Finally, people start to understand that Bitcoin maximalism is a counter-productive idiocy that will always harm mass adoption of Bitcoin. About time.
You are very wrong, Bitcoin maximalism is simply Newton's Third Law in its finest:
for every action there is a reaction
Bitcoin maximalism is only a self-defence mechanism against: fragmentation.
Because fragmentation means that Bitcoin cannot fulfill the social role of money
And even our "enemy" i.e. Bank for International Settlements lays the cards on the table:
"Fragmentation means that crypto [i.e. Bitcoin] cannot fulfil the social role of money."

Be your own bank regardless if you are far left or right.
And avoid your own bank fragmentation.

Lol Bitcoin will be captured in a blink with people like you. We don't care about mass adoption this is a high time preference greedy fiat bro hope.
Only the ethos counts. Without it Bitcoin is obviously doomed. How do you want a mass adoption to happen without the core value of maximalism being spread widely and endorsed by a maximum number of Bitcoiners ?
Sovereignty, privacy, immutability, uncensorability. Those who don't care about these values don't need Bitcoin, so no "mass adoption" you get it ?
