When we are in a bitcoin thread and the topic is bitcoin, then for all practical purposes, everything that is not bitcoin is a shitcoin.
Sure you might believe some shitcoins are better than others, but we are in a bitcoin thread, so your attempts to argue about which shitcoins might be less shitty is irrelevant...
So for all practical purposes shitcoin and altcoin means the same thing - especially when we are in a bitcoin thread..
Very valid. Altcoin discussion should never have a place in this thread, as we encourage Bitcoin buying and selling. I think avoiding such discussion is best for me, while I have always encouraged the buying of Bitcoin because that's what I do personally.
I personally don't encourage the buying of altcoin of any kind, due to their high level of centralization.
