Chain maximalism and thrashing are at their peak, probably at a level never seen before.

I am seeing increasingly high volume and intensity of tweets, posts, charts comparing various chains in terms of TVLs, transaction fees, speed and so on across different L1/L2 chains across all ecosystems. While good to see such data to stay up to date on the what is happening in the overall ecosystem, it's disappointing to see the level of thrashing by everyone for "not-their-favorite" chains and claims that their favorite chain will flip the Bitcoin.

There is a whole bunch of crypto influencers on YouTube and twitter who seem to have gotten into a full time job of thrashing crypto chains that they have not put their money in and of course, disproportionately elevate the chains they have put money in.

This level of hatred and clash is not healthy for the ecosystem. Truth be told, we, as a crypto community, are tiny as ant and at this stage, we need more harmony and cohesion than thrashing other chains. One chain is not the enemy of the other but it's those looking at these chains from outside.

So, sincerely hope the sanity and sensibility prevails and people realize that we don't really need to fight with each other, it's the people outside the crypto circle are the ones that we need to unite against and address current gaps.
