Actually, something like that is not wrong but the way it is said cryptocurrency for now actually refers to the mass (many) so it will sound ambiguous and not specific if you say crypto in reference to bitcoin.
It would be better if the pronunciation is more specific to "bitcoin" if it is talking about bitcoin because crypto is broad in scope and this certainly includes bitcoin and altcoins including shitcoin.
It is also not wrong to say crypto because it is true but the scope becomes wider if you say crypto in contrast to bitcoin which is already specific.

Unfortunately, many people don't realize it and think that bitcoin is the same as shitcoin or altcoin, this term exists because basically all shitcoin projects use cryptography technology itself which makes bitcoin one of the many cryptocurrencies that take advantage of bitcoin's popularity for the benefit of its developers. , It is also fueled by the many influencers and marketing from shitcoin projects who level their ranks with bitcoin with a lot of their bullshit.
The mention of Crypto itself is not a problem, but this is today a misnomer and makes bitcoin will take the brunt of the relatively failed shitcoin, making bitcoin receive bad screams too in a nutshell.
This is irrelevant today if bitcoin=crypto or crypto=bitcoin, bitcoin=bitcoin and not crypto which contains a lot of shitcoin.
I honestly don't care about mentioning it because the most important thing is accumulating bitcoins, but it seems a lot of people are getting lost with the brand of crypto itself.

Only naive people, lay people and people who don't understand standards equate bitcoin with shitcoin and this should be straightened out from the start and we may be able to tell the lay people but not the naive.

On the other hand, what I think now when we discuss about crypto then there will definitely be a sub discussion of bitcoin because bitcoin is one part of it but if we discuss about bitcoin then it is already specific as I said before so we cannot mix bitcoin with shitcoin.

What you say is also specific enough that it makes me have to agree because in fact it is clear that the term crypto is so broad that it does not only include Bitcoin, but also includes others as you mentioned. And if everyone refers to the reference sources that are in this topic, it is more directed to the discussion of Bitcoin so that it would be very correct if each of us mentioned Bitcoin directly without linking other cryptocurrencies into this. By the way, for now Bitcoin is still under $30K, is there anything out there that makes it difficult for Bitcoin to move past $30K this month?

That's the point, although maybe for some of us we might understand that but of course for most people it's going to be ambiguous in terms of terminology.
As for when talking about price speculation I won't say much considering I'm still enjoying this thing at its current price.
But only one thing is certain right now, sooner or later everything will change and all we have to do is wait and relax without thinking about fluctuations and buy if we have a purchase plan with the money we have.
