This is a creative article in the sense that I did not think it through for very long and just share whats in front of me.
I am no maximalist because I don't want to artificially restrict myself. On the other hand I admire clear thinking. And many clear thinkers seem to be (or have become?) maximalists.
I unfollowed some crypto commentators in the last months as they were trying to wiggle their way out of earlier positions that became untenable.
Many of them started strong sharing views that they have accumulated over years. Then they go from thinking much and publishing little into reverse mode as their following grows and they feel the pressure of producing.
Until crypto has reached the tipping point Bitcoin is vital. If it fails, crypto fails. Or it may become an also-ran tech in a banking stack. After the tipping point evolution and diversification will be easier - I think.
