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.
