What is alt coin and how to make it...? Is alt coin bitcoin?

Altcoin is the name that coins that are not bitcoin receive. So any cryptocurrency that is not bitcoin, is an altcoin. Alt means alternative I guess. All coins that are not bitcoin are alternatives to bitcoin.

To create your own altcoin, you need to know how to program, or you need to pay someone that knows how to do it for you. I think there are some "altcoin generator" softwares that need no programming skills and you can create altcoins very easily, but with very limited options, and of course, it will be another pump and dump since it does not provide anything new.
