bitcoin maximalism culture is to blame for:
- a fatally defective maxi-branded hardware wallet getting relentlessly shoved in everyone's face for years
- centralization via lightning companies which should not exist
- a thousand excuses for scaling via custodians
- darknet marketplaces abandoning bitcoin and never adopting lightning
- teaching normies and plebs that bitcoin is for stupid arrogant pricks
- wall street deciding the outcome of every bitcoin fork from now on
- blocking real sidechains in favor of centralized pretend sidechains
- blocking covenant opcodes in favor of centralized pretend taproot emulated covenants
- collapsing miner's fee revenue and giving all of it to competing proof of stake networks
- the BIP-110 distraction industrial complex
- attempting to centralize nostr
