OsaiEmma, I think you missed the point Tungbulu was trying to make.. Maybe take a little moment and read what he said again, not just the words but the context… He’s simply saying that using the term cryptocurrency to describe Bitcoin does more harm than good, especially to newbies…

Let’s be real, the word crypto has become so watered down these days. It is being used to describe every shit coins… So when you group Bitcoin with crypto, you’re unintentionally putting it in the same box as all of these shit coins and scams. That is the exact kind of miseducation we should be avoiding, especially for new people trying to understand what Bitcoin really is.

His point is that it is better we just call it Bitcoin or refer to it as a digital asset, because that separates it from the noise…

…………………………..

And also if you want to reply to 2, 3 or more different persons at once, it is possible and actually quite simple, rather than replying to each messages separately.. You just need to make use of the quote feature properly...

Firstly: Start by clicking the Quote button under the first person’s post. This will open the reply box with their message already quoted. The you type your response directly below their quote.

Secondly: you go to the second person’s comment, click same Quote, copy that entire quote, and paste it below the first reply… The do the same thing for the third person or more….

Lastly: you’ll have three quotes in one post, each followed by your individual response….

Example:
(quote author=User1)
Their comment here...

Ok, I get your point, you're trying to say Bitcoin is truly a crypto currency but for segregation sake we shouldn't call it that to show it's uniqueness from other crypto currency, right?

BTW I know how to quote more than 1 post, it's just I was being a bit lazy about it lol, thanks though

do you know what else is a digital asset, the so called shit coin, NFTs, gift cards, shares and bonds,

Bond is not a digital asset and not a cryptocurrency. Bond is a fixed income asset or debt security and are manage by a third party because bond is a traditional thing. Bonds has a fixed return why bitcoin doesn't have a fixed return because of her volatile nature as the price increases overtime. It's good that we make research before giving out wrong information so that you don't mislead newbies like you.

We have digital bonds though, I know we do have the traditional certificate type of bond, some bonds are now digital, do your research properly mr. Professional sir.

I mean, you can make corrections and share your knowledge without being cocky.

And BTW, not having a fixed return doesn't define a digital asset, like it doesn't make up for one of its characteristics.

I really like it when I see someone exchanging their opinions with each other and correcting their mistakes very nicely. Yes, we should be like that. If we argue and cannot correct our mistakes, then maybe we will never learn anything. So we should never argue we always need to learn through exchanging comments

@JJ Sir, thank you very much, because you explain everything so nicely. A small child will understand your comments later. I have been on this forum for a few days and in these few days I have learned almost a lot from you.

That’s why we all here to keep learning from each other opinion and stuff , making mistakes is normal we are humans we ain’t perfect so don’t be scared to say what is on your mind. Everyone is free to drop he or opinion Aslong not something that contains harmful words and stuff .

The best thing to do is to always learn from your mistakes I know this reply might sound a bit off topic just felt like dropping it either way because if others start dropping their own opinion without any fear of criticism we will be able to learn more .

Thank you so much for this

I largely disagree with you on this one, Bitcoin is a crypto currency as well as a digital asset, do you know what else is a digital asset, the so called shit coin, NFTs, gift cards, shares and bonds, e.t.c but guess what, not all are crypto currency, heck Bitcoin is more of a crypto currency than a digital asset.
Do you know that Alibab, Amazon, and some e-commerce websites are all digital assets to their respective owners, if the site shuts down, that's the end of their business, or source of income.

Even though Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, you should know the right time to refer to Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency, and since this thread is for Bitcoin investment and discussion, it is not advisable to refer to Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency so that newbies who are starting their Bitcoin investment won't think Bitcoin is the same as shitcoins. It is always advisable to refer to Bitcoin as Bitcoin for newbies to know there are big differences between Bitcoin and shitcoins, and it will help them not to invest in shitcoins unless they choose to risk a few dollars in shitcoins, and they will be responsible for any losses they incur. A bond isn't a digital asset because it entails lending money to a company or government in a given period, and you know you interest at the end of the period.

Noted sir, I also personally think just saying crypto currency in reference to Bitcoin is generally wrong, my debate was on the thought that the OP was saying Bitcoin is not a crypto currency rather a digital asset, so I wanted to give my own take on that, if he had pointed out that yes Bitcoin is truly a crypto currency, but when being referenced we should say Bitcoin or digital asset, my initial misunderstanding would have been cleared
