Altcoins

The short for "alternative coins," these are any cryptocurrencies that aren’t Bitcoin. There are thousands of them, each with its own technology, purpose, and level of legitimacy. Some aim to improve Bitcoin’s weaknesses, others power specific blockchain projects, and a few are just meme-fueled chaos.
