Yes, i love the blockchain technology and the principles behind it but that does not mean that I'm big fan of bitcoin. If you think about it, blockchain means decentralized storage space, nothing more than that. Every transaction is nothing more than the next object in a json file, object which can store only address with the amount of coins it is holding and history of every transaction from and to the given address or you can store bigger things like photos as an example.  The only thing that prevents the transfer of bigger files is the broadband network speed.
Now for bitcoin - this is the first coin with the first blockchain but that does not mean that it is the best one. At the moment there is nothing that makes bitcoin unique save that it is the first and many of the first people using crypto have interest to inflame the hype. Bitcoin have slow transaction time (around 10 min to 20 sec for eth and 4 sec for cardano), high transaction fee, it is using big amount of resources worldwide (the miners and the asic mining which reward the use of asic chips who can only be used for mining unlike the gpu miner rigs used for eth which basically are just computers) because the PoW algorithm (eth will go to PoS)  and the only thing that bitcoin can be used for is for money storage and even that is questionable.

Bitcoin is good, but its Proof-of-Work algorithm is getting quite e out of hand. If other algorithms could be used, then there's no stopping for it.

Bitcoin will always be the genuine cryptocoin, it was developed as a store for value and indeed the future of Bitcoin is more valuable than gold, Bitcoin will always be a a part of the Blockchain without one of them they are worthless!

Bitcoin is not equal to blockchain, and blockchain is not the same as bitcoin. you can support blockchain, but to be against bitcoin.

Bitcoin is integrated on Blockchain technology. Bitcoin therefore shares in the features of Blockchain technology but Blockchain technology will exist and survive without Bitcoin. Blockchain technology record transactions across many computers so that the record cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks. So Bitcoin like other Cryptos is a record on the technology
