 thank you for your opinion. the fact is, cryptocurrency is not a label, it is the type of currency that bitcoin is. you will not stop this accurate descriptor in the wild. in my experience for successful onboarding it is better to differentiate between cryptocurrencies by, as you said, just saying bitcoin...to which i would add, all the other cryptocurrencies are called altcoins (aka shitcoins) to btc maxies...and here's why etc.

imo, if the video said that bitcoin is a cryptocurrency but not like others we btc maxies call altcoins or shitcoins, because bitcoin is bitcoin and there's a reason why it's #1, and here's why, then the point would be clear 
 i like julian's videos. this is constructive fb. i am not here to argue about it. take it or don't, but the approach of this video sayong btc is "labeled" as a cryptocurrency, but isn't crypto it true only as long as you talk to btc maxies...while the rest of the industry and most all exchanges call btc crypto (as in cryptocurrency), is confusing to normies. period. 
 Thank you. 🌺
