While on that topic? It's interesting. I am a maxi-antimaxi. So one I have not bought is a Coldacard. There is this recent bitcoin maxi "pleb" meme going around twitter.
As with any framework, there are going to be variations in the levels of adherents and the extent to which anyone might follow some of the ideas and deviate or reject other ideas.
I would surmise that the vast majority of so-called bitcoin maximalists would not necessarily accept being categorized and sure some of the ideas are more likely to carry over time and other ideas will not..
I would imagine in the future, the vast majority of people are going to end up fitting into the bitcoin maximalist category (as it evolves) whether they agree to it or not and whether any of the ideas of bitcoin maximalism continue to exist beyond the sound money components of Gresham's law.. that we are likely all going to end up gravitating into it..
So maybe it takes 50 to 100 years or longer for the majority of folks to be buying into bitcoin as the soundest of moneys... and maybe even adopting various other ideas that relate to current ideas of bitcoin maximalism and sound practices... but the assignment of some values as universals as if they might be sound practices may not stand too well - even if some of the ideas might relate to sound money equals desires to gravitate towards other sound practices - and what are those other sound practices may well evolve over time. whether it is the cold card now or other ideas of sound practices.. or maybe some other device that starts to seem to be the most sound of the practices (from a sound money perspective, to a sound practices perspective)..
I have no idea what a "bitcoin pleb" is.
Maybe plebs and normies are similar concepts.. It's like ordinary people who might just be getting started with bitcoin.. a regular pleb versus a bitcoin pleb would be that a bitcoin pleb has just learned about bitcoin and is here to get involved in it (not here to fix it, as they other expression goes regarding the arrogant newbie). For sure, no one likes values being imposed on them, so they adopt values, but if someone is new to bitcoin there might be some common traits.. but then there are some common traits of the "everyman" too.. even though very few people would want to consider themselves as an "everyman" there still might be some common traits that each person shares with the "everyman."
Think 6.15 is both juvenile, and not enough, really.
I recognize that you are merely touching upon some of these various bitcoin maxi ideas, so I should not be blaming your for your own tendencies..and surely, we likely realize that the idea of 6.125 BTC
(I will use 6.125 rather than 6.15 as my reference) is coming from one bitcoiner (I believe AmericanHODL) who started to propagate such idea a few years ago - but it is still a big so what, just like I had been propagating the idea that I have more than 0.63 BTC starting more than a year ago.. but my propagation did not take off - even though I did not consider it having any connection with the other target propagation. Some things are somewhat contagious in the space, and maybe there is some coincidentalisms but at the same time some subconciousness in adopting various kinds of ideas and in this case target BTC accumulation numbers that would ultimately expect to be tailored to individual personal circumstances... at least should be tailored to personal circumstances.
For sure, 6.125 BTC would be way too large for the very beginner bitcoiner, and may even be too high for someone who has gotten into bitcoin after September 2020 - even though getting to 6.125 BTC would have been quite a bit easier as a lump sum investment right around September 2020 (at $10k) versus having had been involved in ongoing BTC accumulation after September 2020 and still 6.125 BTC might remain somewhat difficult to reach - even with such ongoing BTC accumulation that is going beyond 2 years now for peeps, plebs and/or normies in that kind of a current BTC accumulation situation.
For sure (or by definition), anyone getting into BTC in mid-2018 or around that kind of a time frame and continuing to accumulate BTC in late 2018, 2019 and most of 2020 - and even into present times may well would have decent chances of being able to both reach and exceed supra 6.125 BTC accumulation levels.. even if we might be averaging BTC prices in the $8k range rather than supra $10k or even rather than supra $20k which would have largely been the BTC accumulation prices after October/November 2020 (absent today's prices having quite extended times below $20k for the past 3 months or so - while supplies (and these prices) last.
If we start to consider the circumstances of folks who got into bitcoin on and around the late 2017 forkening wars or earlier, then those guys should have had way easier times getting up to 6.125 BTC.. (thinking about BTC prices quite below $4k for most of that time... and really way below and even the longer into BTC, such as going back to 2015, 2013 or even 2011 (like uie-pooie), then surely it seems quite likely that any of us with even half a sense of seriousness in regards to bitcoin, should have been well able to quite exceed 6.125 BTC by multiples - absent really major mistakes in which some of us may well have suffered - so in some of those senses, even the bitcoiners coming into bitcoin prior to 2016, should have had pretty good odds of being able to stack quite a bit higher than 6.125 BTC - even if making quite a few mistakes.. and surely some of us are dumbies too and some of us are whimpy too.. and even some of the whimpies stuck with 20 BTC as their target.. hahahahaha.. I cannot help my lil selfie.. nohomo.
Maybe I have adequately addressed this 6.125 matter.. .. and surely so many of us will realize that the more that we have the easier and more options that we likely have, but each of us still likely realize that we have to be careful NOT to get too many BTC that ends up causing us inabilities to really meaningful to be able to hang onto such BTC that we have accumulated because we failed/refused to adequately acknowledge that dollars still exist.. and that if we want to pay for things, even emergencies, many of our current expenses are going to be calculated in dollars, and even if we can pay in bitcoin, if we have not hung onto enough dollars in these times of decently high BTC volatility, then we are likely going to end up paying with way more BTC than we would wish to depart with because we had failed/refused to adequately prepare our lil selfies.
