Yes I am, but you're conflating Bitcoiners with maxis. Not all Bitcoiners are maxis (Bitcoin-only crowd).
Discussion
The should be though
Don't you feel like crypto is just sucking the blood out of bitcoin like a leech? They all depend on it but pay it little respect.
Not really. Why should they? Im not
I get why you don't like pure shitcoin meme pump n dump coins/tokens, I don't either, but there are a handful of legit crypto communities out there other than Bitcoin. They do certain things better than Bitcoin. Or do things Bitcoin can't or wont do:
-Ethereum has smart contracts and rollups
-Litecoin has cheaper fees, faster confs, and MWEB
-BitcoinCash has cheaper fees, more TPS, safer 0confs DSPs (Double Spend Proofs), more decentralized node software and governance
-Nano is feeless, instant, and uses DAGs so extreme TPS
-Grin uses MimbleWimble so is extremely scalable and private
-Dai permissionless stablecoin
...and more
There are rarely maxis outside of Bitcoin, many in those communities are also Bitcoiners. You demand respect, but there are a lot of Bitcoiners who don't give respect to anything else, and don't even respect the cypherpunk vision of private, untraceable digital cash that came before Bitcoin
Beside the stablecoin, I don't think you need to use any of these other sh$tcoins. Just because they have a gimmick, or like to differentiate from BTC doesn't make them better.
The fact is they all offer things that users want that Bitcoin can't or wont do
They are testnets
Easy
Sh$tcoins are useless
Ok, if they're useless where do I go to use their tech on Bitcoin?
You don't until it gets integrated on bitcoin in some way
