PSA: "Bitcoin Core" is not a cryptocurrency

It is the name of a software implementation of the Bitcoin protocol - the protocol for the cryptocurrency 'Bitcoin'. Anyone can make a different node program similar to Bitcoin Core, as long as it follows the protocol (consensus) rules. This is analagous to there being multiple web browsers for the http-protocol.

Some people dont seem to understand this.
