Hello guys, what do you think, is it possible to compare altcoin and bitcoin? In my opinion it is kind of stupid to compare this crypto currencies, because altcoins and bitcoins are different. Bitcoin has its own benefits, altcoins have got their own benefits, they have got different blockchains, they have different way of use and so on. I just cant understand people who make topics like: Altcoins or Bitcoin?. So whats your opinion?
You can compare Bitcoin to altcoins with regards to their functions and usage. Nowadays, since bitcoin's value is so high it's function as a currency wasn't really used instead as a store of value. Despite the success of bitcoin as a store of value there are still lots of flaws about it being a currency so altcoins were made to correct those flaws that bitcoin has. There are lots of promising altcoins in the market that function or do better than bitcoin when it comes to the main purpose as a currency. We have Eth which has faster and lower fees when transacting than bitcoin do and many more.
The birth of these altcoins is because of the services and some functionalities that bitcoin can't offer so it's not that its stupid to compare because every altcoin is somehow or somewhat relative to bitcoin because they are nothing without bitcoin and the term altcoin won't even exist.
