Every knowledge broadens the horizon.

As a newcomer to the cryptocurrency market, I think I have a lot to learn. In this article, I will share with you what remains in my mind from my research on altcoins.

Contrary to popular belief, "altcoin" is not a cryptocurrency. Altcoin is used to refer to any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin, which was founded on January 3, 2009.

The Reason Altcoins Originate

Mining operations in altcoins are easier than Bitcoin. The market has become active with mining. Cryptocurrencies with faster transfers were created.
