"Bitcoin is all that matters, but so does everything else," says Dr. Michael Tabone, a senior economist for Cointelegraph. Introducing the concept of "Bitcoin Maxi Plus," he argues for a balanced perspective that acknowledges Bitcoin's supremacy while also appreciating the innovation in other cryptocurrencies. This stance sees the crypto ecosystem as a testing ground for advancements that could benefit Bitcoin directly or indirectly. From smart contracts to NFTs, each generation of crypto brings something new to the table. So, while Bitcoin may be the king, let's not forget the court jesters who keep things interesting! 😄
