If Bitcoin Maximalism is about ONLY bitcoin ONLY, this begs the question why? Is it because of greed? Because some/most altcoins have seen higer returns than BTC and many seem to take short sighted solution paths.

For example BTC was the first to argue for scaling in layers, its also the only coin with a baselayer that is supposed to have security paid for mostly by fees as far as i know. Its possible this wont matter in the end and crypto will have value just because.. Sort of like fiat.. Its has value just because.. And it doesent matter if there were pre-mines, hardforks, centralization incentives and so on. But who knows.
