great for everyone diving into crypto.
What are you even talking about in this space, Don’t you know bitcoin? You’re meant to be talking about bitcoin and not crypto, and you might probably be referring to some shitty coins, and your statement might probably be misleading for newbies here, because when people hear about shit coins it sounds unappreciated to some individuals who knows what Bitcoin is all about and wouldn’t want to emphasize on some shitty coin in this domain.
I don't think he's misleading anyone, and he's even right. To be a smart investor, you must understand or master balance and risk management, because without these, you won't be successful in the crypto world. He also said having both is good for anyone involved in the crypto world.
You need to read the history again. Bitcoin can be called crypto, or more specifically, Bitcoin is the first and largest cryptocurrency. So, it's very strange to say Bitcoin isn't crypto. That's why Bitcoin can't be compared to other coins, because Bitcoin is the first crypto coin, and all of us involved in the crypto world must prioritize Bitcoin as an investment asset in the future.
I get your point, but calling Bitcoin not crypto is not quite convincing when you take one look at the history. It was called in the whitepaper by Satoshi a literal peer-to-peer electronic cash system and Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency of many thousands that arose before the appearance of thousands of altcoins. The point is that the Bitcoin is different since it does not have a team of founders, no marketing tricks, and a long history. And yes, it is crypto, but not in that way speculative tokens that enter and leave. Just do not treat Bitcoin like all the coins in the world, but you should not deny what this is.
