Since 2009, Bitcoin has proven itself as a decentralized, censorship-resistant alternative to fiat. But not all "crypto" or is created equal. Most "altcoins" - often called "shitcoins" - fail to uphold Bitcoin’s values.
True decentralization
Bitcoin: Thousands of independent nodes. No leaders. No company.
Shitcoins: Often run by centralized dev teams. Easy to manipulate.
Security through Proof of Work
Bitcoin uses PoW - Battle-tested, energy-secured, and resilient.
Shitcoins often use PoS - Efficient, but prone to centralization.
Supply and scarcity
Bitcoin: Fixed supply of 21M. Hard cap. Predictable issuance.
Shitcoins: No clear cap. Many are pre-mined or inflationary.
Purpose and use case
Bitcoin: Digital money. Store of value. Neutral, global asset.
Shitcoins: Often chase hype (NFTs, DeFi, memecoins) - little lasting utility.
Reputation and track record
Bitcoin: Over a decade of uptime, security, and adoption.
Shitcoins: Many disappear. Pump-and-dump cycles are common.
Censorship resistance
Bitcoin: No central entity = no switch to flip.
Shitcoins: Founders can be pressured. Code can be changed.
Bottom line:
Bitcoin isn’t just “first.” It’s the only truly decentralized, secure, and sound digital money.
Shitcoins are distractions - chasing profit, not principles.
