Veteran trader Peter Brandt recently branded BTC as a legacy coin that will ultimately outlast and outperform all “make-believe cryptos wannabees.” Some non-bitcoin maximalists have said the veteran trader’s remarks about bitcoin are misguided and called on him to remain flexible.

Maximalist Ideology

Veteran trader Peter Brandt recently riled altcoiners after he suggested that bitcoin will outperform and outlast what he described as “make-believe cryptos wannabees.” Brandt made the remarks after Mike Cautillo — a private investor at e-Holdings — concurred with his earlier tweet about BTC’s impending “decisive breakout.”

Matthew Casterns, one of the Twitter users that responded to Brandt’s remarks, said he did not understand the reasoning behind the veteran trader’s assertions. Casterns argued that proclaiming BTC “will forever out-value everything” is misguided. He also urged Brandt to stay flexible.

Another Twitter user, Allicnac, reminded Brandt about the Bitcoin network’s high transaction fees and long confirmation times and how these make the facilitation of efficient transactions impossible. The user ended the tweet by telling Brandt not to be “fooled by maximalist ideology.”

However, in his subsequent tweets on the same subject, Brandt, who has previously clashed with the bitcoin “laser eye” movement, appeared to reaffirm his belief in BTC. In one of these tweets, the veteran trader shared a chart which seemingly points to a possible bull run.
