Different definitions then.

For me a maxi is someone who pigheadedly ignores everything else, they tend to be arrogant and loud and narrow-minded, and treat Bitcoin like a religion.

NGU is only a component of the maxi derangement syndrome the way I see it, in that it is what they cling to in order to assert their superiority (ego grasping), because obviously they're so smart and right since Bitcoin tends to overperform everything else.

His point is that maxis use XMR/BTC to denigrate XMR whichever ways it goes (up or down vs BTC), not that BTC is a better store of value historically and presently, which everyone knows.

Now if only we could all agree on the basic fact that XMR has better privacy eh 🙂

You know what's really pathetic?

People like you who uncritically call anything that is not their shiny digital rock a "shitcoin".

Do you have any idea about the kind of technology, mathematics and cryptography that makes something like #monero work? Do you realize it's actually more complex than Bitcoin?

Rhetorical question, because obviously you can't appreciate it.

Your level is parroting the same shit everyone else around is parroting, you think it makes you look smart. Maybe to the other parrots it does.

People far smarter than you invested tremendous amounts of time and energy to create a system like Monero and make it work. And work it does.

People like you not only cannot understand the technology, you can't even understand why it exists.

I like your optimism.

I think it will be <1% and because of the lack of privacy (who is hosted and self-custodial can be discerned from the transparency) those of us who self-custody will be considered high-risk and subject to insane scrutiny whenever interacting with aboveground institutions.
