You're being an idiot. It's like saying the Penny Black is not a prepaid stamp because it was the first.
Not only that but, frankly, it's a discredit to all the cypherpunks before, during and after bitcoin. This evolutionary process continues even without lame ass comments like yours.
The Diffie-Hellman discovery of public key cryptography is, imo, probability the single most critical turning point in cryptography, but not the last because a few other critical components were yet to be thrashed out.
Again, this process continues and bitcoin becomes a blip in the history books, albeit somewhat interesting. For a start, the transparent UTXO model has completely blown apart any hope for privacy. Sure, we can talk about Schnorr signatures and LN nodes, but how about MimbleWimble, ZKPs, Lelantus and other works? Bitcoin MIGHT assimilate some of these technologies but it couldn't possibility represent all monetary policies to all people. That's why bitcoin is crypto, just one of many.
OTOH, there are a lot of shitcoins lol, but let's not throw out the baby with the bath water.
