Some people are bitcoin maximalists, they call altcoins shitcoins derogatorily. BTW, should we consider BCH or BSV altcoins? The most hated ones in their circlejerk
But not all. Some people may call altcoins because more than 90% of altcoins right now just worthless coins and no more. BCH and BSV are altcoins too and you need also to consider both as altcoins.
That's the fact that happened.
