The word “altcoin” is an abbreviation of “Bitcoin alternative,” and thus describes every single cryptocurrency except for Bitcoin. Altcoins are referred to as Bitcoin alternatives because, at least to some extent, most altcoins hope to either replace or improve upon at least one Bitcoin component. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Welcome to this new world, and congrats that you are here. An Altcoin is nothing but any other coin like Bitcoin. There are many Altcoins present in the market now like Etherum, EDOGE, etc. Many new Altcoins are being getting introduced very fastly so you should very careful about which one to buy. To other people Altcoin is just an ordinary coin which has exact opposit amount, yes that is true to all but Altcoin is very usefull and some people use this as their transaction into third party. We all knew that there are different equivalent in specific amount that you are goin to receive.

yes, probably a good advice is to invest a little in DeepOnion. There is a great community behind it and privacy will be a key element for TOP privacy coins in 2018 (and even after)

I see that everything has been well explained so far! ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I would just add, that the newbies usually start with the altcoins, because they are easier to collect and store. Some of them are low-priced now but have great capacity to grow! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Take your time do some thorough research on the best 5 altcoins of 2018!

Altcoins is an alternative coin that was created as an alternative to bitcoin. if you do not have much capital to buy bitcoin, you can buy alternative coin (altcoin). lots of altcoin that you can choose for investment or trading. example etherum, ripple, doge, dash and many more. and of course the altcoin price is cheaper than bitcoin.

First it was Bitcoin in which the first digital currency that created then after the success of Bitcoin many businessman try to follow the path of Bitcoin and created their own coins in which are now called alternative coins or altcoin in short. That any coin other than Bitcoin will be called altcoins in which the most famous altcoin is Ethereum.

Altcoins means alternative coins. The first coins we have in the cryptoworld is bitcoin. After bitcoin, all coins created are called altcoins. These coins have lower value or price than bitcoin. Some altcoins arent stay or listed in all exchanges because they disappear because they arent indemand as that of others. Altcoins also are being used as payment in most bounties we have here. The main goal of having altcoin is to exchange or trade them in bitcoin, a globally accepted coin.

Altcoin is a cryptocurrency can be called a token other than bitcoin. The term Altcoin was created from the beginning when there were only a few coins made of bitcoin cloning.

Basically, altcoin is a cryptocurrency that we're trying to work for. Since you are already a member of our society here in bitcoin, it is better for you to read threads with regards to those things that are so complex for you to understand. But that is just for now that you are a newbie. They are much reliable since those threads are made specially by those big time masters here in bitcoin. With that, they can share and impart their knowledge for you, for us all so that we can all work together with harmony and with unity. Looking forward that we can all succeed with our own little ways in struggling our journey to have a better and brighter future.

Yes! As the name implies, "Altcoin" is a combination of two words: "alt" and "coin"; alt is short for alternative and coin signifies currency. Thus together they imply a category of cryptocurrency that is alternative to the digital currency Bitcoin. After the success story of Bitcoin, many other peer-to-peer digital currencies have emerged in an attempt to imitate that success. Or simply put, Altcoins 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

In a simple word, Alt = Alternative; -coin = Coin. Join both words you have Altcoin which when written in full means Alternative Coins. Alternative because there is already a major coin in existence before those coins were created and that major coin is Bitcoin. Therefore, any coin in the cryptospace other than Bitcoin is called Altcoin. Such coins include Ether, Ripple, Bitcoin cash, etc.

These altcoins re the alternative coins which is being produced as the substitute of Bitcoin. These are the decentralised virtual crypto currencies which is widely used nowadays. These coins are beneficial for long term investments and can generate huge profits.
