Bitcoin is dumb, but it’s honest about its dumbness. The dumb bits are largely forward looking. Web3 is dumb but also fraudulent, because it lies about what it is.

Bitcoin is boring. It’s a decentralized ledger. It’s effectively the missing protocol for money on IP.

Everything else is a security, by definition.

Everything else is an altcoin, by definition.

Some of which distribute their coins more fairly than bitcoin, and are thus definitely not securities.
