Embrace being a maximalist and keep the scammers at bay.
It's not every project that is a scam tho, some project are still legit and even if they will experience any challenge that can cause them to fail just like Luna did, before that will happen, you have already taken your profit. Although, you can stay a maximalist if you can not bear the risk that is attached to investing in other projects.
I don't blame anyone for chosen to be a bitcoin maximalist as it's a fault not theirs, for the coin has earned it and if there develops any other altcoins that could match up to that position as bitcoin has, then we won't be having this discussion. Investors are mostly interested to put their money on assets with considerable measure of security, less risk and not some potential pump and dump coin's. And most importantly, for the drama's many investors has experienced with many of these altcoins they had trust on but which later became a disappointment you then don't really expect to see a growing maximalists community forming around any altcoin.
