What is your definition of a bitcoin maximalist?

Someone on X was claiming it means wanting everything on bitcoin, I replied:

Disagree—A bitcoin maximalist is someone who believes in peer-to-peer electronic cash, not defi, trading, NFTs, or other shitcoinery. "Maximalism" means being all in on bitcoin and the promise of bitcoin (the problem it solves: broken money), as opposed to having anything to do with alts.

They said "No, that's minimalism"

Which, in a sense is correct, but is also nonsensical as a descriptor.

To be precise you could say bitcoin "as a inflationless electronic cash system" maximalist

Because what they are saying is more like bitcoin "as an immutable database for anything you want" maximalist
