That's not what has happened though. Bitcoin gets lumped in with all the scams and pump and dump shitcoins we know as crypto by mainstream media and politicians. nostr:npub1cmmswlckn82se7f2jeftl6ll4szlc6zzh8hrjyyfm9vm3t2afr7svqlr6f is 100% right. Crypto has slowed down Bitcoin adoption.
Discussion
I have heard multi politicians, both R and D, make the distinction between bitcoin and crypto including the top cop of wall street: Gentler. I think they will blow their political momentum attacking the easy target of dog coins and such. But this was all inevitable; success grows imitators. Bitcoin will clear this hurdle and it will provide valuable market information, just like the blocksize wars.
