"Talk to a\\xa0bitcoin maximalist\\xa0\\u2013 someone who believes that bitcoin is the only digital asset with innate value \\u2013 and, more likely than not, they\\u2019ll tell you the world\\u2019s oldest cryptocurrency is, in fact, \\u2018not crypto\\u2019 at all.

\\n

The refrain can be confusing: clearly, bitcoin pioneered the use of cryptography \\u2013 an ultra-secure type of encryption \\u2013 with the aim of creating a digital currency. Bitcoin is the archetypal crypto.

\\n

And yet, in the context of how the digital asset marketplace has evolved since 2009, when bitcoin was created, it\\u2019s easy to see why maximalists distance themselves from the more generic term" \\u2014 Martin Leo Rivers
