With BTC Problems, I would Like to Look at an EASY to use Alt

[bbc.reporter]

I agree with everyone who said litecoin. It has the closest characteristics to bitcoin but slightly faster and has more exciting possibilities after the activation of segwit. The Lightning Network will be pivotal in its development.

I am *completely new* to Altcoins, but am getting fed-up with the problems of Bitcoin confirmation times and high fees.  I am considering alternatives for some of my crypto holdings.

I saw no obvious thread for altcoin beginners here just now.

What "Alts" are reasonably easy to use yet fairly liquid (easy to buy, etc.)?

At this point, ease-of use is most important to me, if I go down "Alt Road", I may later want to look at features like better than BTC anonymity for example.

Thank you for any suggestions!   

LTC is a good option when it comes to ease of usage.
ETH is another good option with less confirmation time.

Yeah right, the demand to bitcoin and altcoin is outrageous but I would not like to compare them, they might not have the same purpose but they do have the same goal.

ETH is not good for OROBTC. He is looking for something that is the closest to bitcoin. Ethereum has a very large and growing blockchain and that will be something that will make it hard to scale. He will then be back again to the same problems bitcoin is having. Litecoin already has segwit in place and it is ready to scale.
