DEFINITION

Altcoins, short for ‘alternative coins,’ refer to cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin. These digital currencies offer various features and technological advancements that distinguish them from Bitcoin. 

 

Altcoins aim to address perceived limitations of Bitcoin, such as scalability, privacy, and transaction speed, by implementing different algorithms, consensus mechanisms, and blockchain architectures. Examples of altcoins include Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, and Cardano. 

 

Altcoins play a significant role in the cryptocurrency market, fostering innovation and providing investors with diverse investment opportunities. While some altcoins have gained substantial popularity and market capitalization, others remain niche projects with specific use cases.
