Hello I'm newbie here.pls anyone can tell me what is the difference of bitcoin in altcoins.
Bitcoin is the pioneer. Altcoins are alternative coins
Wow. Your comment make sense.
Bitcoin has been designed as a P2P, meaning we don't need third party to transact with one another. Thus eliminating banks or any third party. This is the reason why many people find bitcoin as a good alternative. Also as P2P, it is being used for doing micro payments. However, with the high cost of transaction, I tend to inclined that this purpose no longer serves as today that's why mass adoption is very slow up to now.
As for altcoins, some of them is a fork of bitcoin, i.e. bitcoin cash although have some improvement, still lagging in the popularity of bitcoin. While other altcoins has smart contracts like ETH and faster confirmation time, it didn't enjoy the support because bitcoin remains popular as ever even it has problems like slow confirmation and high tx fees. Nothing beats the first.
