Last week I flew out to San Francisco and met with a number of Bitcoin Cash enthusiasts. Every single one of them was incredibly smart with incredible ideas. Many of them have said some things that have made me think quite a lot about crypto and its current state of affairs.

Notably one opinion that more and more people seem to share is that perhaps we should stop calling other cryptocurrencies "altcoins". I admit that it was probably fair terminology when cryptos first started coming around, but now there are several of them with multi-billion dollar market caps. They've certainly earned their place as full-fledged cryptos, even if not all of them should really be labelled as "currencies".

Expanding on that last statement, it's clear that "currency" isn't really the right definition for many cryptos these days. Ethereum, for example, doesn't really seem like a great currency. On the other hand, it's amazing for decentralized applications running on the blockchain. Different use-case than, say, Bitcoin Cash, which is a great currency.
