I've been in this space since 2014. I have always been a Bitcoin Maximalist. Than 2017 happened, and it was hard not to chase altcoins. After the hype died down, and the dust settled, I realized that there is room to be a BITCOIN/ETHEREUM Maximalist. Every other project is a "me too," or a clone, or redundant, or vaporware. The only two blockchains we need right now are Bitcoin and Ethereum...and we need BOTH! Not just Bitcoin anymore.
I love Bitcoin...LOVE it! But when it really comes down to it, I use Ethereum in actual, practical use cases. I recently bought something in USDC...which utilizes Ethereum. Stablescoins, ICOs, IEOs, SEOs, Defi will be built on Ethereum.
I have fallen in love with Ethereum as hard as Bitcoin, and I see value in both. Ethereum is extremely elegant, and may end up being more important in this space than Bitcoin one day. It is the foundation of the Defi movement.
So there can be a category of people who consider themselves BTC/ETH Maximalists.
Under 2017 bitcoin and ethereum look like have connected where bitcoin with higher price ethereum can potential to be on higher price too, but today when bitcoin can raise above $7k ethereum look weakness with lower price today about $144, how come ethereum and bitcoin have far away price not the same like three years ago when ethereum can up more than above $1k.
