#Whatiscryptocurrency Any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin is often called an altcoin. Some altcoins try to improve speed, reduce fees, support apps, or serve a specific purpose.
Examples include:
utility tokens
governance tokens
meme coins
stablecoins
exchange ecosystem tokens like BNB
Not all altcoins are equal. Some are useful and established, while others are highly speculative or risky. Beginners should be careful not to assume every coin has strong long-term value.
