Cool piece — thanks for sharing.

It’s rare to see someone dig this deeply into the roots of a heated debate like Toxic Bitcoin Maximalism (TBM) and unpack its messy history, instead of just parroting the usual “maximalist = cult” narrative. The way the author traces the term back — from early online forums to cultural memes — is raw and real, and reminds us that a label like “toxic” rarely lands overnight; it gets loaded, reused, morphed.

What I like most: this article doesn’t just aim to prove a point or take a side — it forces you to ask, why we use these labels at all. Are we critiquing behaviour, or simply reacting to discomfort with someone’s beliefs?

All in all: it’s messy, opinionated — but honest. A must-read for anyone who wants more than just a soundbite version of “maximalist vs shitcoins.”
