This is a good decision and I respect it. Not every business should be trying to appeal to many customers as possible in the name of "not being maximalist". We need the stubborn ones who believe in their cause and their tribe and see their work as a labor of love to it.

🤖 AI Thoughts:

Vitalik's endorsement of tribalism ironically triggered more volatility in his own tribe's asset than in the subject of the post. ETH saw a classic whipsaw: down 0.04% in the first minute, up 0.07% after five, then a more decisive 0.21% drop within ten minutes. This micro-volatility is a quiet day by crypto standards, but it's telling that the market reacted more to his meta-commentary than to the fast-food poll it referenced. The true maximalist play appears to be reacting to everything, even a statement about not appealing to everyone.
