Why Bitcoin no be crypto

[Eclipse01]

This statement don dey cause plenty debate since, a lot of people they call Bitcoin crypto, they try lump am with other cryptocurrency meanwhile them no be mate. Bitcoin dey unique, so unique it is incomparable to others, make I show you why.

Bitcoin truly is the first cryptocurrency founded by Satoshi Nakamoto, as well as the one who created this forum. 2008 he published the white paper, 3rd January 2009 the first ever Genesis block was mined, on the 12th the first transaction was recorded, marking the birth and workings of the network/protocol, in 2011 he sent a final email that he has moved on to other things and left it in the hands of Gavin and everyone (including you and I).

Bitcoin na the only currency that is uncontrolled, have true PoW, uninfluenced by anyone, the sweet part is, even if Satoshi comes back today, he doesn't have any influence in the network, no developer, admin or board member does, this can be hardly said about other so called "cryptocurrency".

Which other difference and uniqueness wey u think say dey

[Big Dirams]

Bitcoin is a decentralized currency that means it isn’t controlled by any individual, companies or any official body it just a digital currency on it own that works without any government regulation or controls. Just as the name implies decentralized which mean not owned or regulated by any body either officials or government none has the control of bitcoin that just the most interesting part about it.
 
 It just so funny seeing how people think about other  cryptocurrency and bitcoin as something that can be compared not knowing that bitcoin has a bigger stand in the cryptocurrency world. Many other cryptocurrencies can be influenced or even manipulated by many other bodies either by the government body or even the big whales.

 Your subject is conflicting your context.. the topic claims deviation of bitcoin  from crypto which is wrong because it is the cryptocurrency that gave birth to bitcoin as the first cryptocurrency but I guess you probably mean other altcoin are different from bitcoin. but in general they are all crypto currencies.

[Grace333]

If I'm being honest, the general name for all coins is cryptocurrency and bitcoin is amongst them but when it comes to discussion like distinguishing the best amongst them we tend to use the phrase "Bitcoin or/and other cryptocurrencies" you have done well in highlighting some key point why bitcoin is different from other coins.
Another reason why the distinction is necessary is, majority of altcoins have been known to have some scam characteristics like rug pull, pump and dump, failed projects... yet bitcoin seems to be the opposite of these characteristics possed by most project, however it's necessary to let people see the difference so they don't tag every coin as thesame.

Bitcoin truly is the first cryptocurrency founded by Satoshi Nakamoto,

Dude this line contradicts that title of yours and the things that you wrote. If bitcoin was founding by Satoshi Nakamoto as the first cryptocurrency, why  your topic talk say bitcoin no be crypto.

As the first cryptocurrency, bitcoin gave birth to other cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is not like others cryptocurrency that comes with flashy promises, but that doesn't still erase the fact that Bitcoin is crypto. Not only that, it is equally the King of other cryptocurrency

[Nathrixxx]

Permit me to correct you, starting from the title you used, speaking of why Bitcoin is not crypto, which is wrong, because Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. What you could have said is this: why Bitcoin cannot be considered an altcoin. This specifically explains your idea and the angle you're coming from.

Not back to Bitcoin and the aspect your discussion concentrates on, we can't have any other cryptocurrency that can fill the gap of Bitcoin, because it's all about privacy and everything works under a decentralized network, which we can learn from its whitepaper and also the history it makes right from inception.

Ok, lemme defend myself here, if we're going by logic, the word crypto doesn't necessarily mean cryptocurrency, it could mean, cryptography, cryptic, encrypting e.t.c, but we know wetin we dey talk about, even from my intro, I said

they try lump am with other cryptocurrency meanwhile them no be mate.

So we know what I'm talking about here

Their is no better way to say it my guy, they are all crypto currency in the best of my knowledge. This is no stuff we should be deliberating on because it is like arguing what you knows is already obvious to even an ordinary person. However their are more serious topics we should be discussing and not dragging what is already obvious, Bitcoin is still one of the crypto currency nothing change.

[DiMarxist]

OP I appreciate you for the thread but to set the records straights for the purpose of learning especially for newcomers to and even those intending of coming into Bitcoin.Crypto currency is the broad name that covers all coins which Bitcoin is also part of it, crypto currency can be divided to Bitcoin and the others which are known Altcoins. What makes Bitcoin unique is in the characteristics that Bitcoin possess which altcoins don't have, one of such quality is stability altcoins are highly unstable making them very volatile and not too advisable to invest.

Honestly speaking, all coins belongs to a family called cryptocurrency, and bitcoin being one of the coin is a member of this family but the difference is that bitcoin seems to be the most valuable among all other coins, when you look at the performance of bitcoin and other coins right from inception you will see that bitcoin have outperformed them all especially in terms of potential value. Most of this coins doesn’t have value even when held for years and are seen as shitcoins and for this singular reason, in order not to describe or relate bitcoin as a shitcoin because most of these cryptocurrencies are shitcoins, most people try to be specific when talking about bitcoin, they just go direct and say bitcoin so that they don’t mislead people into investing in any shitcoins.

To be honest, 'cryptocurrency' covers all coins, including Bitcoin. But when discussing the best of the bunch, we say 'Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies' for a reason. Bitcoin's different – it's not like most altcoins with scam red flags like rug pulls, pump-and-dumps, or failed projects. We need to highlight this distinction so people don't lump all coins together."

[Nwadiche]

Bitcoin na cryptocurrency, for the linage of Blockchain technology all coins including Bitcoin na cryptocurrency but when you enter inside the family you go know say different dey.  The papa be Bitcoin and the rest of them all na altcoin, and people usually use the term crypto to reffer to altcoin aside Bitcoin. Na just normal thing wey people dey use to differentiate them, but for inside the family them be cryptocurrency.

The thing dey surprising for me oo, because the first time I came across one argument like that for speculation board, for there people Dem dey argue oo say Bitcoin and cryptocurrency na totally different things and so many people sef dey agree to the point especially the senior man for there @jayjuangee

Bitcoin as hold a very strong ground in the world which is why people don't really know that cryptocurrency is a general name they all believe that bitcoin and cryptocurrency are different, most time they used to ask a lot of question saying that between Bitcoin and cryptocurrency which one is best? but anytime I come across this question i make sure that I sat down the person because with what I saw in him, he is ready to learn then I sat him down and show him the differences meaning cryptocurrency is a general name that covers Bitcoin ethereum, solana and etc.

True true, cryptocurrency na the general name sha, but most people for the forum(seeing say this na the forum Satoshi himself start for the sake of Bitcoin) don agree say make we no dey call Bitcoin cryptocurrency for the sake of segregation, so na e make my topic dey the way e dey, no doubt dey are all cryptocurrency, but for the sake of the forum, shey u get

[Majestic-milf]

 You just contradict yourself for this statement wey you make for the thread title. If Bitcoin no be crypto, wetin e be then? I feel say you suppose say Bitcoin dey more unique and set apart from from the other digital coins as nah e still dey make waves since the inception. Many people dey regard Bitcoin as something wey go get expiry date unto say just like some of the coins wey no last, e self go crash but overtime Bitcoin don prove e own superiority over the others.
 We get people with differing opinions about Bitcoin but that no mean say we go pay them mind.

[xiamin]

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that there is no way to deny. But to avoid mixing it with the adjective of those shitcoins, we call it Bitcoin. There are many frauds in the crypto market that cheat investors with coins. The global crypto platform would have been better if a few fraudsters had not spread fake coins in the market to earn more profits. Bitcoin has become a store of value due to its many unique features. It will continue to be adopted by developed countries of the world in the future. The price of Bitcoin is likely to increase several-x compared to the current price.

[PremiumcryptoHub]

As far as I know technically BTC is still a cryptocurrency anyway OP we have probably discussed these issues before but now we are discussing again in our Nigerian local board why Bitcoin is not a crypto. Actually by cryptocurrency we mean all coins but this BTC is completely different from all coins in simple words I can say that this coin is different from other coins because of its integrity, security and decentralization which inexperienced Nigerians like you should know. Also earlier an experienced person Jack Dorsey mentioned that Bitcoin is not a crypto so you should check out these articles to analyze more about this difference.

[JimaGod]

What are we even saying? Bitcoin is not crypto? Then you tell us what is a bitcoin is or the category it's been enlisted? This is not just convincing, next time you come up with facts because bitcoin is definitely enlisted under crypto. What you will say is bitcoin having one of the best and promising history in cryptocurrency. It'd been really a tough time for it's investors but who cares?

Bitcoin will definitely skyrocket to the moon which it have done over the years. Cryptocurrency is generally a space where we can get easy access to crypto altcoins and other features, the space might seem really convincing if one doesn't acquire the necessary basis of the space. You'd know cryptocurrency is not for everybody.

[WhoYouCantKill]

Normally, anybody wey compare Bitcoin with other altcoins or even put them for the same league clearly no understand the dynamics of bitcoin. Although some people wey Dey call Bitcoin crypto no Dey really talk say bitcoin Dey the same with other altcoins but for the single reason say many people sabi Bitcoin as the most popular digital money and the blockchain and bitcoin itself Dey built on a cryptographic system, so them Dey ignorantly pass message to others wey really understand wetin the talk really mean.
