Calling maximalism an "ideology" is being kind. For many, it's a full-blown religion, and Saylor is their pope.

Let's be real: Bitcoin's job is to be the boring, stable, digital bedrock. It's the Fort Knox. It moves slow, it's secure as hell, and its main feature is that it doesn't change.

Everything else all the alts is the chaotic R&D lab. It's where DeFi, NFTs, and actual use cases beyond "HODL" are born and tested. Yeah, 99% of it is a dumpster fire casino, but that 1% is where all the innovation you mentioned comes from. A world without alts would be a world without progress. Incredibly boring and way less profitable.

Being a maxi is like saying you only believe in gold bars and think the entire stock market is a scam. You miss all the fun and all the potential tech breakthroughs. Balance is key. Bitcoin is the savings account; a few good alts are the high-risk, high-reward gambles.
