I guess I may have used the wrong word when emphasizing things, but I’m definitely a Bitcoin holder and consider myself a crypto enthusiast because I’m into the overall success of crypto...which is largely driven by Bitcoin. While we favor Bitcoin over other cryptos, we can’t label all altcoins as "shit coins." I have to admit, without these coins, I wouldn’t be able to trade my Bitcoin or buy more when I decide to hold. I’m talking about exchanges like Binance, which is my favorite, and they have their own coin, BNB. We call Bitcoin the king, and I completely agree. But it wouldn’t be called the king without its "people," which are the other crypto coins (not shit coins).
I don't think it is appropriate to classify bitcoin with altcoins together as cryptocurrency. Since all altcoins are similar I think the best word that is best to describe it is cryptocurrency and let bitcoin be describe with the word bitcoin, so that when we mention cryptocurrency we know we are talking altcoins. Let's give bitcoin some respect because of it uniqueness and not to categorise it among shitcoins all in the name of digital currency. Since the discussion is about bitcoin here it is better to be specific with the word bitcoin when making some point , and when we talk mention of cryptocurrency we know it is about the altcoin.
