WHAT IS BITCOIN?
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange that uses cryptography to control its creation and management, rather than relying on central authorities.[1] The presumed pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto integrated many existing ideas from the cypherpunk community when creating bitcoin. Over the course of bitcoin's history, it has undergone rapid growth to become a significant currency both on and offline - from the mid 2010's onward, some businesses on a global scale began accepting bitcoins in addition to standard currencies

WHAT IS ALTCOINS

An altcoin is any digital cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin. The term is said to stand for alternative to Bitcoin and is used describe any cryptocurrency that is not a Bitcoin. ... Most popular altcoins use the same fundamental building blocks as Bitcoin

USE:

Mainly some users and traders use altcoins to trade and grow their bitcoins to have a good profit this is because some traders don't have the capacity to buy 1 BTC that is now worth more than $16,000 so they use altcoins to trade with bitcoins and vice versa

if you have any idea about the relation of bitcoins and altcoins and their uses please don't hesitate to comment down thanks in advance more power bitcoin.

this is normal information about cryptocurrency. and now, because btc transaction fee too high, and low speed too. so many people invest in alt coin like: ripple, eth, litecoin => that take price of these altcoin go up and btc price becomes more stable. I guess so
