Altcoin meaning

Altcoin is a blend of the words “alternative” and “coin”, to form the term “Altcoin” and is a very common term in Cryptocurrency used to indicate an alternative to Bitcoin. Essentially the term Altcoins refers to all other cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin (BTC).

By the definition above, Ethereum (the worlds second largest Cryptocurrency by Market capitalization) is classed as an Altcoin.

Price of Altcoins

Asking the price of Altcoins is like asking how long is a piece of string. There are thousands of Altcoins in the market all with varying use-cases and prices.
