I may be stuck in the echo chamber, but I’ve genuinely looked for any that seem attractive, and been consistently disappointed. That includes Nano. Doesn’t mean there might not be a pleasant surprise one day though! I currently think a neutral, profit-incentive-free observer doesn’t choose any alt coin. Always happy to change my mind on that though. Could earn a bunch of money if I can find the right one too so it’s not that there is no incentive. Bitcoin has painfully few doubling cycles left :)

I think it's important to not get hyperfocused and solely view one thing as the only option.
Lots of valid and good points in this thread.
My whole point here is to help people understand that you can keep being a Maxi but don't shut the door on all crypto without having a wide a broad viewpoint. There are many exciting things happening all around.
Glad you still can see that.
I don't think you can be a maxi, and remain open to the crypto space...
I also think that all good ideas from the crypto space (which admittedly exist, only that they are built on sand), will be built on Bitcoin.
Sure, whatever the definition of maxi (person who thinks bitcoin will be the only currency or person who doesn’t read about any other projects), I was responding as a Nostr user.
And I think you’re right, at least for most things. Some things like some base layer innovations won’t be figured out on bitcoin. But I think we’d agree they don’t need to. Bitcoin will likely get either close to or better features via L2 etc. LN + ecash is amazing for example. And now even NFTs lol.
