WHAT IS ALTCOINS?
-it is important to understand that the word "altcoin" is not a name of cryptocurrency. Rather this is simply a term for "Alternative to Bitcoin" the best examples of altcoins that exist in markets now a days are: Ripple(XRP) NEM(XEM) LITECOIN(LTC) ETHEREUM(ETH)
ALTCOINS: ALTERNATIVE TO BITCOIN
they are technically an altcoins, in general altcoins works very similar to bitcoin, but there are minor differences between different coin because each of them posses a unique features.
Bitcoin is the most popular and widespread cryptocurrenct, because of this beginers and amateurs getting hard time to get bitcoin.
Most altcoins are not so expensive,not so popular and can offer to be mined by beginers with CPUs
there are thousands of altcoins in the market that vary in popularity and price and technical details
most altcoins use the hashing algorithm SHA-256(use by bitcoin), and the second hashing algorithm is SCRYPT(use by litecoin) but there are other hashing algorithm use by different altcoins such as(X11,X13,X15,NIST5 and 100% POS).
I think that the most popular altcoins since 2017 or earlier was LITCOIN(ltc) a SCRYPT bbase cryptocurrency that has a high market value and is more stable than bitcoin(my opinion) but others choose ETHEREUM(ETH).
Altcoins can be a great and fun and profitable to invest with. It's like trading penny stocks, with a very small amount of money you can earn twice or more than of it.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? comment down below your suggestion about altcoins and comment down your best altcoins of 2017 and what altcoins will be rise up this 2017!!

Altcoin is using our handy guide, you may have already familiarized yourself with the ins and outs of Bitcoin. But aside from bitcoin, there are hundreds of other digital currencies out there. These are known as "altcoins," or alternatives to bitcoin; for example, ether, ripple, zcash, monero and dash, to name just a few.

we can not deny again, that altcoins I think an innovation that can provide various facilities in the world of cryptocurrency with its unique features. based on my observations, before 2017 altcoin began to penetrate its popularity. More and more, many altcoins are emerging and make the crypto world more interesting to follow. highly visible today, many ICOs are launching altcoin with a variety of different basic features. it will be more profitable, especially if we do have a capital that is not too big, we can get more benefits on this altcoin technology.

At one time you would refer to altcoins as everything that wasn't Bitcoin due to it's massive market dominance. I would prefer to think of altcoins now as anything outside of the large and established coins that have jone Bitoin such as Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash, Ripple.

You can use altcoins if you want to increase your bitcoin through trading or use them based on their technological use on their own platform. Altcoins give a diverse take on the cryptocurrency market and keeps each other in check to be more successful especially as any coin can be the next bitcoin.

Initiatives for issuing crypto money are not usually made under any regulations and surveillance practices to obtain initial capital, thus providing a good basis for fraud.

Altcoin, in my view, is the so-called bitcoin replacement. Many excellent altcoins even surpass bitcoin, Altcoin constitute the entire cryptocurrency market.

Altcoin is an alternative cryptocurrencies that have been released after the successful bitcoin reaches the world's sympathy. The coin is projected as a substitute for bitcoin and is considered preferable for use as a means of exchange. After bitcoin achieved success as the first peer-to-peer digital currency, it has paved the way for other currencies.
