Many bitcoin maximalists live in the fantasies of an idealistic theory of bitcoin as a world currency.
But apparently from the lack of education and less understanding of the general structure of the economy, they do not notice how other crypto-currencies become real world digital currencies, and not just means of accumulation and speculation.
Who told you that bitcoin was created to become a currency? It is for transactions still it may not be for your daily life. If bitcoin is for your day to day life then why it was designed by having gold in mind? So, come out of misconceptions before underestimating the level of education and awareness of bitcoin maximalists.
