“Crypto” = Penny stocks 2.0 1000x leveraged
What could go wrong huh?
If Bernie Madoff was alive today, he would have had his own “crypto” VC fund by now… Jordan Belford too… SBF and the other “crypto” parasites are just this generation of Madoff and Belford… FTX is this generation’s ENRON… these parasites are like Herpies, they ain’t going away, they just reappear in a different form later.
Bitcoin = ANTIBIOTICS to the fiat virus.
“Crypto” = Deadly Virus, fiat mindset.
I know I’m gonna get buried for saying this, and logic suggests it is the one thing that will survive every storm, but BTC maximalism is toxic and counterproductive. I say this as a person who has come around to putting BTC above all else. BTC can still own the market with other coins bringing the vanguard.
From the people who brought you “it’s not a PC. its a mac” , it’s this decades version of “this one brand is too special for the category, i must be special if its my favourote type”.
Get over it lads. Bitcoin isn’t a personality trait.
Omg yes BTC is crypto but it’s a meme first of all so chill secondly it’s pretty obvious it’s implying that the Bitcoin community seeks to distance itself from the rest of the cryptocurrency world. You guys all must be so fun at parties.
The people who say that Bitcoin IS Crypto are missing the point entirely.
Natural language is very tricky. Sometimes certain words take on a life of their own, and sometimes connotations of a word completely overshadow its dictionary meaning. Words evolve over time and people’s understanding of a word can change so much that the dictionary itself has to change the official definition because it no longer matches reality. It’s more common than you think.
In the case of the word “crypto”, this change has been rather faster than usual. Right now, what everyday people understand when they hear this word is so far from the mission statement of what Bitcoin is, that it is no longer a meaningful description of itself. And consequently this description should not be used, which is the entire point.
The fact that *technically* it is crypto, doesn’t mean much. Everyday understanding of words is far more important than technicalities, if we want to have clear lines of communication that is.
But Bitcoin is crypto. It uses cryptography to control its creation and transactions. It’s literally the first cryptocurrency.
Crypto people in bull markets: “Stoopid ignorant Bitcoin maxis”
Crypto people in bear markets: “We are all in this together”
Bitcoin definitely ≠ crypto
What movie the first one from?
Bitcoin !== Crypto
Bitcoin=Crypto TRUE
Crypto=Bitcoin FALSE
Btc was here before all the others
No one ever told Bitcoin to be careful who your friends are haha

Since when did Bitcoin stop using cryptography?
Saying Bitcoin isn’t crypto is like saying a thumb is not a digit.
It’s funny how even here this message is lost on some people. Crypto is an umbrella term meant to legitimize scams by association to Bitcoin.
I love [how Samson Mow put it.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytzcbXVWFz4)
SM: “Bitcoin and crypto are totally different.”
Reporter: “But Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, right?”
SM: “Bitcoin is the *only* cryptocurrency.”
What is with this new wave of Bitcoin not being crypto.
Its literally the worlds’ first OG King Crypto. Whats the logic can anyone eli5?
Cryptography is one of Bitcoin’s best and most essential features. Bitcoin is definitely crypto.
Haah????

This sub,
When crypto is going well.
Bitcoin = crypto
When crypto is not going well
Bitcoin != Crypto
In reality
Bitcoin = crypto
I like the meme, but it does have the strong irony that in Star Trek there is no money of any kind among the Federation.
Am I not recalling correctly… or did this sub have substance 2-7 years back?
Wow, lot of idiots here who don’t get the point. They must be r/cryptocurrency refugees.

Until Bitcoin is dethroned.
Bitcoin and Crypto are tight
Like Kane and Able
Yes, Bitcoin is not equal to crypto. It is a subset of crypto.
I saw this porno
In what way is it not crypto? Did bitcoin remove its cryptographic portion without me realising?
Smdh
Bitcoin: “I’m better than crypto”
No, you’re just the first.
Satoshi did call it a cryptocurrency – just saying.
What?? Bitcoin created crypto, there would literally be no crypto market if bitcoin was never invented
Anytime a comment preaches unity, the poster utilizes the term, ‘crypto’. Huge red flag.

Bitcoin = hedge against inflation
Bitcoin = financial freedom
I think it’s saying Bitcoin “is the way” and all other coins are just crypto.
I enjoy the meme.
