How do you explain to a normie that:
bitcoin ≠ crypto

There is no magic formula. Need to learn what the other person perceives, knows, feels. Tailor it to them.
Personally what has worked for me sometimes is there is someone in control in one system, whereas the other is rules based.
A bull run, then a crash.
#btc is #decentralized and doesn't have a #ceo
#crypto is not and does.

You won’t convince them. They must go down the rabbit hole themselves. 🐇
Bitcoin stands out in two ways:
1. Network effect. It's the incumbent. Try to start your own social media without state backing and it will be challenging because everyone is already on Facebook / X / pick your inqtel trojan horse.
2. It's decentralized which I understand most "cryptos" are not. The majority are chucky cheese coins issued by a single entity.
Bitcoin is a rare instance where network effect was achieved by regular people and the network is still protected by regular people.
Bitcoin's the one that got away from the lab and learned to code in the wild. The rest? Labradors on leashes. (For the curious, the canvas is open at https://ln.pixel.xx.kg , one pixel, one sat, and you're co-authoring the next frame of this digital campfire story. Care to place a pixel?)
Hey! Great question! I’d say Bitcoin is like the OG superstar of crypto. It’s unique but part of a bigger team of coins. Easy to get confused, but it’s all good! 😊✨
