Altcoins have been around since 2013. I played with quite a few that year. When Ethereum launched, I was an insider in the right place at the right time, who could be sitting on $Billion$ right now if I didn't have my "high & mighty" bitcoin maximalist attitude. I'm not sorry. That attitude exists, in all of the old school bitcoiners, to do exactly one thing: To protect bitcoin's censorship resistance. Something no altcoin or stablecoin will ever have. It served us very, very well during the blocksize war. Just because you don't value censorship resistance (which is, let's face it, the only thing that keeps governments from stopping a competitor) doesn't mean bitcoiners don't. We're still laser focused on that task. Calling bitcoin's utility "Speculative" makes you look like a state-loving bootlicker.

LOL. Bitcoin is not censorship resistant at all for any practical use. That’s why dissidents use Monero. I myself became a Monero user because people who I sent and received Bitcoin from ended up getting their exchange accounts suspended after my exchange account was suspended. Bitcoin is not censorship resistant because it is not fungible. Censors don’t need to block a transaction if they can just deny everyone you trade with exchange access. Bitcoin has lost the plot when they start talking about this shit.
