BTQ is considered a coin rather than an altcoin. The term "coin" refers to a cryptocurrency that operates on its own independent blockchain, just like Bitcoin (BTC). BTQ has its own blockchain, utilizing advanced quantum-resistant security measures and unique features such as a dual-mining approach and an extended emission schedule.

Altcoins, on the other hand, are typically used to describe cryptocurrencies that are alternatives to Bitcoin. While technically, BTQ can be categorized as an altcoin in the broader sense (since it is an alternative to Bitcoin), it is more precise to refer to it as a coin because it operates on its own distinct blockchain rather than relying on another blockchain, like Ethereum-based tokens do.

So, BTQ is a coin with its own independent blockchain.

You are contradicting yourself. Bitcoin is bitcoin. Other coins are called altcoins. You explained it and yet contradicting your explanation.
