A one-coin-only zealot, usually Bitcoin.
Definitions
Short for maximalist — someone who believes one specific cryptocurrency will dominate and that all others are scams, distractions, or 'shitcoins'. Bitcoin maxis are the loudest and most numerous, but Ethereum maxis, Solana maxis and Monero maxis all exist. The defining trait is purity-testing: alts are not just bad investments, they're moral failings.
