Unless you are outsourcing your critical thinking all of the buzz words are nonsense but they can be used to signify a simple concept. Any fear by those who are not interested doesn't matter and any fear against propaganda is justified as there is a desire to seek an idea.
Something is not the truth if all of the facts are not laid out. Like pretending that Bitcoin doesn't exist. Look at Brave browser as an example it's all about "crypto" but they have nothing to do with BITCOIN because it doesn't exist. If Brave adopted sats it would be a beast application but it is not. They want to pretend and play and scam.
If it's not BITCOIN it's a scam and if it's not being advertised it's a project that wants to be the backup in case Bitcoin loses is luster.
There is so much to learn and do in Bitcoin that all the other projects of "crypto" are just reinvented wheels that look like triangles, squares and trapezoids.
