The term Bitcoin-maximalist was first coined by the developer of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin.
Maximalist believes that Bitcoin BTC is the only cryptocurrency that matters.
Maximalists believe that most altcoins do not have real use cases and speculatively trade on exchanges to get more BitcoinsBTC.
This is a philosophy that has the right to exist.

Hm, okay, if that is the accepted, common definition, I am not a Bitcoin Maximalist.

I think it's a rather "quirky" definition, though.
There's a huge difference between someone who "believes that most altcoins do not have real use cases" and some trader who "speculatively trades on exchanges to get more Bitcoins".
I even fail to see any real connection between the two groups.

I, for one "believe" that most altcoins have no real use cases.
I don't really trade, though.
I also don't entertain the idea that there can never be an altcoin with a proper use case.
Which, in my eyes, doesn't support the notion that I'm some kind of "Maximalist" or dogmatic in any way.

And I also agree that most of the Altcoins will not find use in real life.

But I am sure that there will be exceptions.
