Alt coin basically is the same with bitcoin all of them are digital currency, the differences is the coin offered a different features, like cheaper transaction fee and more anonymous an etc, but most of the alt coin being created is because the developer want to try to be rich with the coin that they created
So what is the purpose of us to use altcoin? Is it safe to join any signature campaign based on altcoins?
It is your choice whether you want to use a particular coin and you can join any signature campaign if there is an opening. I use litecoin and Ethereum to wage a bet in sports because they have faster confirmation times and lower transaction fees,so it is convenient for me to use those alts and the rest of the coins are used only for trading purposes.

Is it safe to join any signature campaign based on altcoins?
No one can say it's safe or not when you have joined in campaign based on altcoins. Back then, there are few of altcoin project which ended scam, i.e OPAIR, EBITZ, and recently ASC. The result is like you know, their participant don't get paid (except ASC) because the dev ran away with their investor's money. When you joined in any altcoin campaign, make sure you already know about the risk.
Yes that  is too much important to be careful, as there already some cases in which the altcoin declare as scam and they take the money of the  investors, they even do not pay to their employees therefore  it is too much important to work  always in such places where you are conform that they will not  scam you and will not take your money.

The argument between altcoins will always go back and forth depending on who is advancing the argument. For me, I believe the myth of superiority surrounding Bitcoin that makes people regard other cryptocurrencies as altcoins has been broken with Bitcoin's dwindling dominance in the crypto market. Though Bitcoin remains on top in the coin market, it's dominance at over 87% has seriously dropped to around 50% at the moment.

A time will come when that dichotomy between Bitcoin and other cryptos will no longer exist. Then Bitcoin will become an alternative coin too.

yes every one has their own choice and everyone has the right to invest in any altcoin where he consider himself more safe and secure and where he consider to make good profit. to me I personally investing in so many different altcoin. some are cheap but having good potential to increase their price.

I actually want to know about a summary of altcoin. What is the use of it and how can i know about the amount of Bitcoin through it?

What is the main difference between them? If we are using bitcoin, then what is main purpose of using altcoin? Please kindly give a clear concept about it.

Thanks in advance.
Bitcoin is the pioneer of crypto currencies.Due to its huge success,more altcoins were created promising to deliver some features like anonymity,low transaction fee which bitcoins don't provide.Altcoins are bought by investors to increase their bitcoin volume.Though some coins are legit,most of newly released coins are just scam coins.They are just pumped and dumped.

Altcoins are pretty diverse now, they can be used as an actual currency, a more anonymous alternative for bitcoin, as a share for a company, as a fundraiser token for a certain cause, etc. Every single one of them is unique in a way, something common among many of them unfortunately is that the developers are actually scammers or they just give up the project.

where they can be used as a currency? none of the altcoin minus monero can be used as a currency, altcoin are useless for that, bitcoin is the king for that reason, and they are not all unique like you said many are copy paste useless scam lol, there is nothing unique about them, only maybe the top 10 are unique all the other are clone of those top 10 or clone of bitcoin itself

That's why I said "in a way", I realize that most of them are clones but most of the devs claim there will be something different about them and they will end up being successful where others have failed.

Altcoins are the alternative cryptocurrencies launched after the success of Bitcoin. Generally, they project themselves as better substitutes to Bitcoin. The success of Bitcoin as the first peer-to-peer digital currency paved the way for many to follow. Many altcoins are trying to target any perceived limitations that Bitcoin has and come up with newer versions with competitive advantages. There is a great variety of altcoins.

Altcoin exists to provide features of what bitcoin doesn't have yet. For example, the SONM project is a new altcoin project that pretends to replace the PoW method that bitcoin currently uses in order to mine new bitcoins. The SONM project has many other features as well, features like Fog computing, scientific computing, climate calculation, just to mention a few. Bitcoin, for example, doesn't have smart contracts yet, and for that, there are other dev teams of new altcoins working on that.

I think it is better that you ask about a particular coin you like or are interested, because there are so many coins that is impossible to give a summary and the difference between the coins.

Bitcoin made a path for all others and its technology will be used in many new projects, including those corporate. We must accept this fact they are here, and will stay, some of them will be very useful, this has nothing with future of Bitcoin.

Altcoin I think it's just an alternative coin that you can use as an investment tool besides Bitcoin, so it can also make it easier for investors to hold big bags as well as bitcoin and make altcoin exchange trading site to bitcoin

Altcoin almost the same as Bitcoin, the price can not be predicted to jump so quickly, can also go down very swiftly. The amount of Altcoin in circulation can also increase without anyone being able to control it. These factors make Altcoin's future bright. Altcoin can also be an alternative for us to collect bitcoin, after collected we can exchange it with bitcoin.

Yes, many of these Altcoins are created for crowdfunding and they can only be good for trading purposes where they are paired with Bitcoin or other fiat currencies. It's just not enough we should be able to spend Altcoins like Bitcoin.

Altcoins also can be projects that has a platform to what is its purpose to the community. Some altcoins can function like social media with steemit. Other can connect you to other banks like ripple and also to make your own project like era although eth has many more as it is centralized. Alt coins are not about the price but on what it can do to help its members. Some alts also has the same purpose but with a bit of differences

Thanks in advance.
In the starting the  other developers made Thier own coin like the Bitcoin but at that time the main concept was to make the altcoin was only to make another way of buying assets like altcoin .
But in the last 4 years many altcoins entered in the Bitcoin field and made a competition and gave the opportunity for us to use the desired coin according our interest .
Currently many altcoin goin down and up very speedly , so people can buy altcoins with the help of Bitcoin and can make the profit more speedily in the virtual market .
Since trading needed experience in this field and also need money or btc in the starting to invest .
Be careful that one coin can make millionaire to you and also one can loss your investment also , so use your own mind with negative and Positive thinking to use Bitcoin/altcoin trading .

Maybe for me now altcoin is an alternative to my activities in bitcoin both in doing shipping and trading transactions, because altcoin has a cheaper transaction tax when compared with bitcoin.
