Nobody actually spends BTC outside of tech hippies and ultra rich people. Who cares if they are "national currency". Australia has made it legal for years before all these third world fake news and how much BTC have been spent for common purchases?
To assume only maxis own BTC is the single most retarded assumption anyone can make. BTC excels in staying power in value. That's why the entire industry anchors its values against it.
It seems to me you fundamentally do not understand what "Bitcoin Maximalism" is.
BTC maxi is the belief that only BTC needs to exist and it can perform all the functions the so-called "shitcoins" can perform.
Who cares if alts tank against BTC? Only maxis seem to care. Imagine being that one idiot who needs to tell people dollar keeps tanking against gold while the rest of the sane world just uses dollar as a medium of exchange while they stack precious metal and land as their wealth.
You operate under the false assumption that "shitcoins" are looking to surpass BTC in price. At best, they might get a chance to surpass the market cap. Alts exist because BTC doesn't have the day to day functions people are looking for.
Sure, let me know when BTC can do what Theta can. The very fact that you have the dissonance to use Hive while subscribing to maximalism shows you don't seem to understand what the tenets of that dogma imply. A maxi would argue BTC can do what Hive does, including tokenized communities and a censorship resistant "social media".
Just from this exchange, I don't think you understand the difference between currency vs. asset or money vs. wealth.
