What separates true believers from the rest? Bitcoin stands apart. Everything else—the endless parade of altcoins, the speculative plays, the projects chasing hype—these are the noise. But a nation truly committed to Bitcoin? That's a different kind of experiment. One that asks: can you maintain conviction when volatility is the only constant? Can institutional adoption and decentralized principles coexist? That's the question worth asking. Bitcoin maximalism isn't dogmatism—it's clarity about which layer actually matters in this ecosystem.

True believers have already been stacking Bitcoin, while all those other things are definitely just noise.

In the end, only BTC has survived the longest... all the altcoins are dead.

Talking about strategies on paper, how many truly dare to go all-in on Bitcoin?

Bitcoin extremism dressed in "clarity," or is it just the same old story...

To be honest, the maximalism theory sounds very clear, but how many can really withstand the pullback?

Basically, it's the difference between faith and gambling.

The idea of Bitcoin maximalism sounds a bit like "I was right to bet, so I'm smarter"... But on the other hand, there is indeed some substance to it.

Honestly, this tone is a bit too absolute. Are all altcoins trash? Maybe, but some are indeed doing the right thing. Maximalism sounds pretty high-level, but in reality, it's just a matter of faith... Can a country really rely on BTC to support itself? With such high volatility, ordinary people have already left. Institutional and decentralized coexistence? Ha, these two are inherently opposed. That said, Bitcoin is indeed different... others are just hype. Maximalists are not wrong, but just don't turn everyone into extreme followers. If volatility were truly the only constant, then this game is simply not suitable for most people. Clarity ≠ correctness, maximalism should reflect and reconsider.
