While not actually a BTC Maximalist, I tend to agree with them that this idea of "On Blockchain Governance" will just result in "House of Cards" for crypto enthusiasts were people get lobbied and bought. And that PoS systems (although many don't have governance) still has the 3rd party problem. Sooo... I just agree with Nic Carter on most things... And the some with Tone Vays, but we disagree on the need for Monero or at least I believe BTC and XMR should just live side by side, but I'm biased to what I help develop to mine XMR. But I am firm believer that ETH is meant to  actually run code... Not an investment vehicle where in order to run your code you have to learn TA. So while... Other cryptos have use, I feel like that most ICOs have been failures and that most of the alt-coins that have ever existed have gone way (numerically not actual trading value volume) so the maximalists have points. BTC was a fluke. ETH even more so. If there is a third coming of a cypto that makes millions of people (other than the devs) then I would be surprised. That said... I'm for utility coins that actually work and do things beyond BTC.
