The saying is "Bitcoin, not crypto." Not "Bitcoin is not crypto."

The point being that the value comes exponentially from the network effect. Money is chosen as the most salable item, making monetary systems a winner takes all game. There are a number of arguments that favor Bitcoin, like that it was a discovery that can't be repeated. All other crypto currencies are controlled by a central body and lack true decentralisation. They all have a narrative, but the reality is that if they were really superior, the developments would be incorporated into Bitcoin. Such as lightning network solves the issue of scaling better than larger block chains that limit the ability of the average person to run a node and verify the blocks. Or fedmints to solve the privacy issues.
