Cryptocurrency Question

I have been reading a lot about cryptocurrency lately, especially with the explosion in some of the prices. But I still don't understand a lot about it in regards to what makes one different than the other. I know they are all blockchain based but besides that what makes them different? Other than the sake of someone 'wanting to get rich quick' from starting their own Cryptocurrency, why are programs not written based on an already reputable currency like bitcoin. What would be the advantage of creating a new cryptocurrency, other than wanting to 'get rich quick,' and by what aspects of the blockchain technology make one cryptocurrency differ from the next? Please provide examples.
