For all those who came across many bitcoin's in the market who tends to say they are copy of bitcoin and then people ask is this possible so to answer them it is said there is only and only one bitcoin and rest all other are shitcoins created by scammers like Roger Ver for their personal profits.

You can hard fork it but it will not be same as the orginal and the support for bitcoin will always remain high as it's the one which Satoshi initially made to change the monetary system.

I am having some trouble recognizing why this kind of a discussion point is even relevant at this point and in this thread..

It's like I am stepping back to arguments that were being made 4 years ago...

In other words, the market has already spoken long ago.. both in the material sense and also in the dying down of any kind of necessity to give any attention to those various copy-cat attempts at bitcoin.. and there seems to be no need to be bringing up the various copy-cat and forked shitcoins... especially here... unless there is some kind of specific point that is specifically relevant in current events.. besides just giving attention to the obvious losers of copy cat version of shitcoins for seemingly no reason at all.

I usually support some altcoins.. but what that guy said was madness, ponzi schemes all the way. A good sh!tcoin needs to be at least 10+ years old, have deflationary ideology, also be decentralized and to be able to work on a peer to peer offgrid trading platform. Roll Eyes

Is there no proper definition for all these things? Everyone seems to be throwing terms like Ponzi, Decentralized, Shitcoin et cetera over any and every Altcoin and most of the time they seem improperly placed. Is every Altcoin a Shitcoin? If not, is every Shitcoin a Ponzi? I thought Ponzi is a pyramidal scheme and I am kind of sure the mentioned ones are not pyramidal schemes?

Why would we need to flesh that out here? It seems very unimportant in terms of deciding which shitcoin is less shitty.. and take that irrelevant talk somewhere else because any kind of discussion and attention to various shitcoins just ends up in a devolving increased discussion of irrelevant and distracting bullshit - and ain't nobody got time for that.

I do not praise or support the existence of all these coins, many of them are useless and just for speculation but I suggest we start defining coins correctly.

why?

who cares?

Unless you can make some kind of connection to bitcoin, then why discuss?

I am not talking about some amorphous connection in order to discuss which shitcoin happens to be less shitty, and seems that we have bitcoin related topics, instead of devolving into nuances of shitcoin comparisons.

Was kind of scared when I saw everyone calling CBDC's Cryptocurrencies. May turn into a very deceiving mess similar to many thinking Bitcoin makes you anonymous.

That is, unless you were sarcastic and I actually have no sense of humor.

Of course, CBDCs are going to be another attack vector on bitcoin... and people will likely be confused about what the fuck they are and what is the differences between the various kinds of money (to the extent that some people will care to think about these matters at all) to the extent that various CBDCs have not really gotten started too much yet.. except maybe in China.. or if there might already be some electronic vouchers already being issued with limitations on them.... and surely there are going to be several levels of sadness to some of those kinds of CBDCs to the extent that they end up getting issued and end up getting any kind of foothold in terms of a form of competition of ways to receive and spend value... with potentials of total control of abilities to spend money.. possible time limits, location limits, "acceptable" ways to spend.. and they (CBDCs) might even end up being another way to end up promoting bitcoin through a kind of Streisand effect. though it could take a bit of time before people realize the level of the inferiorities of such CBDCs in spite of their likely being marketed by their issuers.
