bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. this idea that bitcoin isn't crypto is relatively new and only bitcoin maximalists actually believe it. the industry certainly has moral people who behave themselves and they're not all bitcoin maximalists. it doesn't actually do any good to try to set bitcoin apart in an attempt to appeal to public sentiment. it just makes the whole thing reek of sectarian quarreling.

A dollar scam or a snake oil scam?
If a scammer asks you to send bitcoin in exchange for xyz which is never delivered or worthless, is it a Bitcoin or an xyz scam?
