Bitcoin is in the class of it's own and there is no basis whatsoever for comparison! Just like it has been said over again, bitcoin is tge currency of the future whle altcoin deals with other aspect of interest!

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Hello guys, what do you think, is it possible to compare altcoin and bitcoin? In my opinion it is kind of stupid to compare this crypto currencies, because altcoins and bitcoins are different. Bitcoin has its own benefits, altcoins have got their own benefits, they have got different blockchains, they have different way of use and so on. I just can’t understand people who make topics like: “Altcoins or Bitcoin?”. So what’s your opinion?

bitcoin is the 1st one to gain popularity we might say that bitcoin is the one who introduce blockchain technology so all other coins that is not btc is called altcoins

D145
Any other currency did not get the faith and attention of the people as bitcoin. That’s why more and more people are investing in bitcoin. Only Ethereum is another crypto which is now getting the attention of the people worldwide. But still Ethereum is no 2. There is a big difference between both the prices. For me the first choice is no doubt bitcoin and then Ethereum.

I do not think it is possible to compare them. We can understand the particular qualities of such, but they are like kinds of different substances. So, definitely we cannot compare them by just the word "cryptocurrencies".

In fact, there is no particular difference in the coins. There is a difference in popularity of each separately taken. Hardly anyone can surpass BTC, as people who have difficulty understanding what is cryptocurrency, still know about it.

If to estimate coins only from a position of value and buy/sale then of course they are identical. But we must understand that each coin has its own concept and vision the future of the crypt, so they are all special.

That's true, I think the most of new people which they already know what's mean cryptocurrencies, they already knew bitcoin and heard about it first. I mean, first they search about bitcoin, and through bitcoin they discover what means cryptocurrencies, so this is the difference. Bitcoin is more known than any other cryptocurrency, so there is no comparison of popularity as bitcoin is the better.

There are both similarities and differences, and you are right, this constant comparison irks. Because each holds their own and comes with their own set of advantages and disadvantages.

Some say that it is pointless to compare Bitcoin to Altcoins, I think we need to do that for us to know the basics of Cryptocurrencies especially for newbies.

Bitcoin is often called as the original cryptocurrency, mother of all cryptocurrency etc.. This is the reason why blockchain technology was invented. It is also referred as "digital gold" (like the gold coin but not tangible).

So what is Altcoin or Alternative Coin? Basically, these are the coins that are not Bitcoin. Some are created to solve completely different problems in Bitcoins but some are just coins created because of certain projects. These projects are using blockchain technology to solve real-world problems in various industries.

If you will ask me what to choose between Bitcoin and Altcoin? I will say, it depends on your goal. If your goal is to have great profit but higher risk then you choose AltCoin. Less expensive than Bitcoins but have higher possibility to have greater value in the future.

I see no reason to compare them. Bitcoin is Bitcoin and the alts are the alts. Every altcoin has its purpose and some of them are really useless. But comparing is usually in Bitcoins favor.

I consider crypto like dining table and Bitcoin is the main dish while others are side dishes. It would be boring to eat with just one variant of food. Not to mentions every member of the table have different tastes and likes. Just like crypto, we have different needs and likes and interests, and altcoins will fill those differences.

Bitcoin and Altcoins will compare if. Bitcoin is cheaper than the expensive Altcoins. But all Altcoin is Bticoin based. It is very difficult to have other crypto coins without bitcoin.

it seems to me that it is not necessary to divide cryptocurrencies into different divisions, because this is complete nonsense, they are all a currency that differs only in price

it is quite normal to compare them if you are an investor. all of the are based on blockchain technology. some are using different blockchains with different capacity, size and speed. but the truth is most of the people here are investors so it is quite normal to ask which one is more profitable.

Comparison between bitcoins and altcoins is crucial because it plays a big role in explaining other people the difference between the two.Though they are both digital currencies but bitcoin was the strongest and altcoins have been created based on bitcoins concepts.There are lots of existing altcoins nowadays that is also benefecial but some of them has low potential to survive in the market compared to bitcoin by which even votality always happening but it remains at the top that altcoins cannot surpass as of these time.

It depends on what you want to compare. I think it's okay to compare Bitcoin with Altcoin. If you're investor, also you must compare which is more profitable between invest in Alt or BTC.

Of course it is possible, you can compare btc into alt or even in fiat and other things but honestly this be shouldn't. For me, btc is the superior so it's pointless to compare it onto alts because alts is expected to get beaten in every aspect of the game unless btc already fall down from the number 1 spot and replaced by the other (now it will become comparable).

Instead of btc ~ alt comparison, I think it's much easier to accept the alt ~ alt comparison in terms of market price, volume of holders and potentials of booming. When it comes to platforms, we should not compare it because every coin focuses on a particular purpose or application and we should respect that.

I think this is kind of stupid to compare this cryptocurrencies. In any case, not all altcoyins are the forks of bitcoin, but most of it is true. For example, the Ethereum is not the fork of bitcoin, this crypto asset is based on its own code base. In general, there is an opinion that altkoins are a tool that facilitates getting bitcoin, because somehow, it all comes down to selling altcoin and buying bitcoin. On the one hand, I would like the altcoins to be allied with bitcoin. This would mean that the altcoins have the same bright future as bitcoin, and a price increase is possible.

You can still compare bitcoin to altcoins for the benefit of education like block size and speed of transactions but you shouldn't compare it to price value because it is already a different story.
