If this weren't HackerNews, where sarcasm is heavily discouraged, I'd assume that you were being very sarcastic. But since this is HackerNews, I'm confused.

I mean, surely anyone who knows anything about blockchains would be aware that the long-term plans, even among traditionalists, would involve an ecosystem of interacting chains. And then presumably folks with some level of technical understanding realize that even a singular ecosystem's overly naive. I doubt few people actually believe in Bitcoin-maximalism, outside of memetic-humor. ...right?

Sorry, I'm still confused about junk like flat-Earthers. I mean, I've known flat-Earthers who were straight-up committed trolls; they were committed to the bit and would actingly-angrily denounce the round-Earth conspiracy, but they most definitely didn't actually believe that Earth was flat. But.. other folks.. it was harder to tell; were they even more committed, or did they actually believe that Earth was flat? Anyway, a lot of blockchain-stuff's similar -- I get that a lot of folks are trolling, but are there really true-believers who're legitimately sincere?

Gopher is also still functioning, technically.
