Bitcoin - Created on January 3, 2009. It is the first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central bank or single administrator.
Altcoin - All the rest created after Bitcoin. The word "altcoin" is the abbreviation for the "Bitcoin alternative," so we call each crypto coin except Bitcoin.

I understand the difference between Bitcoins and ALT coins, however how do Alt coins hold their value. What is the difference between the supply and demand of an altcoin whenever you can use Bitcoin for the same exact purpose. Does that not eliminate the purpose of all altcoin?

What is the difference between Bitcoin and Altcoins? 

Bitcoin is a pioneer in the market, and altcoins are just an analog of it, yes they also have their value but much lower. In principle, this analogue is the future in the field of crypto-currency.

Ok, so which is more important or more secure in this business?  I see the pricing go up and down on both. BTC dropped over $1,500 in the past 24 hours.  How do you determine which will be more secure in the future.

Bitcoin is BTC and Altcoins is everything else
First cryptocurrency was Ripple. XMR is probably the most secure.
BTC is the average one. Everyone says how great it is but it doesn't win any of the medals when compared against Altcoins.
