I thought everyone decided Bitcoin was a store of value, not a transaction currency?


The parent talked about cryptocurrencies, not blockchain, not bitcoin. There is a huge difference.


pardon my ignorance. I though Bitcoin was (is) a cryptocurrency. Can you explain the difference please?


Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin is a blockchain.

Not every cryptocurrency is a blockchain

So not every cryptocurrency is Bitcoin

And not every blockchain is Bitcoin


Ah I see. Thanks.
