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.
