Lol wat, no. How does «don’t shitcoin» equal statist buttlicking? You seem confused
Discussion
I think Alex was referring to the SEC simps who’re begging for ETH regulation
Are SEC simps even maxis?
i think they would contest the characterization 😂
I guess definition of a maxi differs from person to person.
My two sats:
A true maxi just runs node/miner.
A true maxi knows Bitcoin does not need any help nor lobbying.
A true maxi knows every attack makes Bitcoin just stronger.
A true maxi tries to help other people by explaining the exploitation of fiat and the beauty of sound money.
A true maxi spreads the wisdom of Austrian economics.
A true maxi does not advocate for interventionism.
And most importantly, when a group of true maxis get together in person, it’s the happiest and most hopeful place on earth
i like the thought, but the reality is that Bitcoin Maxis by definition call out „scammers“, and celebrate and support nation state adoption and regulatory clarity.
Ah come on, you cannot say by definition. Not all maxis are the same.
i can. agree they are not but there is a consensus online and enough writing on this already. You’re seriously going to argue that maxis don’t take it upon themselves to call out scammers? there are tenants that everyone more or less already agrees on.
now again, you could say well Im more of a fundamentalist or moderate maxi or neo maxi, but btc maximalism as imomortalized over the last few years online def carries that trait
Calling out scammers, yes. However, don’t see how this is a bad trait.
Supporting nation state adoption and regulatory clarity. Not so sure about that one. Would agree on nihilism about nations trying to tame Bitcoin.

Anyway, I think it’s useless to discuss about a universal definition of a maxi. I told you my view, what a maxi defines. If some people think different, that’s fine for me. I don’t want to control the definition of this word.
Not all of them. And as I said before that was an unexpected event were most bitcoiners took it as good news in first place before thinking about it. Then many changed views in the topic
i am not confused. Maxis look to the dollar to fail for their thing to succeed. Bitcoin is still correlated. maxis look for regulatory clarity to run bitcoin businesses and mining ops look for regulatory friendliness.
i’m just pointing out, not advocating. if people are upset about this characterization they should spearhead a new group of fundamentalists agnostic to state who don’t ask for fewer cap gains taxes
