to "conflate Bitcoin with crypto" is indeed a grave sin, I get it.

but if you write law on anything tech-related, if it's not tech-neutral, you risk the worst.

This may be a losing battle in bitcoin world for my part, but the broader the regulatory categories, the better the protection for all involved.

Bitcoin should win on its merits, not because Gensler or someone else deems it a commodity or something is written in law.

In all my articles and briefs to legislators, I consciously write "bitcoin and its crypto-offspring" to make the difference clear.
