Again, hopefully no one is fucking around with shitcoins.
You are right JJG since this is a Bitcoin discussion thread the term crypto in this thread can be misleading for there are other thread in the forum where one can easily discuss about crypto but in this thread one is likely to be specific when trying to discribe the type of coins he or she is referring to for more understanding in other not to mislead those that that doesn't know much difference between Bitcoin and shitcoins, trading in shitcoins can be very much risky because they are very much unreliable.
Hopefully people will differentiate bitcoin and crypto so if they always include bitcoin on whole circulation then provably that it will create confusion to newbies especially there are lots of shitcoins out there claiming to be the next bitcoin. So if they leave a mark by calling bitcoin as that thing then provably they might believe on those shitcoins then get scammed with it.
Being specific on important things will create good decision making towards selecting the best coin for them and for sure they would always think about bitcoin first rather than paying attention on those scam shitcoins. They would really experience to get fucked up by shitcoins if they push to acquire those token and believe that high risk high reward thing. Since those word statement is just a trap since many scams will just confused them.
