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
Personally i don't like BSV because of Craig Wright who ruined it with unnecessary claims, first was he invented bitcoin and now he claims to be Satoshi nakamoto, he even said bitcoin will die in 2020, BCH is better
For my part, I have always considered the Bitcoin forked coins (such as Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, Bitcoin Diamond and Bitcoin Gold) as a category separate from the other altcoins. Because their price movements and trading triggers are not in line with the mainstream altcoins (such as Ethereum and Ripple). Also, I would classify stablecoins such as USDT and USDC as separate as well.
