Actually both Bitcoin, shitcoin, altcoins etc are all embedded in Cryptocurrency but because of the potentials Bitcoin has over all other coin, we have to address it different from other cryptocurrency and we ought to specify Bitcoin whenever we are talking about it so that newbie won't go and invest in the wrong place and I believe these are the reasons we should not..., maybe when those other cryptocurrency prove themselves they can also be set aside as Bitcoin but until then Bitcoin shouldn't be address as cryptocurrency because there is more to Bitcoin than those...
Indeed bitcoin is now a father of all coin in the market but that does not change the fact that bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, we still have every right to describe it as
cryptocurrency so anyone that is using the term Crypto currency"
is not wrong but when we are making use of this term
Crypto currency" it means that we are referring to all the coin that is present in the Crypto market. So anyone that is giving reference need to be specific to enable those who are not familiar with this term to know where they are heading.
How often will it be told or said that bitcoin shouldn't be described as a cryptocurrency before people like you will learn i can see that you are the type who will failed exam or test in school and still failed correction.
I believe this thread is talking about bitcoin accumulation and not about cryptocurrency the reason we should use bitcoin is that many has fall victim of investing into so Ponzi Investment because they were misinform and mislead by people like who still failed to realize that bitcoin is bitcoin and not cryptocurrency if you want to make some references or describing a particular coin to person since you know there are different and untrusted coin in the vague word cryptocurrency you can hit the nail at the head by going straight to the point or by been specific enough to call bitcoin as bitcoin and shitcoin as shitcoin and never cryptocurrency and i hope you don't argue further about this.
