I get being annoyed with people who are so blindly gung-ho about one cryptocurrency that they refuse to
acknowledge that any other crypto could possibly have any merit, but comparing that to racism?

That's a bit much.



Bitcoin Cash’s Roger Ver compares Bitcoin maximalists to racists and says the Australian Government is too
unreasonable to let him visit.

Bitcoin Cash main man Roger Ver has zero time for Bitcoin Maximalists.

Maximalists are, of course, the hardcore fundamentalists of crypto – true believers that the one and only true
coin is Bitcoin and that all other projects are by definition ‘shitcoins’.

“I think it’s kind of like a form of racism and tribalism. It’s like: ‘oh, my group is better than your group’,”
he told Micky.

I'm not sure where to start, this happens to be a quite terrible analogy. I understand what he means or or is insinuating (at least the jist of it) but it definitely came out wrong. I think he's referring to how biased many people can be within the crypto community, when it comes to being an advocate of certain coins and features. I agree a lot of crypto enthusiast see the majority of alternative coins (besides Bitcoin) as shit coins.
     I think Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin as a proof of concept to demonstrate the potential capabilities of the Block-chain. I think is nothing more than a proof of concept for other system to be modeled after it's likeness and image. If it weren't then why release code that was open source?
