Bitcoin Maximalist
From CryptoWiki
(Redirected from Bitcoiners)
- Aka Bitcoin Maxi's or simply Bitcoiners (implying they only believe in Bitcoin, not in crypto at large).
- Bitcoin maximalists look down upon alternative use cases outside the domain of Bitcoin. Some go as far as calling every other cryptocurrency a ‘scam’.
- A common thesis in this school of thoughts foresees a future of Bitcoin features, in which all of the things people want in a crypto-currency – for now, higher capacity and smart contracts – are coded atop the Bitcoin protocol. Soft forks have been executed in the Bitcoin use case before, and the experiment has momentum; that is, miners are interested in carrying on the tradition at high costs and expenses.
