True crypto does exist.

Bitcoin is true crypto.

When I mine Bitcoin, and I use that Bitcoin to buy something from someone else, that is true crypto.

When I sell something for Bitcoin, that is true crypto.

When I exchange fiat for Bitcoin at a centralized exchange, and I successfully withdraw it to a self-custody wallet. That is acceptably close to true crypto.

Same goes for Monero.
