Is bitcoin the same as crypto?

“The Complete Bitcoin F.A.Q.” is a series for total beginners. Straight answers to real questions—no hype, no technical nonsense.

Not even close.

Yes, technically Bitcoin is a type of cryptocurrency—but that’s like saying the ocean is just another swimming pool.

They both hold water. Only one can move the world.

Bitcoin is the original. It didn’t raise money from investors. It wasn’t launched by a company. It doesn’t have a founder cashing in on your clicks. It runs on open rules and honest math—not marketing hype.

Most of the other stuff lumped under “crypto” doesn’t work like that. They’re often controlled by insiders. Tweaked behind closed doors. Pumped and dumped. Rebranded. Relaunched. Rehyped. I’m looking at you Ripple.

But to someone just hearing about all this for the first time, it all sounds the same. Bitcoin, crypto, coins, tokens, NFTs—whatever. It’s a blur.

That’s called Categorization Bias—our mental shortcut for sorting things into buckets, even if those buckets don’t make sense. Once something gets grouped in your mind, it’s hard to pull it back out and see it differently.

And that’s a problem.

Because Bitcoin wasn’t just the first—it’s still the only one that’s truly decentralized, with a fixed supply no one can inflate. That’s not marketing. That’s design. Bitcoin is slow on purpose. Conservative by choice. Focused on one goal: sound money for the world.

Crypto is chasing the next trend.

Bitcoin is building the next century.
