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.
