Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) Maximalism is a flawed strategy that limits the growth of the apex coin while boosting Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), said Muneeb Ali, founder of Stacks (CRYPTO: STX).
What Happened: Ali’s comments on Bitcoin Maximalism came in the form of a Twitter thread on Monday.
Bitcoin maximalism limits the growth of Bitcoin.

Ali called himself a “Bitcoiner” and said he had held onto the cryptocurrency through several bear markets and “years of building Bitcoin applications and protocols.”
“Bitcoin maximalism assumes a zero-sum world. However, we are in a growing crypto-economy, ”Ali said.
He said the “developer attack” and “new use cases” don’t help Bitcoin but only encourage innovators to migrate to other ecosystems like Ethereum and Solana.
He cited the examples of Tether and non-fungible tokens or NFTs which both initially used the BTC network but gradually moved to Ethereum.
“Maximumists have been calling Ethereum a ‘scam’ for years now. It hasn’t stopped the growth of Ethereum, ”Ali tweeted.
He contrasted Bitcoin and Ethereum by pointing out that people who “new” to ETH or other L1s “find a thriving community of builders and applications.”
“They make up their minds based on their findings and not by a bunch of angry maximalists.”
Ali said that despite Ethereum’s “many shortcomings”, Bitcoin has “little to offer as an alternative.”
“There are no major decentralized exchanges, liquidity protocols, stablecoins in the Bitcoin ecosystem.”
Ali also raised arms against the maximalists for their attack on venture capital, but made it clear that his criticism was not aimed at people but at the strategy surrounding maximalism.
11 / This thread is not an attack on Bitcoin’s maximalists, the people. Several of them are my friends, and I understand why they are focused on Bitcoin.
This thread challenges the maximalist strategy. The maximalist strategy is ineffective, and we must replace it.

Why it matters: Bitcoin’s dominance, which was above 63% in December 2020, has fallen to 40.61%.
Ali noted in his tweets that developers’ efforts are paying off on non-Bitcoin blockchains and that is why Bitcoin’s dominance is on the decline.
“The only meaningful answer is to create better products for Bitcoin,” entrepreneur Stacks said.
12 / In summary, it’s time to create Bitcoin applications to make BTC a productive asset.
We should welcome developers and entrepreneurs. The maximalist strategy achieved its objective in 2017 and no longer works; let’s focus now on the builders.
Long BTC, long innovation. LFG

There is a large and vast ecosystem of startups engaged in creating a “user-owned internet” on Bitcoin with Slacks.
“Stacks transforms Bitcoin from a passive asset into a programmable and accessible asset for all,” said Mitchell Cuevas, head of growth at Stacks Foundation in a Benzinga exclusive.
