I like the allegories used by
Lisa N. Edwards who has drown analogy between different blockchains and the roads people drive on and various coins with car they drive on. As she said bitcoin is like a Porshe on that roads while some other alt is like a Prius. Notwithstanding the fact that Prius saves gasoline "more people like Porsches over Prius". So, you are not "a crazy bitcoin maximalist". You just prefer Porsche over Prius.
I'd put it another way because it is not about coin preference, it's more about time preference and common sense. Those who are into altcoins love talking about profits, Lambos, and Porsches. They are consumerists. For them, the more money they get after dumping their altcoin, the happier they are because that means they now can afford a better car. If you see a person driving a luxury car, he is probably an altcoiner who recently made a ton of money by converting his favorite coin into fiat. Bitcoiners are opposite to consumerism and instant gratification. They would drive a cheap car that saves gasoline only because it would allow them to buy more bitcoins. They prefer to postpone gratification of their needs and not to consume today so that they can consume a lot more in the future. Hence, if you see a man driving his Prius, that probably means he is a bitcoiner who recently dumped a bag of fiat money again to buy more bitcoin.
