4000 words about how i don't even need you guys...
there certainly is a brand of bitcoin culture that is guilty of what Carter is criticizing here, but i don't believe it is what bitcoin maximalism is.
To be excruciatingly clear, because people try and dance around “maximalism” and pretend it’s not real, these people exemplify the philosophy I’m talking about (in no particular order): Pierre Rochard, Saifedean Ammous, Greg Maxwell (retired), Jimmy Song, Samson Mow, Francis Pouliot, Adam Back, Michael Saylor, Marty Bent/Matt Odell, Jack Mallers, Giacomo Zucco, Parker Lewis, Cory Klippstein, Max Keiser and countless diminutive laser eyed Twitter anons
Among these people there are plenty of influencer type opinions, and maybe they have become captured by their audiences so that they preach a dumber doctrine than what they started with, but I didn't see Carter actually address the core tenant of bitcoin maximalism (ie censorship resistance is the principal value prop of bitcoin and without it, you really just have regulatory arbitrage). Many of the people he names understand this value proposition at least a little.
Bitcoin maximalism will be around for a good while yet, and there will be more and even final-er eulogies of it in the years to come.
The pot calling the kettle black.
If you pick all the things retards on twitter say for engagement then I'm sure you're going to drive a whole lot of... engagement.
LOL like this guy
such a loser.
From 2023 to 2025, USD lost 75% of its value against BTC, so I'd give the apocalyptic collapse predictions at least a "B" grade.
