That's a dumb user name "Learn Crypto"

Why would you need to learn crypto?  it is a nearly meaningless term.

maybe you should learn bitcoin first in order that you can come to appreciate that crypto is largely a distracting, vague and meaningless word that seems to be used by people who either do not know anything about bitcoin or they are purposefully or without purpose trying to create confusion by putting bitcoin into a meaningless category.
I was mentioned several times because of this user. I guess this guy visited the forum and checked the Bangladesh local thread saw my username and then decided to create his account with this username. Hey JJG, it's you again. It's been a while since I did not visit your home. But my name is still suggesting others learn more about Bitcoin.

The funny thing is I have also been learning Bitcoin for a while. Unfortunately, I am unable to learn many things. I didn't even finished to learn bitcoin, how would I start learning crypto?  Cheesy Cheesy
Learning bitcoin seems to be a life long process, and surely there are various angles in which to approach it, and since bitcoin is likely going to be taking over a large number of aspects (and assets) of the world, bitcoin is likely going to end up touching upon almost every single thing, so just by definition, most people are ONLY going to learn bitcoin from a certain angle, and probable the smartest of folks - even the polymaths, are likely not going to learn (or know) all aspects of bitcoin.
We have been involved in this discussions as regards to learning Bitcoin or learning crypto,  but majority of bitcoin users already know that crypto is not Bitcoin and using that terms to refer to Bitcoin in any form is a fundamental violation of what Bitcoin really is and stands for,  this also is what has shaped our approach towards those discussions as regard to Bitcoin journey and just as JayJuanGee said bitcoin is a life long journey that will touch several aspects of human development in regards to financial inclusions,  some time this misconception of terms have given bitcoin bad image from the general bad actors in the market such as in the class of shitcoins that are referred to as crypts who are nothing but just hype and shitcoins.

That seems to justify that many of us continue to clarify the situation and fight back against the ongoing attack that those who use the term try to act as if using the term crypto is some kind of an innocent and different way of talking about bitcoin, when it is not.  Even if some of them likely do not have bad intentions, those of us who know better still likely have obligations to continue to beat them into the ground when they continue to use such term in vague, amorphous and meaningless ways.

I have no problem with using the term crypto when it is clear what is being discussed, but so often, it is used in ways in which it is not really very clear what is the reference and many times it seems to be trying to make bitcoin into a kind of equivalence to shitcoins, which surely any of us studying bitcoin for more than 100 hours likely realize that bitcoin has sufficiently meaning and material differences that require differentiating bitcoin as not only the leader, but to also make it abundantly clear that an overwhelming majority of shitcoins are affinity scams, even if they might have some redeeming utility, use cases and even being able to advantage from them as kinds of testnets.

Learning about Bitcoin is a lifelong journey,  and the fundamental thing to do is to walk in the direction of the fundamental knowledge of Bitcoin because only through doing that you will be able to take a proper look at the long-term benefits of Bitcoin and how to maximize on that benefits.

I am not sure if everyone is going to be able to necessarily maximize on the bitcoin benefit, even if we feel like we know bitcoin very well, because while the world is transitioning from various fiat systems and also value is likely to ongoingly continue to gravitate into bitcoin, at the same time, mistakes are likely going to continue to be made in terms of balancing between the two worlds. and maybe sometimes overallocating in one direction or another during such transitioning process.. and hopefully, we are not losing too many bitcoins along the way, yet some of us will.
