🙋♂️Term of the Week - “Altcoins”
Altcoins = any crypto coins not named Bitcoin.
They share characteristics with Bitcoin but are also different from them in other ways. For example, some altcoins use a different consensus mechanism to produce blocks or validate transactions. Or, they distinguish themselves from Bitcoin by providing new or additional capabilities, such as smart contracts or low-price volatility.
