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 think he or she used the word only for names which has no significance. There is nothing to learn by the word. At every stage words choice carries a significance. If I say "crypto" then there is nothing to learn. But there is no end to learning when it comes to "Bitcoin".
Those who don't know about bitcoin they can consider crypto as bitcoin. There is a great difference in between the two words. When we utter “crypto” we can refer any type of cryptocurrency but when we utter bitcoin that definitely referring to bitcoin only. The difference between these two issues has been discussed many times in various discussions. In case of word choice especially "crypto and bitcoin" every one need to be very cautious to avoid mistakes.

I would not proclaim that the word crypto is meaningless, since it has some meaning in its vagueness, its ambiguousness, it's misleadingness (so in that sense a kind of attack vector upon bitcoin by trying to equate bitcoin with such)... while at the same time, as you seem to be suggesting GigaBit, if the goal of anyone is to want to learn about crypto, then it seems they might be wanting to learn about something that lacks in focus, and surely if they might be wanting to learn about bitcoin but using the term crypto, then why not just use the word bitcoin and/or be more specific about what is wanting to be learned. Surely someone might have goals to learn about how shitcoins relate to bitcoin and they might say that is one of the ways to learn about bitcoin, but such an aim ends up lacking in focus from the way that it aims to start the journey.

Many of us would likely understand that if we do not know the difference between bitcoin and crypto, then we are more likely to get mislead into learning about "bitcoin and crypto" from a strange kind of angle that ends up causing much more time to figure out what is going on and maybe even years and years of bad habits, especially if we might start to buy some of the shitcoins that are associated with crypto and to believe some of the dumbass shitcoin talking points that aim to promote their crap while at the same time naysaying bitcoin with catchy ideas that may well sound correct in theory.. but could take quite a bit of time to figure out that the marketing hype is not really painting reality with very good accuracy in regards to some of the scamminess (including people wanting to take your money) going on behind the scenes of much of that crap.. maybe not every single shitcoin projects, but quite a large number of them, including that many of the people might even have good intentions without realizing that they are promoting and building upon crap.

Ruben Darío street in El Salvador is being cleared of stray telephone and electrical wires. The mayor of San Salvador has taken steps to clean up Ruben Darío street by removing all the stray electrical and telephone wires. If kept clean, the city's revitalization plan will be implemented and the city will look beautiful and attract people's eyes.

Indeed, this is an admirable attempt to clean the city, but I am afraid Bitcoin has nothing to do with cleaning the town. I can hear JJG's keyboard sound and get ready for a bat slap or a thick rusty pipe shot. This thread is all about El Salvador's adoption of Bitcoin. Now, if you start talking about everything related to El Salvador, surely it won't be appreciated here.

If you don't want a bat-slap or thick rusty pipe shot, do not post these off-topic here, or else JayJuanGee will come up with one of them. If you know anything about Bitcoin, you may share it here.

I thought that i did not get very upset about very much possibly relateable topics as long as they are not promoting shitcoins, but surely some threads allow for shitcoin discussion based on how the topic of the thread might be formulated.. so for example in this thread, we are talking about a whole countries adoption of bitcoin and some people have considered that El Salvador's adoption of bitcoin might also relate to allowing shitcoins, especially when El Salvador has made some press releases in which they are promoting technology and engaging in various technological partnerships.. . so some of those promotions of various technologies and even one of the recent partnerships with Binance are ambiguous regarding how much they show that El Salvador is allowing shitcoins..

and some of the infrastructure clean up may also be argued to relate to bitcoin too.. just like the making the streets safter to reduce crime and attract tourists. If anyone has ever travelled to latin american countries, there surely are areas in which electrical wires tend to hang all over the place and may even scare some tourists in terms of the safety.... so appearances of order can provide some senses that underlying matters are in order in other regards, too.. and El Salvador really seems to not be a very BIG place when you think about it, so almost anything could end up relating to bitcoin..... including that they smaller the place then maybe overall country policies and initiatives may even be allowed to have influence over local matters. is that good or not? not always clear.. just like it might not be clear how much such topics relate to bitcoin and/or the topic of this thread..

so yeah, probably I have harder times getting upset about arguable topic deviance unless there appears to be some shitcoin pumping involved in motivating the post... On the other hand, some members might post somewhat off-topic and consider that they might be sufficiently related to the topic for their own reasons that may or may not be related to pumping shitcoins...even though some folks consider members involved in signature campaigns as kinds of shitcoins. which their is quite a bit of truth in terms of signature campaigns frequently being funded by various shitcoins and not always great ideas.. since bitcoin itself does not generally have a marketing team.. .. .
