Crypto has become the new DEI.
People call bitcoin 'crypto' or 'digital asset' to avoid seeming exclusive or bullying, out of fear of cancellation. However, we shouldn't repeat that mistake.
The correct term is Bitcoin and there is no second best.
To be honest, I used to dumb it down by calling Bitcoin 'crypto.'
At the end of the day, individuals need to conduct their own research. It's best to use relatively neutral language while clearly stating that there's no second-best when it comes to good money. Not need to be overly toxic.
