Bitcoin is the father, altcoins are their children. Their relationship is so
Your parable is very simple and true Because then all altcoin under Bitcoin and altcoin will not replace Bitcoin.

Basically the prices of all altcoins are following bitcoin. So right now we can say that most of the altcoins are ticks which are attached to bitcoin and sucking its power in market.
This is a good example because the price of bitcoin today is so high and we can see that altcoins also depends on it. People using altcoins always go backs to bitcoin no matter what.

Bitcoin is the main coin of all atlcoin, if altcoin is an intermediate from altcoin to bitcoin, like the country's currency is USD bitcoin, because USD is the highest, so bitcoin is the main key of all altcoin prices

The main difference is that Bitcoin is the pioneer of all crypto currency out there, which makes bitcoin the "King" of all coins, or the coin on top of it all. On the other Altcoins / Alternate crypto currencies are coins other than bitcoin. Altcoins are also coins that are based on bitcoin with added features or maybe added uses. Altcoins could be used to trade or converted to bitcoin. So, basically Altcoins are coin that are not Bitcoin.

What is the common difference between bitcoin and altcoin ?
Common difference? Well the thing comes to my mind is their value. They do really differ on that way and 2nd is that Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency and all coins after it is just an altcoin. Even though there are lots of altcoin in the market we can still see potential coins which would possibly surpass bitcoins value on upcoming years but well this would depend if community would adopt it or decide to switch back.

bitcoins is a digital currency , it is like the king of all digital currencies as its value is highest among all of them , almost all the altcoins where made after seeing the success of bitoins , bitcoin has a big community behind it . people use BITCOINS to buy ALT COINS as an asset to benefit them in future , people trust altcoins as they did on bitcoins as an investment . most of the altcoin users are/where bitcoin users first .there are altcoins like ethereum which may grow up to challenge bitcoins with new and enhanced avantages but for now bitcoins rule the digital currency era with its huge value crossing $4000 and great advantages .

What is the common difference between bitcoin and altcoin ?
Bitcoin is not the first coin available, but the first recognizable in the world, using SHA256 as its algorithm. Outside bitcoin is called an alternative coin or altcoin. Why is it different? Because altcoin his glasses in bitcoin to determine the value of his coin. Whatever the coin, how to mine it remains the same, destroy the blocks to get the rewards. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Well Bitcoin is the very first crytocurrency ever created and is the most known out of all the cryptocurrencies while Altcoins are alternate coins created after bitcoin. Both are good and have different objectives but they are great if they work in harmony. You can't appreciate Bitcoin without an altcoin and you can't appreciate an Altcoin if you don't have bitcoins or haven't tried bitcoin to save or hodled.

Alt were created to do task btc sometimes fails to do. Like when it's too expensive there are alts that can be a substitute for that transaction.example in investing ICo, in playing gambling.

What is the common difference between bitcoin and altcoin ?
as others have posted: bitcoin was the first coin and it is still the biggest coin there is, so other coins were just called alt coins because they were an alternative but not as big as bitcoin

The terms I can give are altecoin as the goods and bitcoin as the money. That's the unum picture of my opinion. If there is no bitcoin and altecoin then bitkoin is also useless.

Bitcoin and altcoins have the same difference as Google and Yahoo.
Bitcoin has became a synonym to cryptocurrencies. For most of the people, cryptocurrencies mean Bitcoin. Anyone who enters the cryptocurrency market usually always starts with Bitcoin and through that they enter altcoin market. Opposite is a rare a case. Altcoin as the name suggests are just other coins.

What is the common difference between bitcoin and altcoin ?
Bitcoin is first and famous cryptocurrency, they used sha256 as algorithm. Altcoin is other coin than bitcoin because nowadays bitcoin as standard pair for cryptocurrency, they have various algorithm and mechanism. So if any new coin launched people will also called it as altcoin Very good explanation,,so If the new coin is always called alticoin, will it be called bitcoin as well?
