I have heard that they are aiming to make an exception for Bitcoin only but try to stop everything else.

That would be a really horrible outcome because Bitcoin is by far the most outdated and least useful cryptocurrency.

nobody is trying to make an exception for just bitcoin, they are trying to fix it for the whole class of crypto and broader digital payments
