If you’re a true Bitcoin maximalist, spend $100 of your stash to study Bitcoin’s competition

Buy some Zcash, try shielded pools & spend it via NEAR Intents

Buy some Monero, mine sone with your CPU, learn how the subaddress system works & buy something on XMR Bazaar

Buy some Ethereum, try Uniswap & create your first contract

Buy some Litecoin, try MWEB and then spend it at a merchant

Buy some Decred, see why their implementation of Lightning is more stable

Buy some Bitcoin Cash, play with CashFusion, CashTokens & see what you can do with the covenants

If you’re a true maximalist, you must think in terms of maximizing: bringing all the popular use cases to the network in which you are emotionally and financially most invested

Learn from other projects, then try to figure out how it can work on Bitcoin

You don’t need to buy more than $10 of each coin, consider this your education budget

Once you learn more, you will become a more valuable community member in Bitcoin. Not a cheerleader, but someone who can compare and think for himself.

You’re asking too much of The Bitcoin Normies who only care about HODL-ing, Vlad.

Yeah, let's not focus on building around a robust protocol and spread our attention among many types with various economic properties, use cases, code attention, and social network effects. That way we can make sure that the dollar stays in place as the defacto monetary exchange unit and get debased...

This is a tone deaf message at the moment. You're telling bitcoiners to spend time learning about non-bitcoin stuff at a moment when we need to be re-evaluating our own trust models and security setups.

Study the competition, just like I study optimal nutrition, focusing on whole animal foods.

I think it would be cooler if they could receive tips/zaps in other coins if people want to send a few to them, then they can use it, play with it, sell it, dump it all, and try it that way, it also feels like a gift that you received not a thing you bought and has to sell for "lost value" in the pr...

I dunno, not a maxi but I'll say I like that bitcoin wants to stay just money. The problem is of course that it isn't money, it can't be in its current form. But I also like other things, experiments, attempts at use cases and innovation elsewhere. I'd never want all the extra stuff to become part o...

Why? Bitcoin doesn't need new use cases. It has one purpose.
