Bitcoin Maximalist
a.k.a. Bitcoin maxi, Maxi
Someone who believes Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that matters and dismisses almost all others.
In plain English
Someone who believes Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that matters and dismisses almost all others.
A Bitcoin maximalist, or "maxi", thinks Bitcoin is the one true crypto and nearly everything else is a distraction or a scam. To a committed maxi, most altcoins are shitcoins.
Their case rests on Bitcoin's security, fixed supply and track record. Critics call the stance tribal. It's a reminder that crypto is full of strong beliefs, and that conviction, however loud, isn't evidence.
