Charlie Lee is at it again. The Litecoin (available on Coinbase) founder isn’t shy when it comes to voicing his opinion on crypto via Twitter and yesterday was no different. It seems this time, he’s targeting Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) maximalists.

Charlie Lee vs. Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) Maximalists

It all started with a poll.

Some self-proclaimed Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) Maximalists are actually Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) Extremists. They think all other coins are scams and will go to zero.
Maximalists think Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) is and will remain the dominant cryptocurrency but there is room for aLTCoins to exist and even do well.
What are you?

It seems Mr. Lee isn’t happy with a group of self-proclaimed Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) maximalists. The Litecoin (available on Coinbase) founder goes even as far as calling them “extremists,” which isn’t generally a positive thing to call someone.

In 23 hours, Charlie Lee has collected over 28,000 votes on his poll and Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) maximalist has taken over the majority of it. At press time, Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) extremist has 9%, aLTCoin maximalist has 33%, and nocoiner has 10%. That leaves the remaining 48% to individuals who deem themselves Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) maximalists.

Traditionally, maximalists believe that Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) (BTC) is the top cryptocurrency and the one to use day-to-day. Where Lee seems upset is that a group of these maximalists have attacked his own project and feel there is no space for any aLTCoins in the industry. This is what prompted the Twitter poll and attack on these so-called “extremists.”

Others had their own take on the poll and subject, as usual.

“Supremacists” has a more negative connotation…
In recent years, “extremists” has been used more and more to simply mean “someone who actually believes what they say they do”.

Another person actually knocking Litecoin (available on Coinbase) said:

I’ve always thought you seemed like a super good person and for a time I accumulated LTC. That being said I sold all my LTC this year for Bitcoin (available on Coinbase), and that was not out of ideology. It was a selfish, financial calculation I made because I don’t see an enduring reason for LTC.

Not sure why the person above bought Litecoin (available on Coinbase) because they thought Charlie Lee was a “good person” but that’s probably someone that shouldn’t be investing—just my opinion. Binance’s CEO even joined into the conversation.
