What is the difference between Bitcoin and Altcoin

[babyjamaylianndrea]

BITCOIN is the “original” cryptocurrency and ultimately responsible for the invention of blockchain technology. It basically was (and still is) a beta test of the technology, and it doesn’t actually work all that well. Many bitcoin evangelists now refer to it as “digital gold” or a “store of value” since it basically no longer works as a currency for most people. Can you imagine going to the market and paying $25 in fees and waiting 4 hours to pay for your groceries? Obviously that is not realistic.

ALTCOINS are generally defined as “everything else.”
Although some might not refer to Ethereum as an altcoin, but certainly the 1500 other coins out there are considered “alts.”
Altcoin is general term for all cryptocurrentcies that are not Bitcoin
(and maybe today several more main coins like Ethereum, Ripple etc. ) it means
Altcoins simply refers to coins that are an alternative to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin ay ang orihinal na desentralisadong cryptocurrency. Ang mga Altcoin ay ang lahat ng iba pang mga cryptocurrency na dumating mamaya. Bitcoin ay ang orihinal na cryptocurrency, at dahil dito ang bawat iba pang mga barya na nilikha sa wake nito ay kilala bilang isang "altcoin".

sa akin  may difference sa bitcoin at altcoin, ang bitcoin mas trusted at mas kilala ang bitcoin dahil ito ang pinakauna sa lahat na cryto currency at supported sa maraming mga investor. ang altcoin naman gaya ng maraming coins ito sy alternative na coins  at hindi pa gaano tanggap sa lahat na investors
