Michael Goldstein on The Bitstein Brief

The term was first used as a pejorative against bitcoiners who rejected shitcoins, but even the arguments they were denouncing were often strawmen. The point being that the term itself has always been nebulous. As a positive description for myself, I might sum it as the following: a "bitcoin maximalist" believes the market tends towards a single monetary good ("monetary maximalism"), that good will be bitcoin, and promoting or developing alternative cryptocurrencies is a strategic error, often with ethical implications as well. So, I'm basically a "monetary maximalist." I've also elsewhere discussed "portfolio maximalism," "payments maximalism," and "platform maximalism": https://twitter.com/bitstein/status/1002646038711283713
