Bitcoin: A New Peak and the Influence of Maximalism

With Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high, discussions on the contribution and influence of Bitcoin maximalism and the role of blockchain technology in the modern digital industry have been reignited.

Bitcoin and Maximalism

Bitcoin has once again reached a new all-time high, leading to increased enthusiasm among holders. However, Bitcoin maximalists continue to advocate that all web technologies should exclusively be built on Bitcoin. This idea contradicts the original purpose of Bitcoin, which is to decentralize finance, while Ethereum was designed to support decentralized applications and smart contracts. For instance, Bitcoin Puppets, although unique, congest the network.

Blockchain: Suitable Application Areas

Many Web3 developers still miss the point that blockchain is not suitable for all fields. Not every industry will benefit from decentralization or immutable records. The blockchain should complement existing technologies rather than replace them. It's about finding balance and understanding where decentralization can actually be beneficial.

Technological Spectrum and Human Involvement

It's crucial to remember that all technologies, including blockchain, exist on a spectrum and interact with each other. The internet still plays a crucial role, and traditional systems like fiat currencies will remain. Blockchain systems need to coexist with other systems. Furthermore, technologies still require human administration and oversight. Even in decentralized systems, humans remain an essential component, especially when it comes to correcting errors or addressing problems.

Bitcoin's new achievement highlights the importance of understanding technology's role, its advantages, and limitations. Modern technologies require coordination and a comprehensive approach, where blockchain can serve as an important, but not the sole element of the ecosystem.
