerous.

Transaction speed is higher due to the use of the algorithm improvements, more functionality, cheaper premium, but the current altcoin influenced too large by bitcoin

Altcoins are much cheaper than bitcoin for now and the most of them haven't still gained 100% of their potential price. That's why investments into promised coins may be such immensely profitable.

In my opinion, Each altcoins has its advantages and disadvantages.In one altcoin, the high speed of transactions in another privacy.Each crypto currency has its own positive features. each altcoin has a distinct advantage, because it focuses more on developing a functional technology that may be the solution of a problem that owned bitcoin.

The advantages of altcoyins are that a promising idea can get caught with a young and talented team that can bring huge profits.

Altcoins was created to fullfill the need of investment in cryptoworld for some of people who still don't have enough capital to investing in bitcoin. All of the altcoins are have the different projects. It depends on the company and investors who believed on them.

Advantage of altcoin is smaller capitalization and easier to hit x2-x100 and even jackpots, the smaller is capitalization the easier to increase it. But there is more risk to lose money too.

This depends on the product that they offer.It can be fast and cheap transactions, high bandwidth...many altcoins are more perfect than bitcoin-but they never catch up.

Well, to me the only benefit I see is that they can offer a higher percentage of increase when Bitcoin moons. For instance, Bitcoin may give you a 2% green in 24 hours but a good alt can give you about 10+ % in that same 24 hours, but it comes along with a risk that's why we always advice Bitcoin to be a first choice and then you perform your search well before selecting an altcoin.

The main advantage of altcoins it has cheaper price, so that's many people are choose it because mostly of user of crypto have only enough money to buy crypto, so they choose altcoin which is affordable but profitable. Also altcoin are getting more popular because some of them srtikes its value like in ETH, and there's a lot Altcoin have potential so that people are getting interested to it day by day. Aside from Bitcoin, some of Altcoin can be trusted to invest.

alt-coins are the branch in crypto currency that represents a product,alt has to be on specification, which represents  different product in cryptocurrency ,some alt have base increment than ether and bitcoin.

This is too much of a broad question to give a specific answer. Different altcoins serve different purposes, you should learn about as many of them as you can in order to understand the topic

investing altcoin moreover with ico coin like doing gambling. where we can get a bigger profit from ico coins because the percentage increase is infinite compared to the existing altcoin. but we also get a big risk if the coin can not survive in the market and lose its value then we will also lose our money.

innovative alts have a couple of features like savvy contracts, shadring, pos mining, trade speed is to a great degree lovely, up to 15k tps. We are still in time when organize wander beats each orther to get their unmistakable quality and incentive for the all inclusive community.

Some altcoins sometimes offer faster and cheaper transaction fees than bitcoin, with the wide varieties of alts you can put your investment to different one's to maximize profit. I prefer eth as a payment method since it's faster than btc confirmation.

Altcoins are mostly undervalued. Meaning, they have a low or small market cap which entails that there is a huge space for growth in terms of value. So if we are able to get hold of many of these alts, as time pass and demand for them increases, value also increases. Which means, we have most likely made a good investment.

Different altcoins have different more advanced features that bitcoin does not have. As for the price, buying them is much cheaper and if the coin is promising, it gives the opportunity to multiply your investment several times in a short period of time. Investing in bitcoin takes a long time to get a profit.

Actually most of the altcoins are in very startup and also they have very less price and due to very less price there is big chance that price of Thier can be easily up with small amount of the investors and that will result into big profit for the early holders .
And also here we can see that if there will be lots of altcoins then people can invest in them and that Results into big demand of bitcoin , and that will make the availablity of the bitcoin less in the world of cryptourrency market and that will leads into increase in the pricie of bitcoin , so why not we should remain positive to have the lots of numbers of the altcoins in the cryptocurrency market .
But still here we need to remain negative about to have altcoins , because in these days lots of altcoins are entering in the cryptocurrency market and few of them are just came to scam the people and investors through ICO project procedure .

There are a lot of focal points and detriments. all things considered, initially altcoins have group of designers expounding better approaches to speed exchanges with bring down charges, simply look at BTC and ETH, ethereum is far quicker and you don't need to pay excessively to exchange cash

Maybe the advantages of altcoins is, it is more reachable by small holder. You can buy altcoins in bigger fractions than bitcoin.
And if you compare the blocktime of bitcoin and altcoins, the altcoin block time is faster than bitcoin.
The transaction speed of altcoins mostly faster than bitcoin too.

Bitcoin most people will acknowledge is Crypto 1.0 it is simply for storing and transferring value and has very little additional functionality. After that we have altcoins ie anything that isnt Bitcoin the next one to push the boundaries was Ethereum that featured Smart contracts and added greater levels of functionality to Crypto and was dubbed Crypto 2.0. Now we are looking at faster ways to verify transactions and increase throughput as we move towards Crypto 3.0

I'm a small investor so alts are the only way I'll "hit it big". BTC is a nice hedge and you should own at least a sum, but it doesn't make sense to me to hold a large chunk of BTC unless I'm looking for "safe" investments.
BTC might get me 2x or 3x in the next few years, but a risky alt could get me 50x.

Its ability for higher transaction speed due to its algorithms and the its ability of easy to reach for users.

I think if you want to hold it for a long time then I suggest you invest in Bitcoin, because Bitcoin has low stability risk and is suitable for long-term investment, but it will earn less money. Altcoin recommends that you invest short-term and sell at high market prices. Out, you can make a lot of money in the short term, but relatively risky is not very stable

Advantage of altcoin is such thst different coin can have different uses and diffetent protocol or merged protocol  or achieve snything by experimenting different ideas that could be use to further propagate the ideals of blockchain and cryptocurrency!

My opinion: It will increase, only time is needed. Time is always above all, especially in any business, not immediately will be a huge profit, you need to wait, then wait. ;) ;) ;) ;)

the advantage of altcoyins is a smaller commission for transactions, it is more precise in the deferred spheres

Everything depends solely on each altcoins and the project that supports them!

One of the greatest advantage of a thrilling altcoin is that they often represent the testing of a theory that eventually benefit bitcoin itself.

The altcoin coin is created on the basis of bitcoin. Its technology is necessarily higher than Bitcoin.
The currency of the altcoin is fast, the anonymity is high, and the number of functions is increased. It is a new cash payment system.

Advantage of altcoin versus bitcoin is that you can invest on a lot of altcoins and can double or triple your initial investment but if you will invest in bitcoin, you are only investing on one coin. The profit potential in investing on altcoins is enormous, that’s assuming if you have a little patience and go with fairly reputable altcoins.

therea re a lot of advantages and disad antages that they have, you need to chooze aone particular altcoi

you can bet new skills and knowledge from learning lf operati g altcoins and mo ey, of course, if ylu choose wosely

There are quite a lot of different advantages, there are really private like Zcash and Monero, Ilikr them.

Many other altcoins help solve other problems that Bitcoin itself cannot. Like Etherium with its smart contract.

I do not see many advantages here. It is clear that no one will surpass bitcoin in the volume of operations.
The only plus of altcoins is their affordable price on the market at the moment and speed in carrying out the transaction.
Sincerely yours.

Most altcoins serve as a multipurpose token that is used to transact on a project platform.
With a coin like that, one can get a discount by using the altcoin to make a purchase.
So, maybe that is the advantage gained.

Bitcoin has very good stability, but Bitcoin can't make you get the benefits quickly, and Bitcoin can't make you make a lot of money. On the contrary, altcoin can let you get the benefits quickly, and you can get a lot of fast. Money, but unstable, with high risk

I use altcoin to trade, and send some money. Transfer fees from altcoin are cheaper and faster than bitcoin.
That's the advantage of altcoin from my point of view. So I can say altcoin is better, because it is very influential into my life.

The use cases are different for different altcoins. Then altcoins are way cheaper and one can make more profit trading altcoin with little capital, unlike bitcoin.

The current investment in altcoin is quite risky. But some pennies are still worth rising in the moment, most likely your analysis is really good to choose the coin as you like.

Currently for every altcoin try to provide more benefits and benefits for the crypto community. They want to solve the problem in crypto space now like a scalability problem. Altcoin has changed a lot of people's finances by providing many advantages. They have not been able to reach bitcoin levels, but are very close.

Most likely the altcoin is very suitable for someone to use to make profits every day because when the bitcoin exchange rate decreases it definitely affects the price of other altcoins so that someone who uses the altcoin for long-term investment is very risky.

Altcoin is also a profitable crypto currency. Altcoins is more advance then bitcoin and some Altcoin not just work as a currency also work as developer. Altcoin like Ethereum is more stable  and less volatile because of this this is used mainly for long term investment then that of bitcoin. Altcoins are also use as money transaction facility because of its fast secure safe transaction. Altcoins charges low transaction fees. Altcoins also used for online shopping and Altcoin also accepted by many institutions as tution fee.

Bitcoin again became the first crypto to introduce a new method of cash system, it was hitting another coin that was dreaming.
Then altcoin evolved with more precision and advanced usability.
Like instant transactions, cheaper cost, lower energy consumption, unlimited scalability, this makes the competition very complex and tight.

The only disadvantage I saw with altcoins over bitcoin is that it is utility specific. Say altcoin specific for gambling. They have coin specific for that matter only. Say an altcoin is product based, you would use such a coin to buy the specific product that only their coin will be used to buy it. So the earning goes straight to the altcoin.

There were so many advantages that we may get from Altcoins than Bitcoin. One of those things is that we will be able to earn in a short period of time with more than twice or thrice with our capital invested in Altcoins. Unlike Bitcoin, even it has a great value and the leading one in terms of high price but we will just get usually 5% because Bitcoin will just slowly increase.

the biggest advantage is that the potential of the subcoin section is high. When you invest in a successful project, it can make you rich for a moment. subcoin section usually improve itself.

Simple, the main altcoins advantage is their specification on specific project and service. You can't use btc on those project because they need to prioritize their own alternative coins.

For me, that is the clearest thing that I understand on alternative coins / tokens. I do learn a lot on this thread but not so sure or agreed on other post. But it will make sense at all.

Well done folks !

Of course altcoins are a lot cheaper than bitcoin. So people with less money will be able to invest too regarding it prices. But we need to keep in mind either that altcoins will be much more volatile in price than bitcoin.
Altcoins has more various number too, so it can provides us with more choices rather than just stuck on bitcoin or eth..

in general, altcoins often have a lot of supplies and can occasionally be full of shipping networks, while bitcoin has less supply and the shipping network is always fast.

the main advantage of bitcoin, the amount of traffic up and down so that the coin rate sometimes pumps quite high over the time of the campaign, so for traders more like playing on ico or altcoin b

Unlike bitcoin, altcoins can grow dozens of times, but it's worth remembering that they can fall much faster than bitcoin.

There are always many advantages and disadvantages in each coin. Altcoin has a team of developers who usually outlines better ways to speed up transactions at lower cost by comparison of BTC, ethereum is much faster and you do not have to pay too much to transfer money, simply more practical.

the advantages of altcoin that I know is we can make more bitcoin with altcoin. we have many options to buy the altcoin at the low price and sell at the high price. we can try to buy 5 altcoins and then hold it for a while and when the price increase, we can sell the altcoin to get more bitcoin. the more big balance of bitcoin you use to buy altcoin, the more chance for you to make a big profit in bitcoin too especially if the altcoin price can increase double than the price before.

Altcoins are more focused on some specific area or solving some specific problem. Bitcoin, in turn, acts only as the Internet gold, no more.

For me, the best advantage of the altcoins is their number. There are a lot of them on the market and you can always make a very good choice. Just learn a lot about the project and pick the best alts.

Coin Nebulas has a very low commission for the transfer of coins. For 1 coin, you can make a million transactions. It is also a very promising coin for investment

The most important advantage of buying alternative coins at an early stage is Bonuses. Bonus when buying can be from 20 to 50%

The upside potential in good new altcoins is much greater than in the established ones. Upside multiples can be a totally different game than in BTC, ETH and so on. You just need to do your research carefully and don't trust ICO listing sites etc. because ratings can be bought. Careful research is very important to avoid scams and other low quality projects - don't trust anyone but your own research!

I have been recently following Stellar that is generally on the rise and the tokens issued on the Stellar platform - now there is a bump like in any cryptocurrency over the past few days, but generally Stellar is on the rise because of the prospective Coinbase listing and other advances. This will also boost tokens issued on the Stellar platform...

My most recent find among alts is AXU, "Argentas Exchange Unit" token issued on the Stellar platform and listed and verified on the Stellarport decentralized exchange, now only at its pre-distribution, or pre-ICO phase. A true hidden diamond, with low profile so far. Experienced people clearly, and cool tech for decentralizing and revolutionizing global banking - their website at argentas.io (http://argentas.io).

The pre-ICO price is 50% cheaper than the ICO price, a sure winner IMO, and I will certainly get some. They also have an ANN thread, I think here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4431900.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4431900.0). I dug really deep in their content, and it is really cool stuff ;D But don’t forget your own research!

many altcoins promise greater transaction throughput than bitcoin but not many can boast of this as 90 % of the projects of the nent product

My opinion of the advantages of altcoins is as follows. Higher transaction speed. Increased anonymity. Bolie profitable maning. And so an increased number of functions.

that's true because to get a big profit in the altcoin it must be smart to choose coins that have very good potential in rising prices. and don't forget to also invest in bitcoin if you want to get a bigger profit but have to wait a long time to get it

They play an important role. It is known that decentralization is one of the key goals of BTC, and the Alt even more decentralize the scope of the Cryptocurrency. Moreover, they allow developers to experiment with unique functions. Finally, Altcoins provide competition to Bitcoin in the market, makes the developers of the blockchain support activity and strive for new innovations. Otherwise, the world's first crypto currency may lose its popularity and value

The altcoins , increasing the price very fast and the transaction and you can make a big money in the short term without hardworking and the harmless.

It fully depends on the altcoin, a altcoin has a specific feature, some altcoins are just needed for payment services, while other altcoins are just good in staking, and other is good for faster transaction speed that even it could compete with bitcoin. Many altcoins but it has a specific feature.

and all of the altcoins can give us another profit if we buy and sell the coin in the market. I agree with you, every altcoin has a different purpose and I am sure that every altcoin can help our lives to be better. in the future, we can use "A" coin to buy something, in the other time, we can use "B" coin to pay the fee, coin "C" for paying the internet connection and other else. this is what I hope from each coin so every coin in the cryptocurrency can integrate with the government's system and makes our life become better.

The following are the advantages of Altcoins are as follows:
1 Altcoins Help Resolve Daily Issues!
2 Individual Control Over Earnings!
3 Universally-Accessible 24/7!
4 Complete Anonymity & Protection of Personal Data!
5  Turning Mobile Payments into a Trend!

Alternative coins are great blessings because many people are supporting this investment which gives a great income also and I think that is their advantage in this organization, the support of the public.

Altcoin are great because it is not just one because there are varieties of them but there are some downside to it there are some scam as well so make sure you did your research to know what is scam and not

Since Bitcoin is king and it is very costly , so everyone can't afford to buy. But on the other hand, altcoins are many and of reasonable price which can be affordable to everyone. Also , with change in time , the altcoins are easy to access than Bitcoin.

The advantage of Altcoint in my opinion because this alcoint is of many types and certainly the price is cheaper than bitcoint so you can choose what you like and certainly must be smart to choose it if you are going to invest in altcoint, investing in altcoint is good for the short term

There is a broad assortment of assortments between altcoins. The trade costs, trade times, flexibility, can contrast. Moreover, a couple of coins don't use a square chain which could have a couple of points of interest and furthermore a couple of inconveniences. There are also altcoins that are planned for specific limits, for instance, stages for tokens, web of things, mining, security, et cetera. I think these assortments are fundamental since they fill different necessities.

I think the advantages of the company of alternativecoins are they are trusted company to the public at the same time they have a good quality of service and affordable price of the coins or investments.

Altcoin has several advantage over bitcoin..... Some Altcoin are design to solve the problem bitcoin is facing.... For instance transaction in bitcoin is slow and high, mining in bitcoin is expensive and requires more power but there are some altcoin that you can just mine them with your phone.

the biggest advantage of altcoin over bitcoin is that it can grow in price in a short time

Right, the thing is that bitcoin cannot actually end up doing everything or being used fully in every sector, so having a means where some altcoins really do fill up that space can help a lot. I am sure this was the reason satoshi made it an open source for further development in the future when it comes to blockchain technology.

Moreover, this does not mean bitcoin can still not have the full potential of being used, but the idea of a company being able to come up with its own standard and be able to utilize the blockchain to its advantage is what makes the altcoins come into play.

Advantages so much differ based on the coin or token being mentioned. The good thing about altcoin though in general, is that they have given the chance for the whole space to grow hugely and most especially came about with the existence of tokens in the market which is making it look more or less like stock market as it is with every single person globally having the chance to be a part of any market they want to without being secluded by any means at all.

bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency that exists and bitcoin introduces us to digital coins, then altcoins emerge as alternatives, bringing new technology, speed and convenience.

For me they are more acrive that can be used in trading and their common increasing supports the idea of holding even in the long term projects.

Altcoin has competition and this competition is keeping every coin on their toes not to slow on their development and growth plan. Altcoin rivalry will benefit investors more in the short to long term!

yes, when you have a patience you can gain big profit with your investment, its just that you have to have a good knowledge before investing into any or all of the altcoins.

The low risk of bitcoin stability is suitable for people to store for a long time, waiting patiently, but the income is small, altcoin I think that the risk relative to Bitcoin is high and volatile, very unstable, only suitable for people to hold in the short term, the income is huge, which is why people will Like to invest in altcoin

I think every altcoins have its own advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of Altcoin are very clear when compared to Bitcoin, the price is very cheap, many choices, low prices. As Bitcoin exchange rates become increasingly expensive, users are now trying to find other alternatives to invest or use existing crypto currencies. Altcoins have various types. Some altcoins are very potential because they have technology that supports a product to crypt. And various new concepts are very varied. Therefore, those are some advantages of altcoins.

What are the advantages of altcoin and bitcoin? I think it's very simple. Altcoin is risky, but it is very volatile. It is easy for people to make a lot of money. Bitcoin has small fluctuations and low risk, but now people can't make a lot of money from Bitcoin.

Because there are a few altcoins that are fixing bugs. But BTC is always leading. The combination of altcoins can't resist the BTC.

For me, altcoin has many advantages, one advantage is it gives to the individual money to sustain the basic needs, also the price is very cheap, many choices, low prices.

Because Bitcoin is the first Crypto, it can not be improved. The altcoins have improved the disadvantages of BTC and have more functions.

We call BTC as a mainstream of the cryptocurrency and can be paired with different altcoins. On the otherhand altcoins offers cheaper transaction fees, low cost, precise and attainable advantages.

new technology, speed of transaction, scalability. But in 99% of projects it is only "dust in the eyes" - just to make money

Alt coins and tokens have their own structure.
For example one token will focus on exchange services and the other one will focus on other industry.
But bitcoin is the king and controls all prices by himself.

Investments in any financial instrument have both positive and negative sides, altcoin is no exception. Before investing real money in altcoins, it is better to get acquainted with all the advantages and disadvantages.

Compared to bitcoin, altcoins are having less advantage in my opinion too. But some people are claiming that they are making huge profits than what they are saving in bitcoins. but no one share how they identify that particular coin. Altcoins are having advantages but not in the same level of what we can enjoy from bitcoins.

At least, so far, even if it is for short or long term profit, it is still an impact. I know over time a lot of things will be changing for the better and that implies more to altcoins with very good and usable product and not just those with empty promises. So far, the altcoin space is purely speculative, or will I say the crypto space in all, and this makes it more like a pump and dump environment, so for now, I would say profit is the only advantage, but as time goes on when we start seeing real life usage, then we can start talking about the other usable advantages.

The topic is way too broad. There are thousands of altcoins to be compared to bitcoin. Every altcoin provides a specific service or usage. One is different and can be the same as well. It depends on the coin you were referring to. In terms of price, bitcoin will still be the KING while others will just ride along with it. Alt coins provide an alternative way of investment since we all know that you can get more coin on ICO's or presale.

They are quite a number of advantages some of it which are Payment Freedom It is possible to send and receive bitcoins anywhere in the world at any time also
Less transaction Fees No fee to receive bitcoins. You can choose your transaction fee and many wallets let you control how large a fee to pay when spending.
Risk Free:- Bitcoin transactions are secure, irreversible, and do not contain customers’ sensitive or personal information.

What are the advantages of altcoin and bitcoin? I think the difference is that altcoin is very volatile, allowing people to get a lot of money quickly, while bitcoin is less volatile, only suitable for long-term holding, and can't make people get a lot of money.

the truth is that between bitcoin and altcoin in the same sense there is no difference, namely as a digital currency (the first digital Bitcoin digital currency appears.
Alternative altcoin coins, for allcoin payments faster and more able to change in transactions, because allcoin, new coins released by bitcoin

There are lots of benefits from the presence of altcoins in this crypto.
1. Make it easier for people to choose coins to invest at affordable and varied prices
2. As an alternative community in generating income from sources other than bitcoin
3. Provide information about altcoins that are worth investing in

Technically, altcoins offer more utility than bitcoin.  With bitcoin's primary purpose being a digital cash (which was intended for payments), altcoins have more features.

Altcoins can be used as payments, a utility token to avail products and services, and could be a platform for other altcoins & tokens too. It can serve a multitude of service, feature and purpose. It is not solely tied for digital payments and store of value like bitcoin.

And to date, there are altcoins that are faster to confirm and can accommodate more transactions per block than bitcoin can.

Actually Bitcoin is riskier than a lot of alts which are backed by real business and value creation.
The future of Bitcoin is very uncertain. I still agree that most alts are useless though.

Bitcoin's technology is quite developed on the crypto market. But there are many new Altcoins (like Litecoin), which have a higher transaction processing speed, and are also updated more quickly in the Blockchain system.

depending on each altcoin. like, some altcoins have PoS systems. some use altcoin as payment. like Tron. allows paying porn sites with Tron (TRX). and various other benefits.

Altcoin are a riskier investment but potentially much more profitable (i you find the right ones and with an favourable overall market). The problem is there are too many of them, investors are too divided (and many are useless except for speculation).

On the other hand at the technology level some surpass BTC in many domains (if we look only transfer speeds and costs, BTC is obsolete)
For the moment it's mainly speculation side that's at play, I have the feeling that projects are taking second place  :-\

https://medium.com/@optitoken.io/hyperdeflationary-monetary-systems-why-they-should-be-owned-and-utilized-1a34bc2a7536

Altcoins are bringing new ideas and solutions of today's problems. Also in trading, they are sometimes more profitable that Bitcoin is.

I agree. Altcoins offer advantages that Bitcoin can't and they are also create competition to other coins and Bitcoin. They are a good addition to any portfolio.

The main advantage of the Altkoks is that you can increase your btc-holding, while you in turn increase dollars.

Well, from my experience and what I have gained from crypto, I would say no matter what the move of crypto, I would always prefer altcoins to bitcoin going by the fact that one tend to make more profits either from daily trading or long term investment from altcoins than bitcoin

i also think like that,
in some cases altcoin can indeed be relied on to make a profit, because altcoin prices can suddenly be very high (although not comparable to the price of bitcoin) but many people benefit in a short time when trading.

but unfortunately, altcoin rarely lasts for a long time.  :(

Its depend of altcoin, some of them are anonymous via TOR, other are POS, other have lower fees There is a lot of other specificity, you can check it on the project website usually. It can be some huge advantage for investments, But as usual, their value are less stable than bitcoin , so care :)

Today I compared the prices of popular altcoins and bitcoin on August 23, 2017 and August 23, 2018 and the result of the comparison was not in favor of altcoins. Today, bitcoin is a more reliable and stable means of investment than altcoins.

It depends what are you looking to get from cryptocurrency. Some alts with low total capitalisation have the potential to give huge profit for you. Some alts like Ethereum have the more complex technology and able to support smart contracts.

These're several reasons. The difficulty of mining BTC is more and more overtime, but new Altcoin it's so easier. The speed of transaction is also anther reason.
I heard many people said but not sure, but they said that the other Altcoins the security is improved.

Their great plus for me is activity which allow me to do everything that I want with them. Trading is more profitable with them thanks to this characteristic.

Bitcoin right now is merely recovering to its loss, and as an alternative way of profit earning, investing in some alts that are cheaper to its regular price will be more valuable in this days.

It's not about the difficulty of bitcoin. But the scalability problem of bitcoin has created a lot of fear and a lot of people are trying to search the blockchain with scalability improvement that used on altcoin.
Altcoin has used a  lot of the algorithm and you can see that how a lot of them have been building on the different programming language.

I think that the major advantage that altcoins have is that they are way more cheaper than Bitcoin, and people think that it is a good thing to invest in seeing that when you put in some funds into it, you will be getting so much coins, and when the value of the coins increases, there is a higher chance of getting more profits from your investment.

We all know that alt come in this market with only one motive to take place of btc. So they make a list where they write down all the lacking of BTC and they work on it to make alt is better then btc and they work really hard on it. See we all know that btc transaction system took so long time where the alt system is very fast the upgrade system of alt is very protective and the algorithm is very strong of compare to btc. Alt has a very good throughput system which is far better then btc.so we can admire that alt has done a great job but still, it has to wait for a very long period of time to replace the btc who knows maybe btc is also upgrading then self after all its the king of them all. Let's see what happen next.

I just investing some of my salary on ico, i regularly buy 0.1-0.5 eth every month, im looking for gain in value, because altcoins having the best chance to rising rather than bitcoin for now, but also im still buying bitcoin too on monthly basis

Unfortunately, we will have to stay from the side. So bad that the main face smart contracts - Ethereum, but not a  Ethereum classic. Only ETC have a main principle the blockchain it's   absence of interference in history transactions.

More part investors, prefer  the main in altcoins- small capitalization. It's means they can to get the more income than on the investments in Bitcoin.
On the every plus also can be minus. In this system it will be very high risk.

Some altcoins created to overcome bitcoin problems. For example LTC is created with faster confirmation time, and cheaper transaction fee.
ETH is created to improve transaction speed by using erc20 token and smart contract in their network. So, there are features that different from bitcoin in altcoins.

Altcoins Offer solutions to every day needs such as lenders, medical files , etc which can make them very valuable and a good option to make money on. but the main advantage of  altcoin is that altcoins are much cheaper than bitcoin.

indeed for products from Altcoin is adopted so much now and in my opinion this is one of the good developments for the future for the altcoin to be able to move in the real sector

Altcoin is more flexible and can be adapted to different case scenario.  Altcoin is dependent on bitcoin for value, but the time are coming when quality altcoin will be so valuable by itself and become a good competitor to bitcoin!

For me, alt coins have a lot of advantages compared to bitcoins mainly, the use, the price, and the features per token. There are countless amount of alt coins out there that are way more useful than bitcoins and most of them are cheap. The features, on the other hand, are no joke. Alt coins are pretty meaty when it comes to features.

I think it is still a really good platform that brings a lot of innovation to the market, the thing is that most people are focusing in it's monetary value for trading, and with a lot of altcoins coming out every day, ethereum keeps dropping in value because there is more competition.

For me, altcoin has many advantages, one advantage is it gives to the individual money to sustain the basic needs, also the price is very cheap, many choices, low prices.

Altcoin makes it easier for icos to be established. Altcoin serves as competiting counterpart for bitcoin as such make bitcoin to be more serious.

I think altcoins gain margin can be higher than bitcoin because they can grow massively when it comes to price within a short period of time and this is one of its greatest advantage over Bitcoin

I thanks altcoins like waves , ethereum and neo make it easy for people to create a project to solve a problem and this is one of the outstanding features of altcoins

That is the positive advantages and values possessed by Altcoin. Altcoin prices can indeed change quickly and even these changes have a tremendous impact. This significant change makes opportunities for many people to take big profits too. So if we want to find things to be used as an investment then Altcoin is a good choice, but behind it all that you must pay attention to what risks might be obtained.

After the algorithm of blockchain was know, most developers improved upon it and brought their tokens and project/product as well. This has brought about a very high transaction speed in some alts. Developers who want to enter into cryptos also do everything in their power to bring a meaningful project. This has brought innovative ideas.

Bitcoin was created in 2009 and since then the price has increased from 0.01$  to 7720$. Some altcoins have similar growth potential and buying some of them is a very profitable investment. ;) ;)

The advantage of the altcoin is the altcoin has a several varieties that bitcoin does not have bitcoin is a single one but on altcoin there are a lot and also the bitcoin is the father and the altcoin cannot beat the price of the btc

the advantages of altcoins is a token that you can hold until the market value increases for sales. The coins you invest you will wait to raise your money until you recover it.

I think we can buy a lot of altcoins and that is an advantage. because we don't just depend on 1 coin when investing. So investing in potential altcoins is an advantage and I think that will reduce the risk in the future.

Altcoins have the benefit of experience. Bitcoin was the first and therefore issues that have arisen, such as ASICs, weren’t thought of. Altcoins, on the other hand, can see where Bitcoin is going wrong and change their coin to prevent that from happening.

Altcoins have a market capitalization less than that of bitcoin.If you want to get more profit,it is better to buy altcoins,in the hope that they will repeat the fate of bitcoin.

growth from altcoins is quite large. even now it's very high. but it is also very large the risk behind it with a rapid decline. we really need to be careful in choosing Altcoin as our investment

Altcoin is also a profitable crypto currency. Altcoins are more advanced so bitcoin and some Altcoins do not only function as currencies also work as developers. Altcoins such as Ethereum are more stable and less stable because they are used primarily for long-term investments from bitcoin. Altcoin is also used as a money transaction facility because secure transactions are fast safe. Altcoin charges low transaction fees.

Altcoins have a lot of different advantages. Some altcoins work much faster than bitcoin. Some altcoins are much more anonymous and secure than bitcoin. Some altcoins have more advanced technology. I love altcoins and I think that in the future the main coin will be some sort of altcoin for example Ethereum.

Perhaps what distinguishes altcoins from bitcoin is the amount and variety of altcoins that offer something different from bitcoin. The advantage of Altcoins itself is that it has a variety of coins and that will certainly be an opportunity for investors to invest more. That's just my opinion.

Depends on the coin.
There is a lot of altcoins and each of them has its own application.
If you talk about trading on the exchange, altcoins often grow in% faster than bitcoin. They have a large volotility. The price of altcoins is much less than the bitcoin price.

Some altcoins are better than bitcoin. But bitcoin has one main advantage-capitalization. No altcoin has such a large capitalization as bitcoin.

You can use altcoins as some kind of variably currency. You can transfer your main funds into stable altcoins to keep them safe with a chance to even get some benefits from it.

There are a lot of advantages when it comes to the altcoins but one that they bring that bitcoin does not is the increased supply of coins. I know that there are way too much altcoins in the market than we actually need but we do need altcoins to cover the gap that bitcoin leaves since it certainly cannot serve the whole of the world on its own anyway.

There are lots of advantages of using alt but the main question Is which alt you are talking about see. There are many altcoins are in this market which are very powerful only in there platform. Another side they use as a token.

So we are now compering to BTC to alt no doubt BTC has some weak point like slow transfer system on the other hand alt has the fastest transfer system and it makes alt one step ahead form btc.
Alt is throughout system pow algorithm and throughput system is also very good form BTC but the king is king and its BTC no doubt.

The biggest advantage of altcoins is that it is more flexible for the commercial field. To some extent, some tokens are equivalent to the company's stock, you can enjoy the rights to share the dividend, but now the token market is not optimistic.

In an altcoin, high transaction speed is in another privacy. Each type of electronic money has its own positive features that this kind of money is appreciated by people.

Developers who want to get into crypto also do everything in their power to bring meaningful projects. This has brought innovative ideas.
Once the blockchain algorithm is known, most developers increase it and carry their tokens and projects / products as well. This has resulted in very high transaction speeds in several alts.

I think altcoin should have a lot of advantages and overcome the weakness of bitcoin. Such as fast, secure and low cost

In my opinion, the main advantage in the speed of price growth. All the rest is pure water is a lie. Everything is based on trust

Definitely you're right thats the main reason why altcoin has its greatest potential also in the market..  Because everyone or every projects aim to surpass Bitcoin in the future thats why until now they are finding a way in order to develop more..  That goals makes altcoin great..  But still until today Bitcoin is on the top...

too many people here only to grab quick money, even the main advantage of alts on their opinion is the speed of price growth  :D and what about the speed of price falling?

Yes, of course I am amazed at the type of altcoin because this type of transaction is anonymous and very fast. This type of Altcoin is very diverse and has its advantages. Altcoin has the benefit of the first Bitcoin experience.

There are very interesting advantages of some alternative coins, these coins, for unknown reasons, begin to grow very rapidly in value, and bring to their owners huge heaps of money.

lot,s of Advantages of altcoins the advantages of altcoin are its easy-to-reach price and its many suppliers, while bitcoin is always superior in price and out of supply, that's what I know. If you want to get more profit, it is better to buy altcoins, in the hope that they will repeat the fate of bitcoin.

Altcoin does have many advantages when compared to Bitcoin.
One of the advantages of ALtcoin is the altcoin transfer speed is faster than Bitcoin.
bitcoin is certainly cheaper in price but the coin specifications are good while Bitcoin is very expensive for investment.
I think altcoin is better than Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is only in popularity.

What are the main differences between altcoins and bitcoins? First of all, these are risks and profits. Altcoins give the opportunity to earn much more than bitcoins, but the risks are much higher. This is the main difference.

The new altcoins which are coming to market today are based on better technology and algorithms than the old coins. They have better transaction fees, transaction fees is also low and they provide many features like Privcy and stealth address etc.

It's cheaper than bitcoin and can choose an altcoin that can be bought on the exchange. altcoin has the potential to experience high increases and fast transactions.

  There are many coins that have a small price. This is their main advantage. In the rest they lose. Rarely can you increase your balance. :o

I think that the situation has a lot to do with the amount of people that want to use a coin for a specific thing.

In my opinion, it is a very fast transaction and you can trade in the short term and to make a big profit. some coin has a good profitable for the long/short term.

The main advantage is possibility to apply innovations. Right now, the are of Security Tokens is going to begin. A great example of those, would be Corl.

Corl is the world’s first token to represent equity ownership in a company that provides revenue-sharing financing to high-potential early-revenue companies.

Unlike traditional tokens on the market, CRL is based on a profit-sharing model where investors receive a continuous stream of quarterly dividends in the form of ETH, based on future earnings of Corl.

The advantage lies in scalability (in some altcoins it is several times higher than in bitcoin). Also the introduction of innovative functions such as smart contracts.

The advantages of each altcoin must be different. depending on the initial purpose of their project. usually the coin will affect the continuity of the project or it can also get benefits and benefits if we hold the coin. The point is back again to the project they use coins for what.

altcoin was created to compete with bitcoin.  Because postpartum delivery is so late altcoin has many advantages compared to bitcoin.  altcoin is an alternate for bitcoin as it improves and addresses the disadvantages of bitcoin protocol.

In fact, the topic is very extensive. So once all the benefits and do not tell. To begin with, the choice of altcoins available today is simply enormous. Each of them offers its own service and technology of work. They may appear to be the same, but they are actually different. I like the variety of options, fast transactions and a developed alternative community.

The main advantage is that they are an alternative to BTC, they give a wide choice of different coins for each investor and user. Of course, this option of investment is more risky, but in the long term it has the potential much more if it is possible to choose suitable coins.

The main advantage of the altcoins is that they grow in price faster then Bitcoin. But altcoins also fall faster then btc... 

I see that black market transactions are still mostly used only BTC is the only payment method, I occasionally encounter some transactions that accept other methods such as Dash or Zcash. So in my opinion BTC is still more practical than the current altcoin

I believe that altcoins are better bitcoins because they have more transaction speed and have more functions.

In order to answer this question it is necessary to understand that all altcoins are different and investments in them will also give different results. Some investments will bring losses, some investments will bring a much larger profit than bitcoin ... because everything depends on the project that creates this altcoin.

At once it is necessary to take into account obvious lacks of work with altcoins. They are a rather risky option for investment. Their choice is very large, and many of them are almost useless, except for speculation. But in the future they have a higher potential compared to BTC, there are opportunities to find a coin with very rapid growth.

The main advantages of altcoins that I can think of includea the following:
Altcoin has more profitable mining
Altcoin usually improve anonymity
Altcoin usually increases numbers of function
Altcoin has high trade speed due to the use of improved algorithms
Altcoin is versatile in nature etc.

Altcoins have more volatility and unlike Btc some of them can grow several times. But do not forget that they can also fall several times.

All the altcoins have their own type of advantage.
They are created to meet the needs of new things, It can be created to make a single one solution or for multiple solutions as other coins cannot do.

It seems like a lot of difference between bitcoin and altcoin. I am a beginner who still has very little knowledge about cryptocurrency. So I don't know what to answer about your question. What is certain is that I will continue to learn to learn knowledge about this. Seklias I know that altcoin is very much interested because the exchange process is faster than bitcoin.

The main advantage for most traders when working with altcoins is precisely their speculative component - wide opportunities for earnings on trade. Although there is another advantage - good speed and convenience of transactions. Moreover, now it's getting harder to get the BTC, altcoins can become a profitable alternative.

It's true like that because Bitcoin requires some confirmation to arrive at the destination wallet.

But Altcoins has a fast start, for example TRON.
Tron has good speed for transactions, you can try it on the local exchange and send it to the Singapore Exchange.

Its speed is difficult for Altcoins to accept because many altcoins have transfer rates that exceed the Bitcoin.
Bitcoin requires some confirmation to arrive at the destination wallet, but with altcoins only a little confirmation.

I see the functions of Altcoins DOGE and NPXS if the two coins are very cheap for artbitration.
If Bitcoin requires 50,000 satosih then the NPXS and DOGE may be around 100 NPXS or around 2,200 Satoshi.

The benefits of Altcoin cannot be ascertained the amount you will receive until the sale token ends because token sale has a large influence on how much you get the Altcoin.

each altcoin has another purpose and another project. some of them are just tokens some of them are coins. some of them are a unique blockchain solution that provides better blockchains for us. so you can not genaralise it like that.

When the prices are high enough Altcoin and generate a lot more development being the biggest advantage with having the Altcoin. In addition Altcoin will be very beneficial by trading for now.
 developing Altcoin ability capable of making it being one that continues to support its growth.

Most Altcoin exchanges have a mobile app. The only thing that users have to do is scan a given product’s QR Code and then they pay automatically. Every transaction is thoroughly described in their account history. There are no hidden fees or transfer taxes. It is time to forget about the lousy signing-up process and the subsequent swiping of the debit or credit card, typing in a PIN or placing a virtual signature, and then waiting for approval. The future is here!

The advantage of altcoin is that it is made so that it is often applied to modern technologies. In addition, because altcoin is relatively low in value at the beginning, it can be beneficial to invest properly. huge leap. These are the reasons often invest in altcoin.

With alt coins, if you tons of features to choose from if you dig deep enough to a variety of tokens to choose from this huge pool of alt coins. You can also buy most alt coins at a fairly cheaper price compared to bitcoins and they're highly potential to become the next bitcoin killer.

Indeed, to me the main advantage I see is that they can offer a higher level of increment when Bitcoin moons. For example, Bitcoin may give you a 2% green in 24 hours however a decent alt can give you around 10+ % in that same 24 hours, yet it joins a hazard that is the reason we generally exhortation Bitcoin to be a first decision and after that you play out your pursuit a long time before choosing an altcoin.

Altcoin can even give you 100% to 200% profit quickly if large investors pump coins. especially if in the long run, a decent Altcoin can increase very far from the previous price, for example ETH, which used to be only a few dollars but at the end of last year it could reach more than $ 1000. so investing in Altcoin is great if you can choose and analyze it with correct.

in short, any disadvantage of bitcoin is the advantages of altcoin, each generation of blockchain is created to solve problem due to the previous version. newer coin certainly better in terms of technology.

Many altcoin are constantly growing despite market downturn, which is the quality altcoin, the most potent altcoin, but to choose these coins requires you to have analytical knowledge.

Altcoins are diverse and more decentralized than bitckin. therefore i5s is now easy trade it within the trading center.there are altcoins out there which are more active than the rest.

the one born here is still the first bitcoin, because his role in cyptocerunncy is always there no matter what the market conditions are, so after bitcoin, born is the name of the altcoin that acts as a helper in every bitcoin task

The most important thing that brought the Altcoins - this is smart contacts. At the same time, Ethereum became a pioneer. At present, every blockchain has a smart contract. Bitcoin remained the great founder of crypto, digital gold.

Transaction speed, anonymity and sometimes uniqueness in the idea. Well, stronger volatility makes them a good way to make profit on day trading. So the future is for alts.

New coins and tokens, as a rule, already have a high level of scalability and low commission fees. Also, altcoins themselves are very diverse in their functions, and tokens are mainly used in narrow areas of our life and are very useful from a practical point of view. It is impossible not to mention their low cost. Bitcoin is relatively very expensive and investing in it because of this already represents a certain risk.

Altcoins can offer more better features than Bitcoin. They are younger, constantly updated and they are more interesting in some way. For example: IOTA is created to support internet of things idea.

You can use altcoins as some kind of variably currency. You can transfer your main funds into stable altcoins to keep them safe with a chance to even get some benefits from it.                                               

I think that now it makes no sense to invest in altcoins :(

Bitcoin is the most trusted coin on our market, but Altcoins are much faster. BTC allows only 7 TPS and it is very slow in 2018. Ripple for example is around 1500 TPS. Furthermore, altcoins allow much cheaper transactions than BTC.

Altcoin a lot of progression which produces pretty good progress. It is very capable of carrying the progress that is so nice and generates such a high price in the future. so with the high price is able to give even more profits in the future.

in altcoins and we can see pos and mn coins from those coins we can get more rewards from the staking, it is the easiest way to get more profit.

of course you will get the benefits of Altcoin, Altcoin will give you money if the value of your coins goes up high. Altcoin has the potential and good quality will give you a big advantage if you are good at managing it. Altcoin has many advantages and depends on what coins are very profitable.

Bitcoin is already expensive and I can't reach it if I buy it in large quantities and expect big profits, but with an altcoin that is relatively cheap / low we can have it in large quantities which can one day be valuable and with multiple profits from sales proceeds

agree.
Also you get invest your time (not money) to altcoins (for example to help promote, to make translation etc). 

The most important advantage altcoins have is that their teams can learn from the mistakes that the pioneers made. The first to be always more difficult.

I think bitcoin has more advantages over altcoins than they do to it. Bitcoin is known to be a pioneer, recognizing only the principles of decentralization, universal democracy and consensus. Mr. Nakamoto, having generously provided the source code for public access, most likely pursued several goals. First: find a significant number of allies in the struggle for survival. Although the main striking force was and continues to be Bitcoin itself. Second, despite the presence of a springboard for an offensive prepared by the pioneer for other crypto-currency assets, the latter, and especially numerous forks, are an example of a kind of telegony. That is, many of them have managed to achieve some success, but they continue to remain in the shadow of the glory of the first digital currency.

by investing on good and great altcoins you can collect more bitcoin in your wallet
remember only buy a good altcoins and do not buy a shit alt,,
a good alt will increase its value in bitcoin terms, slowly but surely, wich mean you will get a bitcoin as your profit
then when the price of bitcoin rising,, and thats what we want if we have a good amount of bitcoin right ?

the advantages of altcoins they can mooning, it's profitable, the transaction fee is low, but there is disadvantage of it they can dump and will be dead so make sure you research one of the altcoins that you like to invest, trade or transferring funds.

I'm not sure that in the future alternative currencies will be needed to peoples. Creating alts is a way to attract investment. The main bulk of alts is unnecessary to anyone. Perhaps in the future, the coins of some projects turn into digital securities.

I think all crypto can go to the moon. all depends on the development and progress of the coin. if it moves well and gets a good response from the market I think it will be able to the moon. many new altcoin cases are missing from the market because the team of developers is not responsible and just leaves the project.

Yes altcoin is of course, different from bitcoin. The algorithm of btc mining is PoW, while the other coins have PoS algo.
The blocktime, transaction speed, fees, and total supply are different too. But they are still same, cryptocurrencies.
I prefer to using altcoins because it has faster blocktime speed for doing transactions.

Altcoin is an alternative coin, so it can be used as an alternative way for investors who don't have a lot of capital. because the price of Altcoin tends to be cheaper than BTC

For me, an important advantage is the low price - I can invest the money that I am willing to lose. It should also be borne in mind that today the number of reliable and promising altcoins is quite large, you can distribute your investments and reduce risks.
