#Bitcoin is something incredibly special. The fact that it has made it this far is almost a miracle. It is the only truly decentralized coin. True decentralization is extremely rare and no other altcoin will ever be able to duplicate this feature.

Completely decentralized and organic growth without a central party behind it. This was only possible because Bitcoin came first. This was only possible with Bitcoin and will never be possible again.

For an altcoin to succeed, you always need a company or foundation behind it and lots of marketing to counter Bitcoin even a little bit. This is what gives Bitcoin its scarcity. This is what makes it digital gold.

If Bitcoin ever fails, either through a mistake, a controversial hard fork, an infight, or another coin taking its place, the scarcity property will be gone and ...

... the dream of decentralized sound money will likely be lost forever. But each day that Bitcoin lives on, fortunately, becomes less and less likely. That's why Bitcoin needs to be protected at all costs. People hate Bitcoin maximalists, but they should thank them.

It should be in the interest of this entire industry to make Bitcoin a success. It needs to succeed in every way. We only have one chance.
