Bitcoin DXB - Live via LinkedIn
Session 4: Bitcoin vs Cryptocurrency

Hosts: Justin Harper & RA George
Date: 27th March
Time: 10:00 AM GST (30-45 mins)
Location: LinkedIn Live

Justin Harper and RA George explore Bitcoin vs. cryptocurrencies, covering definitions, forks, categories, and key developments shaping digital assets.

Bitcoin: A decentralized digital currency enabling peer-to-peer transactions without banks, using its blockchain.
Cryptocurrency: A broader category of digital assets secured by blockchain, independent of central authorities.

Bitcoin is the most recognized, but thousands of altcoins exist (Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, etc.).
"Anything that isn’t Bitcoin is called an altcoin!" – George.

Over 100 forks, including Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, and Bitcoin Satoshi Vision.
Why do forks happen?
- Community disagreements
- Smart contracts, privacy, or block size improvements
- The biggest split occurred in 2017 (Bitcoin Core vs. Bitcoin Cash).
Future forks? Institutional involvement (BlackRock, governments) could lead to new ones.

Layer 2 solution for faster transactions (up to 1M TPS).
Works like a bar tab: open & close channels.
Concerns: Centralization, slow adoption.
El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal tender using Lightning Network.

Altcoins – Compete with Bitcoin (Ethereum, Solana, Cardano).
Stablecoins – Pegged to fiat (USDT, USDC, DAI).
Utility Tokens – Provide access to services (Chainlink, Uniswap).
Meme Coins – Speculative, community-driven (Dogecoin, Shiba Inu).
Privacy Coins – Enable anonymous transactions (Monero, Zcash).
CBDCs – Government-issued digital currencies.
Security Tokens – Tokenized real estate & stocks.
Governance Tokens – Used for decentralized decision-making.
Gaming & Metaverse Tokens – Power virtual economies.
DePIN Coins – Decentralized infrastructure tokens.
AI Tokens – Emerging AI-focused assets.
Citycoins – Used by cities to mine Bitcoin or other assets.

Mysterious origins (Satoshi Nakamoto remains anonymous).
Decentralized (No central control or CEO).
Fixed Supply (21 million BTC, making it deflationary).
Secure (Strongest blockchain with the longest history).
Resilient (Survived crashes, bans, and technical challenges).

Bitcoin Risks: Volatility, regulation uncertainty, technical complexity.
Crypto Risks: Scams, centralized control, security vulnerabilities.

The Bitcoin vs. broader crypto divide is growing.
Bitcoin remains the most decentralized, while altcoins introduce innovation.
Institutional interest (BlackRock, governments) is shaping the next phase of digital assets.
Will Bitcoin remain dominant, or will crypto adoption shift?
