That is a bit extreme to think there is only bitcoin to survive, to be the only option of payments. To me Bitcoin maximalism starts with the assumption that the blockchain market is a zero-sum game. They believe that all other tokens have to fail for Bitcoin to succeed. If that’s the case right now every single blockchain project that has a value is a thread to bitcoin itself in their eyes. You can compare it to EOS vs ETH. In my eyes there is enough space for much more than Bitcoin only or either EOS vs ETH. What about Steem, or many other projects with very bright future. Can you imagine Steem being replaced by bitcoin? Of course, I do believe bitcoin will always be #1 in market value, unles something we don’t know happens. But you just can’t compare bitcoin to other ALTs and ICOs with projects as you pointed out.
