"crypto" derived from cryptographic money = Bitcoin.
#bitcoin is not a #shitcoin (#altcoin), but it is most definitely cryptocurrency. while it is important to separate shitcoins from bitcoins. bitcoin is the first established cryptocurrency. please don't confuse people.

😉 💯 yup. in 1983, David Chaum (cryptographer) published a conference paper "outlining an early form of anonymous cryptographic electronic money." he developed proto-crypto currency called ecash in 1995. then Nick Szabo came out with Bit Gold (precursor to btc) in 1998 but couldn't figue out the double spend problem. a decade later on Oct, 31, 2008 Satoshi Nakamoto published the #Bitcoin whitepaper and the first established #cryptocurrency, #BTC which would not be possible without #blockchain tech
fact is that ecash was the first cryptocurrency.
bitcoin was the second, created as a PRIVATE p2p cryptocurrency solving the double spending problem.
today it has become something different due to a cult and a lack of intellectual capabilities of most members of this cult. it has no privacy and it does not scale.
that is why other cryptocurrencies like monero, solana or litecoin were created and have a superior value for many people who are open-minded, who can think normally
The term 'crypto' is from 'cryptography' basically. In that sense Bitcoin is cryptocurrency.
But the point is clear:
Bitcoin is BITCOIN.
No common noun is required. Just the proper name is enough and clean, and confusing.
Any common name for Bitcoin helps shitcoins. nostr:npub1h882a66p0zj5n69s2u8nfzev4f97lzfnlcej84z78p6uqxge5tpqlupz20 is correct in this regard.
cryptography / cryptographic and yes Bitcoin is Bitcoin.
