It's pretty much as much an insult meaning selfish bastard as it is a label for beta testers at this point.

Also beta testers are called egoist yet so far we didn't see a single beta tester except Kirito and that random blue haired dude. Both are positive so where do they get bad rumored from and why should I believe and care if I didn't see example yet? And we are 8 episode in already.

Remember how back in the first episode, Klein was getting his butt kicked by the equivalent of a slime, and probably would have been killed by it without Kirito tutoring him in the game system? Once the death game was announced, a majority of the beta testers did the same thing that Kirito did and ditched the newbies, and ran out to secure the best advantage for themselves. Leaving the people like Klein that were simply inexperienced in the system to get killed by low level monsters without help from the more experienced players. Hence why the first month had such a disproportionately high number of deaths.
We haven't seen many beta testers because a good chunk of those that rushed out got killed by overconfidence, but that's not something people know. And if the other surviving known beta players are anything like Kirito, they're likely to be leaving people with the same sort of first impression that Kirito gave Lizabeth, or Kirito left the bandit guild with.
