I am relatively new to the cryptocurrency space and although I have some strong opinions about things here but have learned that its better to listen before speaking.
After I saw your post in the morning I have been thinking about the what could possibly be behind the idea of bitcoin maximalism. I am a firm supporter of a diversified portfolio but I am also a firm support of the fact that every portfolio needs bitcoin to make it complete.
As for the book I might not be able to read it anytime soon (my 'to read' list is way to long at the moment) but I would really like to hear your opinion if you do read it.
