 What if the road to Bitcoin dominance is paved with chaos, not morality?

As Bitcoin edges closer to becoming the world’s dominant asset, the growing debate isn’t just about technology—it’s about ideology. Bitcoin maximalists, like Murad, see profit opportunities in the collapse of altcoins, challenging the notion that belief in Bitcoin must come with moral purity. This tug-of-war between ideology and financial gain leaves investors caught in a storm, unsure if they should ride the wave or stick to rigid ideals.

The collapse of altcoins isn’t just theoretical; it’s happening in real time. VCs and projects boasting breakthrough tech are faltering, while retail investors shift from supposed “next-gen” cryptos to fleeting memecoins. This confusion creates a dangerous space where speculation thrives unchecked. Bitcoin’s rise as the only enduring asset may be inevitable, but until then, the market will remain volatile. Those unwilling to adapt risk being swept away in this mess. Meanwhile, the pressure on Bitcoin believers to choose between profit and principle creates further division, forcing them to question: Is it smarter to bet on ideals—or on reality?
