The launch of Bitcoin in 2009 created a resilient and decentralized monetary asset. Early adherents rallied around it as a singular innovation — immutable, fixed-supply, and leaderless. Over time, this coalesced into a belief system: Bitcoin maximalism. The argument was simple. Bitcoin came first. It had the most Proof-of-Work security. The most conservative monetary policy. All other assets were distractions or regressions.But that framing increasingly diverges from how Bitcoin is now being applied in practice.Interoperability Becomes the New NormToday, the crypto ecosystem is no longer a collection of isolated silos or, at least, it needn’t be.
