I wouldn’t call it a shitcoin, there was a time when bitcoin was only worth a little as well. Ethereum looks to be the future of online digital currency, whereas bitcoin, while also digital, will be used in the real world for purchases or zaps.

The shitcoins are the ones created by one specific entity, for one specific purpose. Kinda like Pokémon, no practical real world use but for some stupid reason, people still collect them.
