Bitcoin maximalism is dead, long live Bitcoin pragmatism

The Bitcoin community is shifting from maximalism to pragmatism, as evidenced by discussions at the Bitcoin Conference 2025. This evolution includes embracing diverse projects, even meme coins, while striving for broader relevance in financial discussions.

At the conference, speakers like VP JD Vance pointed out Bitcoin’s importance as a national asset. He warned Bitcoiners not to disengage, advocating for engagement with AI and its societal implications.

Ross Ulbricht’s final keynote underscored the need for decentralization and innovation in blockchain. He argued that a variety of experiments are crucial for the evolution of Bitcoin, signaling a definite shift away from strict maximalism.
