Forgive the clickbait title, but I'm really sick of seeing people using the name of bitcoin to promote their scam or, at best, their own version of the completely useless bitcon, just in the hope of pulling in a few bucks.
The latest gimmick is Bitcoin Black, as if black is enough to make a coin appealing.
But I could give other examples like Bitcoin cash, Diamond etc...
Let me tell you transparently, Bitcoin is one, no attempt to imitate, improve or emulate it will ever succeed in the long run.
So to those reading don't be fooled Bitcoin is one!!!
Not because it is free, cheap or the best performing currency, not even because it is eco friendly but because it is Bitcoin.
Because its network is the safest as there are millions of dollars spent on hardwere and electricity, because it has now reached a maturity where it is recognised as a store of value and useful for proper greater portfolio diversification, because it literally saves your ass in case of high inflation and because no one can deny you to spend it as you prefer.
In short Bitcoin is Bitocoin, and to quote Proietti in Horse Fever, the others aren't shit...
I'm not a Bitcoin maximalist but if you want to make your own currency, at least, have the imagination to call it whatever you like but don't exploit the good name of the king!!!
