Perhaps not for human consumption?

Here's a post that I drafted and I was going to post, but the thread got locked while I was drafting such post:

Personally, I don't have any major problem with the use of the term cryptocurrency as long as it is being made clear regularly regarding what it is being referred to, and sometimes people attempt to make comparisons between bitcoin and shitcoins and even try to proclaim that some shitcoins are better than bitcoin.. so then their use of the term crypto is to attempt to put bitcoin and shitcoins on similar levels, as if they were similar things.. which is also misleading... so then it becomes even more necessary to make sure that such use of such term is not misleading people into thinking that bitcoin and shitcoins are similar.. even though technically and even definitionally it may well be true that they all fit within a similar category that could be referred to as cryptocurrencies....

In some sense it seems better to continue to denigrate various shitcoins to offset their ongoing marketing attempts in which they attempt to place themselves as bitcoin equals, so then so many folks get sucked into shitcoins because they consider bitcoin and shitcoins as if they were some kind of equal or similar in such a way that the shitcoins could end up taking market share from bitcoin in any kind of lasting and/or meaningful way... so it can be difficult to get sucked into a process in which we are either having to defend bitcoin or to denigrate shitcoins in order to make the point that many folks should be attempting to learn bitcoin first before they even allow themselves to get sucked into various shitcoins... and yeah sure, there maybe be some folks who might learn quickly, yet even very smart people get sucked into some of the technical rather than sound money aspects of various shitcoins and then end up considering that there might be some value in various shitcoins, and so they end up disproportionately investing time, energy and money into shitcoins that would have had been better to have had been invested into bitcoin.

So, sure it may sometimes start to feel dogmatic when bitcoiners are insisting on make it clear that bitcoin remains the one to focus on and figure out first and suggesting that folks try not to get distracted into shitcoins even though surely there are some folks who might be able to sufficiently identify the sound money aspects of bitcoin that should help to make it more clear regarding why involvement in various shitcoins becomes problematic and difficult to ensure not to get overly distracted into them. 

We cannot really stop people from trying to argue in favor of shitcoins and to want to make comparisons between bitcoin and shitcoins, yet some of the bitcoin threads are not really receptive to that kind of off-topicness, and so in that regard, there tend to be threads in which questions of diversification into shitcoins might be a bit more on topic as compared to a thread like this one that seems to be more focused on bitcoin, even though surely some members might want to know how shitcoins might fit into their bitcoin investment... which I personally think that no more than 10% of your bitcoin value, or time or energy should be allowed to be spent on shitcoins and/or trading (gambling), and surely a person who has more resources might be able to afford to be more distracted.  Poor people likely should not be fucking around with any of those things.. yet I understand that some poor people might consider that it is quite difficult for them to earn money in regular ways, and so then they might end up resorting to trading and/or getting involved in shitcoins, which does not seem likely to be a kind of living that a person is able to both live off of and continue to build an investment portfolio, even though there may be a very small percentage who are able to figure out ways to successfully employ their skills (or maybe luck) in that direction.<<<<<<<<<
