It is easy. The first crypto-currency is Bitcoin and when Bitcoin released no one trusted it by the time people started thinking about Bitcoins, Started to think about its features like its anonymous, fast transaction speed etc. So, When the people saw that Bitcoin a digital currency is getting popular day by day many people started to make new crypto-currencies other then Bitcoin.
In simple words the crypto-coin or digital currency which is just like Bitcoin is call alt coin.

Altcoin is alternativecoin which means coin coin besides bitcoin. The purpose of making altcoin is, to cover the weakness of bitcoin is a limitation of the amount of bitcoin in the circulation of only about 22 million coins only, then altcoin is made. Until now there are about 150 altcoins in the market with varying prices, there are even altcoin prices that exceed the bitcoin price itself both 2x, 3x, even 10x. But a lot of altcoin is very small.

Altcoin is any type of coin that you can use to invest and as an intermediary between bitcoin with altcoin others, you can also sell your coin in altcoin you choose it ,,

In my opinion, I would explain altcoin in simple forms as a cryprocurrency other than bitcon. Its a combination of two words 'alt' and 'coin',  and alt in full refers to alternative. There are close to a thousand or more altcoins with ICOs launching each and every week. That is how I simply define an altcoin.

altcoin or alternate currency 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.

You can earn or buy altcoins. where you can earn it?

1. Bounty Campaigns
2. Signature Campaigns that pays Altcoin
3. Trading Sites (poloniex and Bittrex)

There are different altcoins out there ex. are Litecoins, Ethereum, Ethereum classic, Doge etc.

Sir, I just want to ask, in bounties their rates are in stakes, what does this mean and how are we able to get paid with this stakes? I just don't understand this yet, can you explain to me, or to other newbies? Thank you in advance for understanding my situation sir.

Stakes is a way for managers to easily determine and calculate how much you will get at the end of the campaign. So a stake sort of refers to the share that you have. Once the ICO is finished, the pay out will be divided according to the corresponding participants and stakes. You are usually paid in tokens or whatever is indicated in the campaign. You may receive this by providing your ETC wallet like myether etc.

Altcoin is also known as alternative coin (specifically to bitcoin); these are coins which have variable values when traded to bitcoins or fiats. You might also want to know their features - well, each coin has unique features which you have to google yourself because they are too many to be discussed. Their features attract investors and that causes their price to move, however, there are some altcoins that were created without any legitimate purpose. You might want to research about pump and dump in this forum too.

I hate not to explain to you everything about altcoins but I guess doing your own research would be beneficial.
