What are ALT Coins in Cryptocurrencies ?

ALT Coins (Alternative coins for Bitcoin)

After the establishment of Bitcoin, a new variety and numerous coins of Cryptocurrencies came into existence. These all have individual names but all of them are collectively called as Altcoins.

Alt coins are relatively much cheaper in value when compared to BTC. This provides good agility in trading markets so that investors can easily buy and sell coins in less amounts of value.
