Nearly all crypto traders are maximalists, they have to be as that is the nature of trading. However, there is a timeline issue as to when they became maximalists, because once upon a time, Bitcoin didn't really have much value.

I disagree that they aren't the core users of cryptocurrency though, as the Steem core are the intended users. It was never meant to be a technology for trading alone, it was meant o empower ordinary people and give them options outside the central framework. Steem does this, better than most other chains as most other chains are nearly all based on trading sentiment, whereas here, people are making the decision to risk their value in favor of their ideals.

It is all very interesting to be a part of.
